Hello, My anubias has had algae on the leaves for some time now, and I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to remove it? I believe it is black bush and/or another form of algae. I am hesitant to dip the plant in bleach solution...but have seen some information on it. I have tried...

I cycled my tank with 5 neon tetras and a platinum gourami. They have always gotten along fine together - I assumed this was because they were introduced to the tank at the same time. Last week I added an Angelicus Botia - a striped/spotted loach - and all the species are peaceful - in fact...

I have had a light stock of fish in my new tank since Jan 1st (yes, 46 days) and have NOT seen nitrites yet. I averaged a 20% water change almost every day for the first month regardless of the ammonia readings. They never reached over .25. Now looking back I think many times it may have only...

I have a 26 gallon bowfront that is 21" tall, and came with 18" 8000K 15 watt T8 light. Can this light in any way support an anubias plant growing on lava rock 2" from the bottom? If not am I looking at a whole new setup, or can I get a different 18" bulb that will fit with my current hood...

Is it necessary to let the tap water sit in the bucket for a certain length of time before I transfer it to the tank? I use a digital thermometer to get the temp from the faucet within a degree of the tank, fill up the bucket, add Seachem Prime, then 2 minutes later pour into tank. Also, it...

I have a Hang on Back filter (Aqueon 30), and am wondering if I am supposed to change the filter cartridge 1x a month like the instructions say? Other advice indicates to NEVER throw the media away until it is falling apart. I understand it holds the bacteria I need...so what process should I...

I started my first tank, committing to a fish in cycle. I am on day 7 and have been monitoring ammonia multiple times daily and completing water changes as needed. I have been observing my fish closely and for the first time noticed small white bubble/salt granule spots on the fins of two of...

I am on day 4 of a fish-in cycle, ammonia levels just reaching .25 After completing a 25% water change I plugged back in the Aqueon 30 power filter and it isnt working. At this stage in the cycle, can my fish survive without the power filter running for approximately 11 hours until I can get...

I am on day 4 of a fish-in cycle, ammonia levels just starting to rise to .25 After completing a 25% water change I plugged back in the Aqueon 30 power filter and it isnt working, but its making weird noises and trying to... At this stage in the cycle, can my fish survive without the power...

Super excited! Just got my 26 gal bowfront tank kit up and running. After 2 days added a few fish, currently on day 3 and monitoring ammonia waiting for the tank to cycle. Interested in doing all the research necessary to make this a successful and happy place for my fish. A few questions I...
