Hi, I've been running a new planted aquarium for about 2 months. The hair algea in it got really bad so I added co2 a couple weeks ago and it almost completely disappeared. It has started to come back pretty strong. According to my glass drop checker my co2 levels are at the high end of ideal, I...

I just noticed these white spots on my blue ram, can anyone help me out with what they might be. They were not there yesterday.

I've been having issues with my nano tank, I had my fish die off, waited for the potential disease to pass, then restocked. Everyone was doing fine for a week then I had another couple die off. The water parameters, PH, nitrates, and nitrites have all been fine for every test. I change 1/2 of...

I have an 8 gallon nano tank, heavily planted, perfect water conditions, about 6 months old. I have around 15 cherry red shrimp and 3 Danio Erythromicron. The Danios are extremely timid and are always in the part of the tank that is farthest from me when I am in the room. Even when I feed them...

So I have an 8 gallon Nano, very heavily planted with some driftwood as well. I started the tank off with three Danio Erythromicron that have always been extremity shy, swimming to the opposite end of the tank from where I am at all times. I've read this is normal behavior and is not really...

I have boiled it twice but this stuff keeps coming back. Any advice? It's a 5 gallon nano planted tank.

Hi, I am looking to start a heavily planted JBJ Nano 6 gallon. I have Eco-Complete for the substrate. The tank comes with a 18 watt fluorescent 50/50 lamps with both 10K purified white daylight side by side next to our 7100K blue actinic. I don't plan to start with CO2 but I may add it later...

I just picked up a JBJ Nano 6 Gallon. I plan on keeping it heavily planted. My thinking for stocking it would be about 6 fish that are 1" or less as adults, then some cherry shrimp, some ghost shrimp and maybe some snails. For the fish I was considering a couple each of: Rasboras Neon Tetras...

So I have been running a custom sump for about a year in my 75 gal cichlid tank, it was made from a 29gal aquarium and worked like a deam. A few pieces on it were coming loose and I had the chance to get another 29 gal for free. Long story short I used silicone that was kitchen use approved and...

I made a custom sump out of an old 29 gal tank for my 75 gal African cichlid tank. It was originally going to be a refugium as well but the plants don't do well with the cichlid water conditioners I use. The filtration (mostly bioballs) works unbelievably well, the levels in my tank are pretty...

I am wondering if this 75 gallon with 29 gallon sump has enough hiding spots for 20-30 juvenile Mbuna. Thanks!

I am going to be setting up either a 75 gallon or 90 gallon chichlid tank and want to design a sump from a 29 gallon aquarium, here is my idea. I'd love any feedback, suggestions or problems you see with the design. Thanks!

Hi, I am looking to create a sump and refugium for a new 75 or 90 gallon chichlid tank. I have a pretty good idea of how to design it, I plan to use some of the media you would put in a top hanging filter (sponge, charcoal, bio media). Most designs I have seen put the filter media before the...
