    Missing something ?

    Plants have been doing great till the last few weeks. No major tank changes though. Seeing dark spots on the sword leaves, dark and curling leaves on some crypts. Pics attached. First planted tank so not a lot of experience to draw on

    Nerite snail eggs

    so got a couple of zebras for the tank and now I have the eggs. I know they won't survive in fresh water. The question I wasn't sure about is will they hatch and go away ? Or do I need to scrape them off ? Thanks :)

    Circulation on a 55g

    So without the HOB filter on the tank and just the i/o from the canister, wondering if I should add a small power head to keep the water moving around the whole tank. Pictures were hard with the lighting in the room today so did some quick sketches with the Paper app. The yellow box on the...

    Fluval 406 noise

    Finally removed the AC70 and just running the tank with the 406 now. However, and this may be my expectations, I was expecting it to be just a bit quieter than it is. There isn't any bubble sound or air noise but def a noise (ticking) of the pump. It's soo much quieter than the HOB that I am...

    Fluval 406 on 55g

    I setup my 55g with a single Aquaclear 70 (cash flow issue) knowing that I would soon need to add another HOB or canister. I should be getting my Fluval 406 from Amazon on Tuesday. Question is: is the 406 enough filtration on the 55g or do I need to keep the AC70 as well. I will keep the...

    newish 55g

    Been starting this tank up over the last few months. Aside from the current ich problem I have been slowing stocking and adding plants. Still need to do something with the front left area as far as plants, rocks or a small piece of driftwood. Comments suggestions welcomed :)

    adding canister to a 55g

    knowing that I need to add more filer than the current AC70 I am thinking of adding a canister. Should I get just enough to compliment the AC ? Or go big and just go canister only ?

    "Moonlights" or dark

    a bit if retail therapy led me to pick up a marineland blue/white hidden led setup. Can be in tank even submerged if wanted. Right now it's slipped onto the inside of the back frame. Question is: should I just switch it on and off as I want or was thinking of setting it to blue only and then...

    Aqueon heater guide off

    I bought an 300w Aqueon heater for my 55g, and a cheapo thermometer. As the water came up to temp, i I noticed that setting the heater around 72 showed on the thermometer around 78, and so on. I figured it was the cheap thermometer, so just put in a Corallife digital and it matches up to the...

    Testing for leaks

    I filled up my CL find with water this weekend. How long should I keep it filled to be considered safe / leak free? Also where could I buy a new bottom frame (found a small crack on one side)
