    cheap pc lighting

    cheap bulbs maybe? ive got pc bulbs from drs foster & smith but i would highly reccommend ah supply i got a 2x55w kit and it wasn't too hard to put together, their reflectors are so good that you only need 55s to cause as much if not more light than 65s to be reflected into your aquarium i...

    Algea Eater Question. . .

    i would recommend a pleco. siamese alage eaters are too aggressive and might harass some of your fish. Otocinclus are awesome and soo cute but in my experience they are best in a planted tank, they often die mysteriously even in the right conditions. plecos are pretty hardy and always hungry...

    Dwarf Gourami

    the peat will lower the ph and raising the temp just a few degrees no matter how warm it is will trigger them...so will a water change i never had any luck raising the fry...they are very delicate but it was fun to watch them spawn and the male is so funny guarding his nest what kind of lights...

    Dwarf Gourami

    gouramis cannot build a bubblenest without the floating plants, take some of your anarchis or moneywort and just let it float for a few days, also adding some peat and raising the temp to about 80F will usually trigger them no matter the water level...mine didnt care

    SunPaq Dual Daylight

    I'm looking for a new bulb for my 65w pc and was wondering if anyone had any experience with SunPaq's Dual Daylight 6700ºK/10000ºK lamps. I have a 29g with a sword and some newly purchased wal-mart plant bulbs. Should I go with this new one or just the 6700K? Thanks in advance!

    3 dead bows in one night help!!!

    Two days ago I noticed some white spots on a couple of my rainbows and started treating the tank for ick. I thought the treatment (Wardlys Ick Away) was helping until I looked into my tank this morning. I've lost three fish and the others are not looking good at all. They are not showing...

    help! alage attacking crayfish

    i have been fighting some nasty brown hair alage for quite awile now and seem to be losing the battle...i did a bleach dip on my vals and anubis and it seemed to work, but I think it had already spread to my eco complete so now its back. Since my blue crayfish hides most of the time i didnt...

    filter cleaning

    I think the ottos would be better than a chinese alage eater....i started with the CAE but ended up getting rid of them b/c they were just too agressive. They would jump on my bigger fish and were too territorial. I now have four ottos and they are doing great! My local fish guy told me to...

    starting 29 gal planted tank

    I have a 29g with a 65w compact and a hagen natural co2 and in the two months ive had it up my plants have gone crazy with minimal alage problems. I def think that if you are planning on over 3wpg you should have some sort of co2 and make sure you dose with ferts...they help keep alage at bay...

    gourami breeding

    i just recently purchased a "boyfriend" for my female powder blue gourami and put them in a 10g tank with lots of plants but the male doesn't seem too interested in building a nest. The female has even bulged up since they've been together and started following him around. I have the temp...
