Hello, A friend of mine, who has lots of experience in reef tanks, gave me his tank yesterday and helped me set it up. I have intermediate experience myself. We used play sand that we cleaned real good and rock that I assume was dead since it was dried out. It still had color though. Anyway, we...

I started a nano sw tank. 10 gallons. I put aragonite for the substrate. And I'm getting live rock next week. I went for the ammonia method for the cycle. And the ammonia levels have been at 4 ppm for 2 days now. Nitrate-0 Nitrite-0. Is this normal? Or should I do a PWC? Or is it because the...

I'm starting a small tank and currently I have no substrate in it. I like the way live sand looks so that's what's going in. I was wondering, will the live organisms dying help the tank cycle?

I want to start a plant only tank. The tank itself will be 20 gallons. It'll be my first time keeping plants so I want to start off with some that'll be easy to care for. Any suggestions on species? Also what kind of light will I need?

Hey guys. I tried feeding my cichlids dried shrimp and frozen bloodworms. But since they like the bottom of the tank, they won't really go up top to eat the floating food. Any ideas on how to keep it at the bottom?

Hey guys. Ive been delayed with starting a reef aquarium and now I'm able to do it. I've got an empty 10g and a power head. I plan on making it all natural so the live rock and sand bed will be the filter. The only animals will be a couple shrimp and crabs. My question is, how long do I let it...

Okay guys, I've built a 100 gallon freshwater aquarium. Now I've got an empty 20 gallon that I want to use for a nano starter reef tank. I've done a lot of research in the past couple months. The only thing I'm having difficulty I'm deciding about is a filtration system. I'm thinking about going...

Okay so in my aquarium, I have a acei cichlid, yellow lab, jewel and a red tailed shark (I have no problems with them together). I'm in the process of building a 100g, so I had to stick them in a 20g until I'm done. I just got the jewel a few days ago. It won't come out of hiding! I've never had...

I want to make rock decorations for my aquarium. Is there anyway to make an aquarium safe adhesive?

Hey guys, I have a friend who might have a problem. So I told him I'd ask you guys for help. He has a red tailed shark, but his tail is white. Sometimes it has a red tint but sometimes not. His body is black though. More like a graphite pencil, idk if that explains it well. He says he feeds it...

So I have a ten gallon tank and I want to move to a 40 gallon. If I take the filter from the 10 and put it on the 40, along with the new filter, will it help the tank cycle faster?

Alright guys so I got the freshwater thing down, its pretty simple. Now I want to get into saltwater reef aquarium. I was researching ways to cycle the tank, and a way I want to try is with the cocktail shrimp. If I do that, the rock in the tank, does it have to be cured or not?

Hey guys, my tank needs a water change and I'm out of conditioner for 3 days. Is there a way to do this without the conditioner?

Okay I'm pretty new to the whole aquarium thing. Currently I have a ten gallon with 3 tiger barb. Will it be okay if I added 2 more and a red tail shark? Or will that be too crowded?
