I was trying to find a phone today and randomly popped into the free section. Found gold! Cycling now and will stock with a school of cardinal tetras and maybe some golden gourami.

I switched over to the Walstad method, still in the process of picking out new plants but I know I want a patch of dwarf hairgrass. I need to upgrade my lights too, they seem to be a bit on the weak side. =/ I think my cat wants to have a snack. lol

I bought some of those random bulbs at Petco a month ago and a few of them are growing like crazy in the past few days. I'm not sure what they are though because the package didn't show a list. The first 2 pics are the big plant and the flower that is growing at the end of the stem, it's...

My brother found some wood a few miles up from the falls. Here it is nice and debarked.

I found some rocks along the river earlier today for my new aquarium. They're pretty heavy and I'm trying to find out how much a glass aquarium can hold. It's a 29g on a regular stand, so there's no support along the bottom.

I was at Petco looking at the Bristlenose when the one in the corner moved. They had them labeled as regular Bristlenose, but it was a long fin. So I grabbed it! lol I got a Golden Gourami too.

So I had a airstone in my 29g for a few months now and I've been doing regular water changes, but I hadn't removed the hood in a few weeks. What do I find on the glass hood? A ton of algea growing from the water bubbling up onto the glass. So I decided maybe I'll try a power head so there's less...

Puns an lfs down in the bad part of town selling used equipment. Got a nice pine stand for $30.

I want to start saltwater and I'm wondering what would get along in a 30g. I also saw some Mandarin at my lfs and remember reading they need something special but I can't find the thread.

Just set up a 10g as a breeder and filled tap water with older gravel and nothing else. At first the ammo reading reads at 0. When I come back to the test kit 5 minutes later it's showing ammo off the scale. I even seeded stuff from the big established filter media.

As anyone has any experience with the small $36 LED light they sell at Petsmart. The package says it supports up to 30", but I'm not sure. I've never used LED before and now my T8 bulb is flickering after just a few months, I want to get something more durable.

Last night I walked out to the living room and saw my guppies eating something. I then noticed a tiiiiny little fry swimming to the plant. I was able to save 5 of them. My problem now is I haven't been able to find an lfs with baby brine shrimp. Are the fry able to eat finely powdered adult...

One of my Creamcicle Lyretails has its bottom lip puffed up. It looks like he can barely open his mouth.

It's not a peewee football team. lol I bought 7 guppies a few days ago and now 3 are dead. I thought the first 2 had been fighting because their tail fins were destroyed but I just saw the third one dying and it was the ghost shrimp eating them. Are my male guppies fighting over the females? I...

I upgraded my moms 10g to a 15g in the living room and got some guys to replace the evil Oscar. Got some new guys in the 29g as well. 15g- 7 Guppies 2 Creamcicle Lyretails 1 Cory 29g- 2 Blue Dwarf Gourami 1 Rainbow Shark

Hat kind of paint does everyone use to paint the back of their aquarium? None of the printed wallpapers look right or real enough to me.

I decided I would remove the platys back to the 10g and get some cichlids for the 30g. My first 2 little guys are a Firemouth and a Tiger Oscar, I also have 2 angels that wont stay still for a pic.

I ust bought this thing today for my 30g tank. It was running great for a few hours and then it stopped. I had to pull the impeller out for a bit to get it running again. Is this typical of these power filters? If it is, should I go back and exchange it for a different brand?

I took advantage of Petcos $1 per gallon deal today thinking I would grab a 55g. Unfortunately they were all out and the 40g were short breeder tanks, so I got the next biggest 29g.

So I decided the 200g I found on CL would be saltwater. The problem is, I don't want one of those giant sump systems in my house. What are the advantages to having that over 2 power filters on the back of the tank?

My name is Will and I'm coming back to the hobby after 18 years or so. When I was young we had a 20 gallon aquarium with a ridiculous number of big fat goldfish in it. The water changes were a weekly tradition riddled with curses from my dad and water spilling all over. Good times. :D Anyway...
