    Best way to resurface the substrate?

    It is a 37 gallon tank, so total height on 22inches i believe. The current substrate is 2-3" (2inches of whatever i put down at the time, followed by 1" of sand above). It varies depending on where, as it seems the starlight bristlenose pleco dug up pockets, and im sure the panda corys didnt...

    Best way to resurface the substrate?

    My tank had a bottom inch of gravel followed by an inch of sand above it. Cory catfish, a bristlenose, and several cleanings later and now the dark gravel is intermixed with the yellow sand and makes the bottom of the tank look awful and dirty. I have some plants rooted currently as well, and a...

    37g Stocking Ideas

    Well, I'm in class right now (medical school), but I turned on the lights this morning. To my surprise my glass is fully clean. Little Guy cleaned all the algae over night. He does have tiny spots but no white on his/her tail fin. Just two white greyish shades on the corners. Maybe he's not...

    37g Stocking Ideas

    I didnt get a chance to get a close look at it when I was acclimating it in a bucket, but it kind of just looked like a normal bristlenose. From the online pictures starlights appeared solid black with white polkadots and a white stripe on the tail, but I didn't really see that on this one...

    37g Stocking Ideas

    Maybe 1/5th or 1/6th of a fin surface area. More the size of rock salt if Ich is compared to normal salt.

    37g Stocking Ideas

    From what I saw online, Ich looks more like salt granules that are fairly uniform and speckled all over. These are less granule and have uneven borders. Not sure how to describe it. Ill try raising temp slowly to 87.

    37g Stocking Ideas

    I love the way those Norman lamp eye look. Having trouble finding them online though. Can't seem to find one of my black neons. I think the cichlids may have eaten him? Or he's floating at the bottom of the tank hidden behind some plants. Not sure what to do. Also two of my pandas have little...

    37g Stocking Ideas

    I can explain it for you. Dw is driftwood, wood that is placed inside your tank that sinks to the bottom. This specific wood is required by some plecos as they suck on it to get some fiber and nutrients as part of their diet, they also like it because it's reminiscent of their environment...

    New Tank (currently cycling) - Stocking and Other Qs

    How much nitrate load would plants be able to absorb? My cycle might be complete soon, but my Nitrates arent really going above 20ppm ish. Seems like Ammonia is just disappearing. This is how many plants I have,

    37g Stocking Ideas

    No specific preference. I'd hope for one or two schools, some kind of top dweller maybe that wouldn't be hurt by light. Some bottom dwellers that would work well with a pleco. Prefer longer bristle catfish if thats an option. Any types of cichlids that can coexist in a community tank and at...

    New Tank (currently cycling) - Stocking and Other Qs

    Well, the order from Angels Plus came. Got some driftwood for future bristlenose, a 4inch active sponge, and some Hornwort. Cut up the sponge into smaller pieces and put it into both hob filters as well as drained the bag water into tank. Could see deposits in the water and on the filter, so...

    New Tank (currently cycling) - Stocking and Other Qs

    Ordered one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BJP4YC as im worried about my plants. Realized that following the rough 2-3watts per gallon rule, my simple 20watt 30inch light and hood were quite inadequate to grow anything in this 37g. Seems like a great fixture for the price. Also...

    Have you actually used that website? I assume you meant Aquarium Supplies, Pet Supplies and Pond Supplies by That Fish Place - That Pet Place , as thats the site that works while your link doesn't. They do seem to have a ton of various fish. Curious what other's experience is.
