I've just ordered an XP3. Does anyone know if it supplied with Bio Chem Stars?

Normally I use Prime as a dechlorinator but since I had some left over Aqua Plus I wanted to use it during the reconditioning step of my Purigen. Because Seachem warns about toxicity resulting from reconditioning with amine based dechlorinators, I decided to do some research. Unfortunately...

I have a 48 inch wide 75 g tank. Its light fixture has 2 24" T8 Aqua-Glo tubes which were bought used. I understand that these are 18000K tubes. I find the tank "dull" to say the least. I'm not sure if this is because of the age of the bulbs, the 18000K colour, or simply that I need more wattage...

What is considered to be the best type of chemical filter media? Currently I have plenty of filtration capacity, using sponge, filter wool, carbon and Bio Max media. I also have a few plants (cabomba). I may remove the charcoal and only use in future if needed. I'm looking for filter media...

I have a 75g and do weekly WC with a aqueon setup. Just before I add fresh water to the tank, I add Prime, then top it up. My concern is this: Prime will take a while to neutralize the chlorine from the fresh water. During this time, will the chlorine kill off the beneficial bacteria...

At what age to these rams reach maturity and begin mating rituals? I have a pair that have begun chasing each other around a community tank. I was wondering if this could be mating behaviour but they seem a bit small to have reached maturity. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using...

I'm looking for a low growing grass that spreads. Its for the front of my freshwater tank in the open swimming area. Any suggestions?

I have some very short plastic Betta grass planted throughout the open areas of my tank. The grass is somewhat "prickly" and I was wondering if you thought it may be unsuitable for a loaches scaleless skin?

I'm busy doing a fish-in cycle of my 70g tank with 5 Danios and 4 Tiger Barbs. At this stage, I want to begin planning a long term stocking strategy, to be implemented gradually after the cycling is complete, and need a bit of help with this. As background: a) For filtration I have a Fluval...

Hi all, So I just set up a 70g freshwater tank. After a day settling in (I added the appropriate quantity of dechlorinator, plus some salt for freshwater tanks), I decided it time to buy some hardy fish to begin the cycling process. I put in 3 Zebra Danios (they came with a second, smaller tank...
