    Where to find a good stand?

    I have a 40g long and the stand I have doesn't fit the tank at all and I call the stand is starting to give way under all of the weight. When I look to buy from LFS they don't have a stand that can fit the dimensions of a 40g long. What are some suggestions of where I can find a good stand for...

    Restock ideas! Need Advice!

    So I have had my 40g long up for a while now.

    Fish doin very well!...except 3.

    I just got my tank fully stocked on Friday and all of my little fish look GREAT. They are all very active, happy, and get along really well. (My GBR actually rarely hides in his little cave. He's usually out swimming around with the cories or the angel) However, I've had 2 Albino pleco and 1...

    All fish on same side of tank?

    This is the third day I've had my tank stocked. It's a 40g long and I have about 10 Glo-light tetra, 10 Danio, 5 cory, 1 angel, 1 GBR, and 2 BN pleco. They ALL hang out on the right side of the tank and I have no idea why. I feed the floating flakes for the tetra and danio on the left side...

    Glo-light bottom feeding

    I just stocked my tank almost full on Friday, and after feeding them today I realized that they have taken no interest in floating or sinking foods. All of my Glo-Light Tetra are waiting for the food to hit the bottom and then pecking it off the sand. This irritates my GBR a bit, but he does...

    Thinking about adding Pitbull Pleco.

    As the title states, but I'm unsure if they will go well with the rest of my stock list which is: 1-Angelfish 1-Bolivian Ram 6-Cory 10-Rummynose 12-Danio I'm thinking about adding 3 which I think will fully stock my 40g long. Also, will it do okay on sand?

    Question on Heater for 40g long.

    Right now I have 1 heater in the back of the tank right in the middle. It's made for a 50g tank. I'm not sure if the heater is making sure the water is warm enough on the far ends of the tank. Should I invest in another heater and put them on each side of the glass as opposed to the...

    Title. Is the DAP 100% clear Silicone Rubber Sealant safe to use for a DIY slate cave? It's made for doors, windows, siding, vents, and gutters. It doesn't say anything about mildew prevention but it does say, "Meets ASTM c920, Class 25."

    DIY Slate Cave.

    I've been planning on building a tall thin slate cave/structure for my 40g to help diffuse some of the water cascading into the tank from the HOB filters. (I know there are other ways of making the filter softer and such but I'd like to keep the filtration strong just diffuse some of the...

The Fern and Anubias look like they're doing fine but all the swords look like they're browning on the edges and aren't doing well. I give them about 12 hours of light, but they are buried at the bottom in...

    I've read through eco's guide and am ready to get going I've just run into a snag. I have everything all set up to start but when I put some ammo in (about a lid full) the strips that I have are all coming out a grey color? Does that mean I've put too much in?

    I just picked up a 40g long and really want to do some live plants. I've heard here and there that Water Sprite and Java Fern are fairly easy to keep and don't really need any added co2 with a decent amount of fish in the tank.
