I have recently aquired a 75gal tank that was saltwater. I have begun my research and am planning a malawi/mbuna tank. I was wondering if I could/should try to re-use the live rock and crushed coral substrate if it was thoroughly rinsed? Any other advice would be welcome.

What's up Everybody! I find myself with a new 10gal tank from Santa and I can't decide what to do. I am experienced and have a 55 gal currently with gourami, rams, black neons, red flames, and emerald cory cats and I've kept aquariums for years. Here are a couple pics of the 10 as it cycles so...

OK, sad and excited, my African Featherfin has finally gotten large and aggressive enough some of my smaller tetras have started disappearing and it no longer gets along with my 2 GBR so he's moving to a better place. So now I need some bottom feeder types that are non-aggressive and can...

I currently have 4 flame von rios, 5 black neons, an opaline gourami, one GBR, 1 Bolivian Ram (sold to me as a juvie GBR d'oh!), 1 african featherfin catfish, and one albino rubberlip pleco in a 55gal. I want to round out the schools of tetra to 8 each but i cant find anymore red flame von...

Okay so last night I finally figured out what the weird noise in my tank was, my heater was eating itself! Some kind of nasty brown foamy stuff bubbled out of it so I immediately removed it, did a PWC 30% and have now got a new heater but the tank temp is 76f and its normally at 82 for my rams...

Okay, I know these catfish are also called squeeker cats, but has anyone ever actually heard them make a noise? I know it sounds crazy, but there has recently been an occasional high pitched whine type sound (highly technical phrase) coming from my tank. The only thing that I could surmise was...

Hello Fish-heads, I have an awesome African Featherfin (Pokey) which is at or near full size 6.5-7 inches that I worry isn't getting satisfied with the food it gets (tetra color wafer crisps). It eats every bit it can get then just vacuums the rest of the tank. I mean every leaf, deco, top...

Okay so after a long and frustrating search I finally was able to obtain some Rams :D I think the LFS got me though, there was one adult GBR and several juvies. So I bought the adult and 2 of the babies even though the babies didn't seem to have the right coloration, I assumed they would grow...

So I watched the new show Tanked and was wondering; Okay, I have to ask (and maybe this is obvious and I'm just ignorant) but don't you have to cycle saltwater tanks too? If so (and if even if not) how do these guys get away with building the tank, filling it with water and loading it...

Well I finally found a GBR and I'm ecstatic. Got her on Sat. and she's doing well. Unfortunately, the big angels I had in my 55 dont seem to want to stop chasing her so they had to move to my bros 75g. My question is this, I REALLY want a male to put with her and I found one today at...

Hey everybody, found this guy at the LFS last night somebody brought him back when he outgrew his home. I call him Lucky the rescue rainbow, anybody know for sure what he is?

:cool: Hey Everybody, I'm new to this site and forums in general! I am so tired of trying to get answers from people at the evil empire chain petstores. I have read the forums here several times for advice, so I decided to join to see if I could learn more and maybe share some of my...
