You are the best!! Thanks a lot. Great advice - very detailed.

Hi everyone, Quick question. I have had my Fluval Edge set up for a few months now and according to the instructions manual it is now time to replace a few of my filter components (BIOMAX, carbon sachet, etc). From your experience, should I be following the replacement schedule provided or...

I do weekly 25 to 30% PWCs and I test my water every couple of weeks. I finally cycled about 1 month ago and since then all my fish/shrimp/snails are happy :)

Glad to hear you like the lights! Is your tank salt-water? Mine is a freshwater one and I haven't had any problems with corrosion. Only option would be to get a piece of glass or acrylic and affix it to the lights with crazy glue or sillicone. I hope that helps :D

I love yours! Super cool.

Do crystals/Sakura breed a lot? I only have a 6G tank.

I was thinking of getting either: More Amano shrimp... since I have "3" (two are missing), I was thinking of adding 7 more for a total of 10 Amanos OR 2 more Amanos PLUS 5 Crystal Shrimp. I have never had crystal shrimp before so I'm not sure if they breed a lot or not and if they would...

Excellent. Thanks for the info!

Do you find that shrimp add a lot of bioload to your tank? I'd like to get more but I'm scared of overstocking my tank. I can't seem to find two of my three shrimp so far. I guess they'll come out at some point. If they haven't come out in 2 weeks I'll definitely start to worry!

I really like it even though it is very hard to stock due to its mini size. You can take a look at my actual tank here: Fluval Edge Aquarium - YouTube

Hi, I always wanted to add shrimp to my tank. I just went with Amanos because they like eating hair algae. I have a 6 gallon tank with 4 plants. Only one of the 4 plants has the hair algae on it and it is quite close to the water current produced by the filter. In terms of stock I have: 2...

Hello everyone, I recently bought 3 Amano shrimp for my 6G Fluval Edge tank in order to combat a hair algae bloom. However, since I added the shrimp the algae seems to persist at the same levels. Any ideas? I thought Amano shrimp love hair algae. My tank is close to a well lit window...

Hi everyone, Thanks a lot for all of your responses. I am not sure if the two shrimp that are missing could be molting as I don't know much about shrimp behavior just yet. I have looked all over the tank for them except for one place. I have the Fluval Edge Zen Wall in my tank and they could...

Hey guys, So my tank has finally cycled and therefore I decided to get three Amano shrimp to eat some of my hair algae. However things are not really going according to plan for the following reasons: 1) Besides the first day, I can only ever see one of the three shrimp in the tank. The other...

I ended up ordering one of these siphons today. I will let you guys know if it was worth it once I receive it in the mail. Thanks for all your comments and tips. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140573978279&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:CA:1123

No laughing here... I have used a turkey baster before too! :hide:

Hey everyone, I have a 6G Fluval Edge tank and we always have issues getting the siphon to start flowing. My partner always end up "sucking" on the end of the tube to get it flowing. As far as I remember our siphon has the "automatic" start feature but due to the small size of our tank it's...

Get these ones if you do buy them from eBay. Lightning fast shipping and good quality/price. Brightest MR11 12 V 10 SMD LED White 160 Lumen Wide Ang | eBay

UPDATE: I just wanted to let everyone know that I successfully changed the lighting on my Fluval Edge by getting MR11 LED bulbs from eBay. It looks much brighter now :dance:

I found this feeder on Amazon. It looks good but I don't know if it would work with my tank. Amazon.com: Fish Mate F14 Aquarium Fish Feeder: Kitchen & Dining Maybe I'll just get my friend to feed the fishies 3-4 times per week.

Hi everyone, I have two male guppies, 3 sunset tetras and 1 assassin snail in my 6 gallon Fluval Edge tank. Unfortunately I had already planned a 3 week trip to Mexico in November before we decided to get our tank 3 weeks ago. I currently feed my fish daily in the morning and I am therefore...

Thank you guys for all the awesome responses so far. I have decided to get shrimp (should I get Amano, Cherry or Ghost shrimp?). I understand they won't eliminate the algae problem completely but they'll definitely help to keep the tank clean. I just have to wait until my ammonia level reaches...

I'm not fixated on the idea of getting either Otos or snails... I just need something to combat the algae issue. IF shrimps can do that and they are small enough to live in my tank then that's what I'll use :)

How many Nerite snails should I buy? These are the pictures I took today of what I think could be algae... Thoughts? :confused:

Hi there, I was thinking it could be diatoms too but I'll let you take a look :whistle: HAIR: DUST:
