    background choice

    I have wanted a mirror background for my tank for a long while. So I ordered Oceanvision mirrored background. I think it might have been a better (actually much better) idea to have done this when the tank was completely empty..but anyway.... I followed all the instructions and am really...

    cookies and cream

    I love the black sand in my shrimp tank so much that I decided to use black sand in my 35 hex tank..but I also added some white sand in the front thinking the contrast would look cool with plants and my khuli loaches..Well now the tank looks like cookies and cream..It's virtually impossible to...

    Beasty Boys have a new home

    So I rehomed my large Yellow Labs and now have an empty 35 hex. I love the black sand in my 10 gallon shrimp tank so I will start with black sand, some plants and after the tank cycles, two GBRs...I'd appreciate any suggestions for tankmates. :)

    unbelievable amount of string algae

    We have had such an unusual winter in the north east this year, I only used my pond heater once..I thought I might get a nice head start on cleaning my pond today and discovered string algae so thick that even the frogs had a hard time getting through it. It is not only on the top of the pond...

    Grrrr..heaters that are preset!!

    I am trying to make a hospital tank for my GBR but the small tank that I have has a pre-set heater...so I can't raise the temperature. It seems that the heaters for small tanks don't allow for increases in the temperature. If I just add another of these, I will have the same result..:confused:

    strange eye issue with GBR

    First, my tank is a 30 gal ..very well planted, all parameters are good and I do water changes every 4 days (25 to 50%). Use well water and RO to get pH about 6.8. There are 2 GBRs, 4 cories and 5 black phantom tetras and a few crystal shrimp and Cherry red shrimp that I haven't been able to...

    Black Phantom Tetra..with an attitude

    My 30 bowfront was doing great until today. I have 4 Corries, 6 Black Phantom Tetras and two German Blue Rams and the tank is planted. I noticed that one of the Tetras is terrorizing everyone else that swims mid level. So the corries are ok, but it has shredded the fins on another Black Phantom...

    the perfect freshwater shrimp tank

    Worried that my shrimp might become snacks for my Blue Rams, I have started a 10 gallon tank. I would like to make it as perfect for these little fellows as I can. I am thinking I will also need a couple of fish..maybe corys to keep things clean. I set the tank up with black sand, driftwood...

    Tank repair , is it worth it?

    Very stupidly, I left a tank on my back deck after I cleaned it out. :( It got a small amount of rain water in it and I guess it froze and cracked the bottom. It is an odd shaped tank (18 gallon, pentagon tank). Kind of strange since I have left tanks outside before and they were fine..and we...

    Kuhli loaches and shrimp?

    Just wondering if Kuhli Loaches and Cherry Red Shrimp would be compatible tank mates in a planted 30 gallon tank ? I have two shrimp and would like to get two more and maybe some loaches..if they can coexist. Thanks for any suggestions

    Ph problems

    I have a new 30 bow front tank that has been filtering with only my plants for about a week now. I use my well water to fill the tank because it comes out at about 6.8. When I checked the Ph of the tank 2 days after the fill, it was 7.6. I removed 1/2 of the water and refilled the tank with well...

I found this forum because I was searching for a good way to remove all the tape residue from my glass without using solvents. The magic eraser, suggested...
