Question I have is I have found that while my main tank cycles i was looking at zeolite for my smaller holding tank. The question I have is most of what I have found shows to be used in a canister filter. How would I use this product in a 10 gallon tank without having to get a filter that would...

@Iheartpuffers you would love the puffer fish I get to swim with in the aquarium. They are some of the most beautiful fish and when we feed them they are so cute to watch as they look like a toy submarine coming to you. They are not fast but they are easily trained. I love the little one as he...

Hello Barbra and welcome (fellow Oklahoman too) I am a new fresh water tank member but an older large aquarium for saltwater assitant to cleaning. I cant say I started the salt water nor do I do more then clean it so I cant give advice on how to operate one of those. The one I clean is 65,000...

I did go through the cycle though it took a bizare twist. I have been monitoring the ammonia levels and they dropped to zero. However there never has been any sign of nitrites and they never showed up. The tank was however heavy with nitrates. Go figure. Has this ever happened to any one?

Just curious but I have read alot on these 2 fish. I recently bought some guppies from Petsmart and really have been fighting to keep them alive (Over half have died and been replaced). According to Petsmart they classify these as hardy yet they just dont do so well. They are the only ones I am...

Ok here I am again the new guy LOL but was wondering. I got a couple of plecostomus and they just hang out in the cave all day. (Despite having them in the past and never saw one hide I recently found out they are nocturnal.) Looking for a smaller and better option I found what the pet store...

thank you every one for the warm welcome. I too am looking forward to starting my aquarium adventures at home. Now I just wish the cycle would hurry ;-( As for scuba diving I do hope you can get certified soon. It is a whole diffrent world diffrent from aquariums or anything you can imagine...

Im a little confused because some people are saying the bio wheels are quiet and others seem to make it sound like they are a harley davidson. I want the best and have considered getting one in addition to my other filter for my 40 gallon. I am new to the personal aquarium field so you guys...

Ok as my second post to the board I am just going to ask a curious question. I have read so many post online about home made sponge filters and was wondering what the general idealogy on this would be? I read these things and cursed at them just trying to make sense of how they worked but...

Well I am an avid scuba diver and fell so much in love with the underwater world I recently decided to get into the aquarium world and bring my love home when I am not fortunate enough to go to them. I am new to the small aquarium field so I am going through the new tank syndrome and well I...
