So I've been using plastic plants and traditional gravel for years. Got inspired and was trying my hand at planted tank with rock hardscapes. Well, my hand fell off or something because it is pitiful. I don't think I have the creative ability to actually set it up. I have a 15 gallon AIO...

Long story to get to the NH4. Tank up for 2 years and all well. Bought a fish that gave tank columnaris, learned lesson to quarantine. Treated tank. After meds I did a 100% water changed and switched to RO (with replenish and neutral regulator) ammonia on API test has been a steady .5ppm...

Lost my bioload after medicating for columnaris. 5 community fish in a 15 gallon left. yesterday i had .5ppm ammonia, zero nitrites and zero nitrates. ran out and bought Fluval biological booster and added last night. tonight my readings are .5ppm ammonia, zero nitrites and 5.00 nitrates...

UGH!!!! Having so much trouble with fish keeping. I've been keeping fish on and off for like 20 years and never had this trouble. Fish got sick and treated tank with Furan-2 and Kanaplex. (they had columnaris) saved a few fish and things looked good. Ordered some Rams and they arrived...

Two tanks involved as I started the second tank off of the first tanks filter media. First death was about 3 weeks ago. My German Ram. No noticed symptoms. Two days later my other german ram and two male guppies died with no noticed symptoms proceeding death. So. I had been cycling a...

Hello. I am just getting back into the hobby after many many years. I have had a betta for about 6 months now and recently decided to move him from his 5 gallon to a 10 gallon AIO (Aqua Japan AJ-45) and try out a few other fish with him. So I used the gravel from the tank he'd been in and...

I just got new silk plants today and thought I'd share a pic :)

What silk plants do you think are the best? I'm looking for the most natural looking ones (of course) I ordered 4 sizes of SeaGarden's Curly Crispus today and would like a couple different varieties to go with them

Just have to thank BillyZ for his post about eradicating cyanobacteria. I had no idea what I thought I was battling wasn't algae until reading his post. I've had it for over a year and was pulling my hair out. I'd clean out the tank and the next day it would be full of green slime again...

Ok. I've been fighting what I thought was a algae problem. biweekly water changes, no ammonia, nitrites.... Yesterday i did a 30% water change and gravel vacuum and today there are spots of green slime on the gravel already! After a bit of research I'm thinking it's cyano!! What do you...

I'm thinking of getting rid of my undergravel filter (well, removing the tubes and not using it anyway...it would be WAY too big of a project to actually remove the filter plates) Anyway, reason is I am having terrible algae growth on the gravel and I suspect it the ugf causing it. I JUST...

Is there an algae eater that is more prone to eat the algae off gravel than others? My otos and pleco eat it off glass and big rocks, but the gravel gets a thick carpet and no one touches it :(

I looove Blushing White Skirt Tetras. I haven't seen them in stores for a few years, but have been wanting them for some time now. Before I ask my local store to try and order some, I want to make sure they're not dyed. They're not, are they? The pink in their cheeks and black eyes is...

I rearranged my tank for the first time in years today! I always keep it the same, but thought I'd change it a bit. I added more rocks and rearranged the ones I have. The tanks still a bit cloudy since I just cleaned it, but you get the general idea :)
