Hey y'all. I'm just getting back into the hobby after being out of it since 2018. I've got a CO2 tank and regulator that I used back then, but I didn't run the tank empty. So question is, should I return to where I filled it and get it refilled, or use it how it sits right now? Would the...

I can only seem to get 20 psi, but everything I've read says you should be around 35 psi, give or take. If I turn the needle valve counterclockwise to open it, the psi drops. Obviously this is my first go-around with co2 lol. What am I doing wrong? I'm using my diffuser as my bubble counter and...

Alright, so I'm 95% done with my tank stand, just have to add 2 more verticle braces to the left and then 2 cross braces on either side. But before I got to that I realized I made a mistake! I cut the top center 2x4 to exactly 18 1/4 inches. Oops! Should've been 15 1/4. My question is (since I...

Alright, now I know a lot of people are against bacteria in bottle and I am one of them. I spotted Special Blend at the LFS and the owner said they sell a lot and recommends it. Yes, they need to sell to make money. I get it. However, I bought it and figured I'd try it. If it doesn't work, I...

Does anyone know when Petsmart has their dollar per gallon sale? I've searched their site up and down, Googled for an hour and even went to two local stores. No info whatsoever. I know it's usually twice a year tops! If anyone has even the slightest bit of info, I'd appreciate it! :thumb:

20g with wooden stand and storage, 29g with metal stand. AC 50, AC 20, 150w heater, another heater which I'm not sure of the wattage, glass top for the 20g, hood and light for the 20g, 24" extendable to 30" (2x24w) t5ho Odyssea light fixture, assorted fake plants, assorted java ferns (live)...

I have a community tank that I need to take down within a few months before i move. It's a 29g high that is home to Cherry Barbs, Harlequin Rasbora's, and two peaceful Keyhole Cichlids. With the 29g high, I have a metal stand, a submersible heater(150w I believe), an AquaClear 50 filter, and a...

I have a mix of small, medium and large fake plants totaling 11 in all. I have 2 beach chairs that I used in my beach theme sand substrate Dwarf Puffer tank. All of these plants where in there as well. The pirate skull was in the same tank, too. Everything, including the 12" bubbler and Ammonia...

Has anyone had experience with this? Is it a case of "you get what you pay for?" How does it or how would you think it compares to DIY Co2 with plastic bottles? I know I'd have to buy replacement packets, but it seems like this system is essentially what I'd "make" if I did DIY Co2. What are...

Currently dosing Flourish Comprehensive once weekly after my pwc. Any advantage to using Leaf Zone with the Flourish?

I just bought a piece of Anubias on a nice piece of driftwood. Should I boil it, soak it in hot water from the tub, plop it in my tank? What's the protocol on driftwood from your lfs? :ermm: Thanks!

http://www.aquatraders.com/24-inch-2x24W-T5-Aquarium-Light-Fixture-p/52121p.htm Any comments, concerns, or any advice on this fixture before I buy it? Have any of you bought this or know of anyone who has it? It'll be going on my 29g lightly planted tank. Lightly planted for now. Planning on...

Just noticed some green algae spots. I've had brown diatoms for a long time, but I just wipe it off. There's a few Java Ferns and Lace Java Ferns, and also some Anubias. Low light tank with a T8 24" 17w bulb. Parameters: Amm- 0 Nitrites- 0 NitrAtes- 10ppm pH- looks about 8.2ish Alkalinity-...

This is my current hood. Yes, I'm quite limited, but also don't want to spend $90 on a new Coralife lol. What bulbs could I use to help my ferns and anubias? I wish I wasn't so limited :banghead: Lol! Currently, I have the 24'' T8 8700k 17w single tube that came with it.

Just added two Keyhole Cichlids to my 29g. I also added Anubias and Java Fern at the same time. My question is... When should I dose with Flourish Comp? I just did a PWC, so I was going to dose then, but added two fish after the pwc and thought otherwise on the Comprehensive. What should I do? :huh:

I get so bored with my tanks and have aquascaped this tank 3 times in a month. I think (even though it's kind of bare) I like this scape best!

What's the best way to prepare slate rock for my 29g? Anything besides just a rinse/soaking with water? Thanks!

In my 29g, I have 2 species of fish. There's 5 Harlequin Rasbora's and 5 Cherry Barbs. Also, there's 4 ghost shrimp, too. I was thinking about a Dwarf Gourami, but I looked into Kribensis and they seem like they would work. Although, I may only get one. I checked on AqAdvisor, too. Now, what are...

eat raw shrimp? I've heard they'll love it as soon as they get a taste, but HOW to get them to taste it, is the question :confused: I've tried dipping the whole shrimp in... fail. I took tweezers and took a tiny piece off and dipped it in... fail. dropped a piece in with the dropper like I do...

Got bored with my10g Dwarf Puffer tank, so I upgraded to a 20g! I also just added a bunch of clay pots to make up for the lack of fake plants. Clay pots are much more cheaper! Maybe one day I'll work up the nerve to try a planted tank ;)

The basics: 29g, AC50, sand substrate with no plants. Current stock: 5 Harlequin's and 2 Cherry Barbs. I'm adding 3 more CB's this upcoming week for sure. My question is, what else can I add? The sky is the limit, I know lol. There's tons of nice community fish out there. What I was thinking...

Looking to upgrade in the near future. Both tanks come with heater, full hood with light, decor, gravel/sand (if needed), AC50(29g), AC20(10g), air pump and tubing. I have a piece of fake plastic driftwood for the 29g that I just dropped in there about a month ago. Both tanks are less than 6...

My current 24" bulb helps algae grow... A lot! Haha. I've looked online for a whole new fixture, but everything is quite steep in price. Does anyone know of a good 30" fixture with good lighting? There has to be something that will grow plants on the lower end for price. One day I'll be able...

Currently have 6 Harlequin Rasbora, 2 Cherry Barb and 2 Ghost Shrimp. What would go good with these two kinds of fish and not eat my shrimp? Lol. I wanted kissing gourami's, but the compatibility chart I looked at says Rasbora and Gourami don't get along. Don't really want white cloud or danios.

Kinda got fed up with how nasty gravel can get. Made a little sand island for my fake driftwood lol :)
