I've got a 37 gal tank sitting in my garage and have decided to try a FOWLR tank. I'm wondering what it is that I'll need to get this up and running so I can budget appropriately. I've "heard" that you could operate this with a HOB and doing partial changes would be a basic set up but am...

So I've finally got all the parts to do CO2 in my 55 gallon. Have a fluval filter, but am not going to do inline. I'm wondering where the best placement for the diffuser would be? My initial thought is below the outlet tube, OR to get a circ pump and put it below that. Your thoughts ??

Atomic CO2 Diffuser 50mm | Green Leaf Aquariums While I was looking at a couple of others this ones rate and performance seem to be pretty good. Unfortunately, I'll be new to the pressurized CO2 world so I was hoping to get some input. Thanks !

I have an Odyssea light set up ( 4 bulb ) that came with 2 10,000K lights. Would replacing them with 2 6500K lights be better for growing plants, along with a couple of floramax style bulbs ?? It sits on top a 55 gal but I'm only running two lights at the moment ( a 10,000K and a plant bulb).

I resolve to get the rest of the equipment needed to do CO2 in my 55 Gal, and to make a better environment for my 75Gal Cichlid tank.

Ok...so I saw one ( actually 6) in Portland last night and thought " that would be cool " although I know I can't have any small fish in the tank with it unless they want to be food. I do have a 30 gal, heavily planted tank, with one fairly large betta in it. I'm just wondering if anyone has...

Except I have one problem. I've never had this happen so I'm at a total loss for what to do !! I got him/her/it out with some tank water from where it was ( I was cleaning anyhow) but now it's in a little 3-5 gallon plastic holding tank. I did put some daphnia in there for it to eat, but...

This is pretty good...girl friend says a tank would look nice in our bedroom about 2 months ago. I took this as a green light to get another so I got my hands on a 75 gal flat back, hexagon jewel tank that was complete with stand and everything but a filter. SO...today....UPS box with my...

Upon examining my tank this morning I found that one of my glo-fish in my sons tank had died. I did a routine check of all my other fish and the only one that seemed / looked different was my bushy nose pleco. Water is @ 7.7 PH ( we run high here ), 0 amonia, 0 nitrites and >2 Nitrate. Temp is...

So I thought I'd try to circumvent paying for plants in the long run and am wondering what i would need to have a plant only tank other than a really good lighting system, air circulation and fertilizer.

So this morning my fiance came and told me the following : " I don't know why I'm telling you this but Petco is having a $1 per gallon sale." Me: " Yeah I heard "something" about that. ;) They'll make up all the money they lose on the tank through sales on fixtures and supplies. Her: " Makes...

So, I figure I cannot possibly be the only one in the US with Juwel tank and lighting. I picked up a 75 gal flat black hex tank that was complete from the factory. If you're not familiar with their lighting it leaves something to be desired BUT someone had already redone the ballasts so...

My Gold Nugget Pleco ! His name is Yukon ;)

Ok...well this is the first time I've wanted to actually show these off. The first is my $ 75.00 CL find. A 40 long with stand. it was pretty unattractive when I got it but what did I know then? ( it was my first tank in 20 years ) BEFORE...

This morning I awoke to find one of my swordtails had died. Upon inspection I notice that 3 of the other females had white, bloated belly and had a very hard time swimming and were hiding in my plants and where t would be hard to get to them. Now, I'll admit, I've never seen a pregnant fish (...

I'll be setting up a 29 gal in a couple of weeks but I have a used Rena that I'm going to incorporate into it. Wondering...Other than completely changing the input / output lines how should I go about cleaning it ? It's been dry now for at least a month. I was thinking a water / vinegar...

So...I have a 40 gal running well for two months in it are 10 pristella, 6 swordtails, an upside down catfish, 2 paradise fish, and a gold nugget pleco. parameters are all good as of 2 days ago PH @ 7.6 Temp at 78* Noticed this morning that one of my female swordtails has a small, white bump...

And am wondering if I use my older media from my HOB do I need to worry about anything OR, would it be better to run both the canister and the HOB?

Wondering if you guys think this would work as a powerhead. Need to create some circulation in a 40 gl. Eheim Compact Pump

tank is 4' long and I'd like to get a mellow powerhead for it. I've got a some small pristellas and a couple of paradise fish and don't want to blow them out with too much force but give them some "exercise" and I'm not really sure what size / kind to get.

Saw this today and didn't know if anyone would be able to give this little guy a new place to live. :fish2: But I'm hoping ! Free Plecostomus algae eater fish

Wondering if this would be good for a 40gal long, lightly planted tank. Odyssea T5 Aquarium Lighting Looking to replace conventional hood style as mine is old, Jerry rigged ( apologizes to Jerry ) and basically a POS. Suggestions on cost effective alternatives welcome.

My gut says it is even if I store it in the garage until I'm ready to play with it. Fish Tank 50 gl. w/everything except Fish

Wondering who likes what. I'm stuck between Rena and Fluval just not sure which way to go and I do see quite a few knock offs and wonder if those are any good.

Have two small paradise fish that get along well and was wondering what size school would be workable if tetras were added into the mix ? I was thinking 6 in a 40 gal since all I have right now are the 2 paradise and my GN Pleco in there.
