Can I use this in an aquarium? I want to glue some java fern to rocks and driftwood. I'm just curious if it's safe and the proper application. Is it safe to just glue the rhizome to any given surface?

Here I Threw some random things around the house together and managed to setup a tank. Overall I think I'm going with a planted setup but for now I'm considering stocking options. Never had a tank so small. It is cycled and kept at 79dgz. Hard water. Mopani wood some java fern and moss. I want...

Aside from purchasing a new filter I'm fully stocked and waiting to watch my java fern slowly take over! Equipment 50w hydor heater kept at 79 Aquaeon 30g quiet flow running ammonia remover, carbon, and housing a sponge Air pump 1 18w t8 strip 1 15w (?) t8 strip (pulled from a 10g hood) Live...

Pretty sure I am overstocked. I have a 29 gallon bowfront with 5 tiger barbs. Today however I received 11 more from a friend who broke his tank down, 6 albino and 5 green. I'm pretty sure this is seriously overstocked. I run a 30g quiet flow with ammonia removed carbon and a sponge. It is well...

I am hoping to find someone local (Arizona) who has some plant safe shrimp and snails. I'm also seeking a large HOB filter or a canister up to 55g. I am strapped for cash but I have a lot to trade. Brand new 29g tank. Bought it as a kit from Petco about 2 weeks ago. Using the hood for...

Can't seem to make up my mine :( I switched over from a standard 29 to a bowfront and so far it's fully cycled (thank you established filters!) and stocked with 5 tiger barbs. How would yellow and cherry barbs fare with the tigers? Maybe a school of tough tetras? I'd like a gourami but I know he...

I bought 6 medium sized tiger barbs this weekend on sheer impulse, have always wanted them and they were 75 cents a piece! Great sale, and even better they had a newbie on register and she only charged me for one! Ha, anyway, they went Into my planted (somewhat heavily) and heavily filtered 29g...

I have a ton of Java fern looking to trade for some jungle vals, maybe anubias nana, anything low light really. Will post pics later :)

Absolutely Love the look of Jungle Val. I am curious how it would do in a 29g tank with 18w t8 and no dosing. The research I've done said low light should be fine but I've heard different from a few people who couldn't keep it in their tank of similar wpg. If indeed I can do it, would anybody...

I noticed bubbles rising from my driftwood in a few places. At first it was one or two but occasionally it looks like a very very weak bubbler lol. It is heavily planted and in mid cycle. It may be mopani wood as well, it was sold as driftwood in the reptile section at petsmart under the brand...

After a fulfilling run with saltwater I got out of the hobby about 3 months ago. It proved futile because I just couldn't help coming back. At this point in my life I don't have the money to make mistakes which is why I want to be prepared and prevent any plant loss! First of all, I bought a...

Standard 29 gallon tank and I want to eventually have it planted. For now I have some anarchis and an anbuias. I'm keeping half the anarchis floating and the other half planted to determine which is better for growth considering I'm running an 18w t8 bulb. I'm just curious where do i sstart with...

Ive got one angel, a bolivian ram and a senegal bichir in a 40g breeder. Running a 60 gallon and a 50 gallon filter.

Im looking to keep the following species.... Volitans lion Some puffer. Prefrably hardy and able to live in something under 100 gallons. A trigger A snowflake eel. Not sure on which puffer or trigger but ideally inexpensive and hardy. I have around 600 dollars for the complete setup. I can...

Is this normal? He shares the tank with a bichir. Paremeters are great. Hes under the same rock all dau every day. Only comes out to feed. Wth :(

I currently have a juvenile african knife and a juvenile senegal bichir in a planted 40g. It is over filtered and I change 20g a week. I never see the knife, and I rarley see the bichir. I was thinking, maybe a few tiger barbs?

Can I have this stuff in my filter or will it filter out what I need to quickly for a cycle to start? If thay makes sense. I'm starting the cycle with some dead shrimp.

Completely dead live rock commonly used on salt water. Would this be useable in freshwater?

Dunno what to stock. Last tank for sometime...so im not sure :( id love one large fish. Or mbunas but im afraid my tank is small. Planted is also an option...duuno. I dont care for goldfish, platties, mollies, or swords of any kind...so. Any suggestions?

I'd like a relatively large fish that will be comfortable in a 40g breeder. Id love a puffer but not too knowledgable on them. Something that would live long too. Any suggestions?

Roughly speaking, how much electricity will this cost me? Id be running a 30-60 gallon filter, an air pump and a 18w light. Obviously the filter and pump would run all day with a 14 hour light cycle. I may also invest in a canister filter. Now that I'm on my im on my ien I'm not to sure I can...

Hello all! I'm not sure if I can post threads pertaining to my aquarium in general, or if it has to be a relative inquisition, but regardless, here is my tank. 40 gallons Crushed coral/Aquarium sand mix 200w heater 24(?) florescent light (god it needs a new bulb so bad..) Aquaclear 50 filter...

So, I'm deciding to upgrade my 10g to a 20g long. I originally wanted a 29g high, but I don't want to spend too much, not to mention my stand is custom built for a 20g long, dunno if it could hold the 29. Not to mention, wouldn't the extra swimming room be better? Anyway, I just have a few...

So, the dimensions of a 40g breeder are 36 x 18 x 16 and a 55 is 48 x 13 x 20 Now, bare minimum, people suggest an oscar be placed in a 55 gallon. I don't understand though, why can't a 4d i0g be suitable? You get an extra foot in length, an extra four inches in height, and you lose...

I understand an oscar should have at minimum a 55g. I will be moving him to a 55g on july 1st when petco does the $/gallon sell. For teh time being, I've had a 5" oscar in my 40g breeder for about a month. I had it seeded heavily with mature media so I didn't see much of a cycle but it is SO...
