    Free: 8ish Inch Common Pleco you pay for shipping

    Will ship anywhere. Free for whoever wants it. I have no idea how old it is. I know that I've had it for a week in a 10 gallon and the person before me had it for over 2 months had it in the same 10 gallon. I assume the person before him had it in the same 10 gallon. Need to find good home for him.

    Algae in canister filter hoses

    Am I forever screwed to clean them? Or can I use black tape or something to block out the light so less grows. I don't mind cleaning it, but it's a process and I would be a lot happier if I didn't have to do it so often.

    Tank of death

    This is me venting and thinking out loud. I'm aware of the obvious mistake I've made with this and by no means am looking for advice for those. We bought fish at the beginning of the week. We got 3 male guppies to add to the 2 we had, an apple snail and a betta (yes I know, not a community...

    Lightbulb Length Question

    I received some japanese fluorescent light fixtures from a friend. They run no problem off the american outlets (similar voltage I assume). I was looking to see how much it would cost to replace the bulbs. I know that they are T8 bulbs and are 20 watts but when I measure them (from pin-to-pin)...

    Hiding inverts

    I have a fan shrimp and a mystery snail that both are hiding inside a fake volcano with an air stone in it. It's kind of annoying cause I want to see them. Would it be terrible if I filled the volcano with the filter floss so they couldn't hide out in it? Or should I just remove it entirely? Or...

    Questions on tanking common goldfish

    I have two coworkers who are getting ready to move and the both have what I'm guessing are two common goldfish each. One of them has the two fish with a pleco in an unheated 10g or 20g tank (she's not sure) and the other has her 2 goldfish in a 2g tank or something small like that. They have...

    My hood died

    So I'm fairly new to this so I'm looking for a little advice. The hood on my 10g tank just had both bulb sockets die and I'm looking to get a piece of acrylic and separate lamp to replace it. Where should I look for the acrylic and what type of lamp should I look for to accommodate the 10...

    Tired guppies

    Is it possible to have too much water flow for your fish? I have a 10 gallon cycled tank (fishless over a 3 month period) and have had 2 guppies and a flower shrimp in it for a couple weeks. The guppies swim around but just as often as they're swimming they chill in a 'calm' area if the tank. I...

    WooHoo!!!!

    Just might have scored a 30 gallon tank tonight for free! I don't have ANYTHING else to set up a salt water tank so I'm currently reading EVERYTHING I can and pricing everything out. Unfortunately the tank is a hexagon tank but I think it has a stand, which would make it easy to hide some of...
