Recently I purchased a used Api Rena Filstar XP 4 - XL. The seller threw in a bunch of media to include a PURA filtration pad (it is big as a door mat). I'm not familiar with cut to fit products, but now I'm interested. Most of what I could find on this product was from Marine Hobbyist. Is...

Recently purchased an acrylic 48x24x24 tank. I'd like to eventually house coral and fish. I will preface my post with the fact that I have never installed a sump and this is my first salt endeavor, so keep that in mind... As you can see it's drilled in the center and has threads tapped...

I'm thinking about salt (have never done salt before) and found a 125 Gallon Drilled Acrylic Tank with round front corners and lids - nothing else - for $100.00 The tank has a few scratches, but mainly scuffs, quite a few scuffs - it's a used acylic tank... It's a 48 x 24 x 24 I've never...

Have an air pump driven deep blue sponge filter in a 10 gallon fry tank. The fry are 1 week old and free swimming. After watching a couple of fry get tossed around when they neared the output tube of the sponge filter I added a valve to the air line to regulate the air pressure running...

My pair spawned and I have fry not yet in the free swimming stage although the female has them out leading them around. I saw them for the first time 4 days ago. They are in a 10 Gallon set up. It's obvious she does not want the male near the fry and at times has been quite aggressive in...

Another ID need. In the following video there is an all white with yellow fin fish - what is it? THANKS!

Apistogramma Which One? I have an opportunity to purchase a pair of the following species: Apistogramma Baenschi Inka 50 Apistogramma Cactuoides Double Red Agassizi: I would like to add them to my 29 gallon which currently contains Rummies and Espei's. Which species would you select...

Working on setting up a male Peacock 55 Gallon tank and plan to start out with 4 - 2.5" inch fish. I have an empty 10 gallon tank - is 10 gallons big enough to quarantine the Peacock's?

55 Gallon - FW - Fishless Cycle with Ammonia Started cycle 02-04-12 dosing with ammonia to 4.0 Today's readings: AMMONIA - 4.0 NITRITES - 5.0 (somewhere from 2.0 to 5.0 hard to tell difference) for sure it's the deep purple 2.0 -5.0 NITRATES - 40.0 - 80.0 I just can't tell the...

After a tank has cycled, how long should one wait before cleaning the HOB sponge filter for the first time? The concern is disturbing a new cycle too soon and setting off an issue.

I want to set up a 10 gallon quarantine tank and have questions on cycling same. My main tank is young, having only completed the cycle 4 weeks ago. Two weeks ago I won a battle over Ich. I'd like to grab some media from my main tank to jumpstart the cycle in my quarantine, but I'm a...

Profiles indicate peaceful community fish... You tube videos and forum feeds suggest freshwater terrors. Your experiences with this species please.

I'm coming off the back end of ICH treatment which included in part taking my water temperature, and holding same, to 86 F. Since increasing the water temp my fish are eating and growing like pigs! I watched my Rasbora Espei spawning over a cup of morning coffee yesterday. Could this...

Dealing with a case of Ick so I went to increase my water temperature, but found my old heater (150W) would not get the water warmer than 79 F. So I replaced it with an Aqueon (150W) turned it on to 85 F and waited for 24 hours. It too would not get the water to the desired 85 F even after...

I would like to add a scavenger to my 29 Gallon FW planted tank. Initially I was thinking about a Bristlenose Pleco, but what bothered me the most was that they can reach 5+ inches in length. I don't really want a fish that big in my tank..... In another thread it was suggested I consider...

Just completed my fishless cycle, I added my first fish this weekend with drip acclimation. Yesterday I spent all after noon sitting on a bucket in front of my tank observing and enjoying the fish as they become acclimated to their new home - it was an awesome weekend! Here's what I added...

Wanting to try and balance my aqaurium stocking by adding fish that live in different levels of the tank. Are there any charts or sites (similiar to a compatiability chart) that list this information for Freshwater species?

Have encountered a PH DROP in todays readings and would ask for advice - is it time to change the water? Here are my latest parameters - Oct 18 PH (8.0) - Amm (4.0) - Nitrites (2.0) - Nitrates (40) Oct 19 PH (8.0) - Amm (.25) - Nitrites (5.0) - Nitrates (40) Dosed tank with 4ml of ammonia...

It appears (hopefully) that I am on the last phase of my cycle for my 29 gallon planted feshwater tank and now I am beginning to think harder, more seriously, on my stocking. I love Kribensis, they appear to be available in my area, my water parameters appear to fit their need and they appear...

Aquaclear 50 HOB in a planted 29 Gallon FW Tank. My intake seems to be gathering plant particles and recently I noticed at my LFS a sponge type pre-filter (don't recall who made it) that you slip over the tube intake to eliminate small fry and debris from being sucked into your filter...

I have an Aqua Clear 50 HOB filter for my 29 gallon freshwater, moderatley(sp?) planted aqaurium which I am currently fishless cycling. The filter came with 2 intake tubes (a single and an extension); I currently have the single intake tube on the filter. I have an anacharis(sp?) plant in...

I am trying to fishless cycle my 29 Gallon Freshwater Tank and after reading multiple outstanding threads on AA I have two questions as follows: How much ammonia should I add to my 29 Gallon to achieve the desired 4.0ppm ammonia. Is it a teaspoon, a tablespoon, a capful, an ounce? What's...

Over filtering? UGF & HOB? I recently purchased a recycled 29 gallon which included an UGF setup with two powerheads. One of the power heads is an Aquaclear 402 (50), the other is a Profile 601. From my research, the Aquaclear 402 appears to be a very stout powerhead. The Profile appears to...
