So I got my boyfriend a 210 gallon aquarium for graduation, and he moved his current saltwater setup into it. I took over his old 75 gallon and moved my planted 55 gallon tank into it. Now I have an empty 55 gallon and I'm not sure what to do with it. We've talked about making it a ciclid or a...

Hi all, I'm upgrading my boyfriend's 75g to a 125g and taking his old 75 gallon. I currently have a fully planted 55g with pressurized CO2, although I'm using a ceramic diffuser in the tank to diffuse CO2. I'm also currently using two marineland emperor 400's as filters I'd like some...

So I finally got my injection going, I've got a paintball 24oz canister pumping 2bps into a 20 gallon tank. However, I was wondering how much psi that it should be filled too? I thought it was ~3000psi, but when I got home from Dick's, the regulator read ~800psi. Am I mistaken, or is Dick's...

Hi All, I've had this catfish for eons, his (her?) name is Zane. Can anyone tell me what type of catfish he/she is? Zane has been with my since my first tank about 4 or 5 years ago. Attaching both video and photo. He's a bit too active to be photographed so the video is probably best.

So I got my tax return money and I've finally done what I've been planning on doing for a while. I've bought a 20G aquarium (standard, not long), bought a quad light fixture for it (4.8 W/g of T5-HO plant lights) and am about to set it up as a dedicated plant/dwarf puffer tank. I also put in 40...

So I'm going to be setting up a 20 gallon tank soon that's going to be primarily for growing plants. It's going to be heavily planted with high lighting, all the goodies for plants. The fish are not the primary purpose of this tank. However, I'd like to keep some in it, at least. At the very...

Hi everyone, I was given a Coral Life light fixture by someone because it wasn't working for them. I know a little bit about electronics and have went through the steps to identify the ballast as most likely the cause of the light failure (ballast get power, no output). The system has 2...

So about a week ago, I had a friend help me move my 55 gallon fish tank, and when we got it all set back up, we some how managed to not plug in the heater. A couple days after that, I noticed my clown loaches looking unhealthy, and I tested the water and everything was fine. Nitrates were a bit...

I recently had an issue with a heater and it killed off almost everyone in my tank :-\ The only fish I have left is a ropefish (reedfish) and a black ghost knifefish. I was considering stocking my tank with the Electric Yellow Lab and maybe some Pseudotropheus Acei. Will they cause issues...

I've got three juvinile bala shark in a 55 gallon tank (soon upgrading to 120 with tax refund!), and the two older bala sharks have lost their luster, and one has developed red fins and a red underbelly. Any idea what's going on? 1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe...

I am thinking about purchasing a new tank, somewhere between 100-150 gallons. I need a bigger home for my balas and clown loaches. How can I select a proper canister filter? I'm looking at the Reaction 4-stage canister filter, and it says it's 250 gph canister can support a 150 gallon tank...

Hi Guys For the past two or three weeks my black moor has been sitting on the bottom of the tank except during feedings and water changes. He doesn't look ill, but is there something going on I can't see? He's had swim bladder problems in the past, but that caused him to float strangely, I...

I have a cycled 55 gallon tank that's been running for almost six months. I am about to get a new fish, so I am re-establishing my QT tank. It was broken down and bleached last week. It's now up and running, new filter, new gravel, nice sparkling clean. I have 4-6 cups of gravel from the 55...

I have a quarantine tank that is cycled setup that all my fish go to that I buy. However, I got a bad batch of clown loaches from Pet Smart and am concerned they might have left something behind in the tank. I bought two healthy looking clown loaches from pet smart on Wednesday. I left floated...

I recently purchased 5 clown loaches to make a school in my tank. I left them in my quarantine tank for a week and then moved them to the big tank. They've been in the big tank two or three weeks now, and they all seemed happy. However, when I got home today, I saw one was floating sideways or...

I just got my new 55 gallon tank setup and I was wondering what types of plants, and how many I could put into the tank before I needed to do CO2 injection?

Hello Everyone! I just upgraded to a 55 gallon tank and it's finished cycling so it's time to start stocking it (after a stay in the quarantine tank of course). However I'm not really sure what I should stock it with. I like big fish with lots of color, schools of smaller fish are nice too, but...

About three months ago, our pleco died, and we never replaced him until recently. Two weeks ago, we bought a pleco that was on sale at the local pet smart, and it died two days later. We bought a new one the next day with advice from the lady at the store who helped us pick out a healthy pleco...
