I stumbled into a bunch of 21" 55W 7100K Realux brand daylight compact fluorescent bulbs. I couldn't pass them up at $4.99 apiece at a surplus store. I keep a 125 gallon community tank with Java and Christmas moss and a bunch of Platy's, and some other community fish. What I need to know...

I've really screwed up and need some help. Already lost my clown loach and want to protect the rest of my guys. 6 days ago I moved a 75 gallon tank to a 125 gallon tank. Previous readings were PH 7.4, nitrite 0, nitrate 40, temp 76F. After carefully moving my livestock to buckets with siphoned...

I just picked up a 125 galllon 5 year old tank, stand, lights, top, lots of accessories including a nice clean and fill apparatus with 40 feet of hose and a Rena XP3 canister filter, river rock, and several large artifical rock pieces all for $300.00. The tank came from Petco and is 5 years...

I got this stuff from a guy but didn't get a positive ID on it. I think the stuff on the right is Java Moss but the hairy stuff has me stumped. It's a big hairy clump. One of my Platy's got caught tight in it and and died. Any ideas what it is would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys. A couple of months ago I spent $40.00 on a mess of greens that a guy was thinning out from his aquariums. It is doing well in my tank and looks great but I don't know what the name of the hairy moss like plant that is right of center looking into the tank. Can anyone identify the...

I am wanting to have a Ghost shrimp safe aquarium. It is a 29 gallon tank with an Aqueon quiet flow 30 hang on tank filter rated at 200 gph max. I know the free floating babies would be pulled into the intake stem so I covered the stem with two garni bags which are pretty fine meshed, then...

I have a week old 29 gallon tank I set up a week ago with ghost shrimp who seem to be doing well. They are eating, seem healthy and happy. I used substrate from a well established tank and have a hang on tank and a little heater set at 76 degrees. I checked my water parameters for the first...

Hi guys. I moved 2" of substrate and 10 gallons of water from my 75 gallon community tank into a new 29 gallon tank. I did it so I could move my ghost shrimp into the new tank and they formally hid all the time to keep from getting eaten. The new tank has a hot Aqueon filter, a heater set on 76...

My first post thanks in advance for replys. My pleco has become too big for the 30 gal tank I keep him in with about 12 sunburst platys. I have purchased a used 75 gal tank, scraped and resealed it and am waiting a few days for it to cure. My question is will the tank cycle when I move the...

Hi guys. Don Elder here from Broken Arrow OK. Here looking to learn and share what little I know. Lots about nursing but much less about fish. I am in the process of upgrading to a 75 gallon tank from a 30 because my plecostomus grew up!
