Hey all, it's been a long time since I've posted anything on the forums. Life has been getting in the way. Anyway, I have had a Milwaukee CO2 regulator for a couple years now. the problem I'm experiencing is the pressure seems to drop and my bubble count drops to 0. By pressure I don't mean the...

I have a possible problem with my filter. About once a minute I hear air hit the impeller and a moment later a large stream of bubbles comes out of the hose. I checked all my connections and the hoses for leaks and found none. Due to previous problems I keep my filter inside a 5 gallon bucket...

I have a well established 20g heavily planted community tank. The first filter I had was a Penguin 200 (I think it was the 200). The bio-wheel was having issues spinning and the water was not going through the filter housing effectively causing a lot of the water to spill back into the tank from...

So I've had this fish from day 1. I picked it up with my CPD's and at the time didn't notice it was any different. Does anyone know what it is?

My fiance says my tank needs more color, and I agree. I'm looking for red or purple plants that would grow well in a 20g with a Dutch Planted LED strip from buildmyled.com and a pressurized CO2 system. I have liquid ferts and can easily pick up root tabs, actually planning to do that next week...

I recently acquired several new plants and need to make room in my tank for the anubias. As such I am looking to sell one of my large java fern mats. I've had it for about 2 years and it has been a fantastic hiding place for my kuhli loaches and wood shrimp. I've noticed that many of the leaves...

I currently have a 4 bulb T5 setup on my 20g tank. I'm unhappy with the power consumption, and the continuing cost of this setup, as well as how fast the bulbs need replacing. So I am looking to upgrade to a LED lighting system. I've been looking around online and in a few LFS, but so far I...

I have a RCS tank that for a short while housed a dwarf puffer and bumblebee goby, during that time I had moved all the RCS to another tank so they wouldn't be eaten. Before I removed the fish and added the shrimp I looked for copepods. I originally put the fish in there to deal with the...

I have a 10g shrimp tank that is being overrun with copepods. What can I get that will eat them? I definitely don't want to add chemicals to kill them cause that might kill my shrimp too. Will kuhli loaches eat copepods? I plan on getting some for another tank and could get one for my 10...

I'm currently running a fishless cycle on my 20g and while that's going I'm looking at possible stock. I have a couple ideas, but my favorite is this: 6x Harlequin Rasboras 6x Celestial Pearl Danio 6x Kuhli Loaches 3x Amano Shrimp 4x Nerite Snails I used the AqAdvisor - Intelligent Freshwater...

So I know what every plant in my tank is but one. Can somebody help me ID this please?

I bought some nerite snails a while ago and they seemed to be doing ok for a couple days, then they just stopped moving around. They are alive cause I see them come out of their shells, but they aren't eating. After about a week of this I decided to take them out and get rid of them. I...

I found a worm in my substrate and was not able to get it out before it disappeared. I did manage to get a picture of it though. Does anyone know what it might be? It's not the best quality photo, but it was all I could do with the time I had.

***Sold Out*** I have about 30 Red Cherry Shrimp for sale. I prefer local pickups, but am willing to work something out for shipping, on your dime. I am in Orange County, CA. These little guys (and gals) are just now getting old enough to breed. I know this from the saddle I see on a...

I started my tank about 6 weeks ago and decided to go planted right from the start. The question I have is I bought some plants and the guys at the LFS don't know what they are called. I'm hoping someone here can ID them for me. Thanks in advance!

When I started my tank and was testing the water I was getting a consistent Ph reading of 7.2. Several weeks later though I am somewhere around 8.0. What can cause this, and how can I slowly lower it to approximately 7.0? About my tank... 10g Pretty heavily planted with Elodea, Red foxtail...

I'm looking to start an approximate 30g planted tank and I was wondering if there are any adverse effects to mixing Floramax and Eco Complete together, or Eco Complete and pool filter sand, or whatever. I have a 10g planted with only Eco Complete and I like the look, but I don't want my tanks...
