I just bough an old tank probable about as old as me 25 years old. The rim is pretty much shot in terms of cracked and i can lift the entire thing off in one piece. I'm currently in the process of resealing it. The bottom silicone is still in great shape but I have removed all the vertical...

I was wondering if a maxi jet 900 would be sufficient to use as a pump for that pumpless canister? Getting both for $40 is it worth it?

I'm wanting to get rid of my HOBs on a 40B which has a whisper 40, rena smartfilter 55 and an aquaclear70. Heavily planted and overstocked I will be buying two of them if the CFS is a good filter. I didn't notice but does this use trays or just sponges like the larger versions? I'm looking at...

Is this a suitable array? I'm doing this because my fixture had a six led moonlight but it fell into the tank and the only thing broken was the moonlights for whatever reason however the leds are good as I've wired them up for testing. I was planning either 12 or 24 led array but I figure 12 is...

I've noticed a few of my shrimp looking like this: I'm not sure what is going on with it, do they go cloudy before a molt? I've only seen a few in quite a while. I've noticed the shrimp will gain textures and coloring matching the substrate I assume to help camouflage.

Ok so yesterday there was not nearly this much of whatever this is in my tank. I'm at my wits end with this crap, my water parameters are great, I have high light ~200 watts t5ho 6700k on my 40g breeder but lots of plants and daily ferts plus do 75% WC each week. How can i get rid of it...

Ok, so I have a half used 5lb c02 tank with regulator and drop check to see when its empty for my quad tap kegerator and since I have no more beer for right now I wanted to convert it for my fish tank. I think DIY co2 is just too inconsistent and causing tons of unwanted algae. It has a 1/4" ID...

Looking for the proper parameters for my planted tank. I just tested the tank Nitrate:0 Nitrite:0 Ammonia: 0.0-0.25 Ph: 7.6-8.0 I just notice there is ammonia, I'm running a whisper 40, Rena smart filter 55, and a aqua clear 70. All in a 40B, it is fairy over stocked but with the filtration...

So I setup my rcs tank last night using cycled tank water and also added my first sponge filter. My question is can I add media to the uplift tube? I took some ceramic beads that are in one of my filters that has bio on it and dropped around 10 in my uplift tube. Since it's anaerobic bacteria...

I've been trying to find a suitable filter for my 10 rcs tank and being on the cheap side I bought a cascade 400, I find it way to powerful fit a small tank so I'm going to use my 300 that's in my snail tank. Do you guys think it will be a safe filter for an rcs only tank for breeding and keeping?

I have been wanting to remove the rim off of my 40 gallon breeder tank for some time now. I've done this easily on a 5, 10, and 20 gallon tank, however this on is a heavily planted community tank. So my question is, can I remove the top rim piece without hurting the tank or the fish? Would it...

Ok, so I just was doing a water change in my 10gallon planted assassin snail breeding tank and noticed these white slugs on the glass. My question is really when I was siphoning I used my mouth on the tube and some of the water got in my mouth. I spit it out immediately but now being a...

I'm not looking for the fancy fires or anything just standard reds. I'm in the market for 50-100 of them for a snail/shrimp tank I want to setup. If you have some you'd like to sell pm me a price and some pics.

Ok what do I do :) Do I mist them or leave them alone? I have three clutches of them.

I'm curious is it worth getting rid of fluorite for something like sand or gravel? my bottom dwellers and snails constantly stir up the fluorite dust and makes me need to do constant filter cleanings. I have a dirt test tank that is thriving.it's just 2 inches of miracle grow organic and an...

My tank has come a long way from where I started So I thought I'd share my heavily planted tank with everyone to see what you all think. I've been struggling with what I think is BBA the long brown tubular hair algae. Though with phoslock it seems to be killing it off pretty well. Though...

I just looked in my tank before bed and counted about 20 fry. I thought they were guppies but she had not let hers out. I have 4 zebra danios , 24 neon tetras and one guppy. These babies are about 5-7mm long and white/transparent. Not sure if I can get photos I'll try some macro shots in the...

First time trying shots in a fish tank. Here are some of my apple snail and armored horned snail. Using my D5100 w/ Tokina AT-X Pro macro. I dont know how people photograph fish I can manage most anything but not tanks. Apples snails mouths are creepy. Snails

I've looked everywhere online but can find what snail this is. I find tons of tubular snails but none with spikes. Thanks in advanced. Oh it's huge too nearly 2"

My baby tears are finally shooting new growth only after a few days.however, I've got green algae growing in then now. I have three oto cats but there is quite a bit of algae elsewhere that keeps them occupied. Question is, should I get three more cats, or is there another solution? It's it safe...

I just bought the Macro Micro Nutrient Mix 1 lb contains 1 equal part each of Potassium Nitrate, Potassium Sulfate, Magnesium Sulfate, Plantex CSM+B from aquariumfertilizer.com and ive been reading that you can just does it once a week. Basically is it safe to dose it all at once or is it...

This little guy was in the feeder guppy tank at my LFS and they didnt know what it was and it only cost 20 cents so I got it. I was wondering if any of you might know what it is?

I've been to every garden supply store, big chain places and local nurseries and can not find the osmocote plus. I have found indoor and outdoor version as well as fruits and veggies version. Can I use either of these or is the a more assessable alternative brand?

Ok so I've been following this tutorial. Cheap and Easy DIY aquarium filter - YouTube My question is where do I get a pump and what type of pump? My tank is a 40 gallon breeder that will be heavily planted and I only have two hobs but can not afford a nice canister filter. However, every sump...

I noticed this forest green coloration on some of my plants. It seems to spread when it's in physical contact with another plant. I can't really tell if its an algae or some other growth.
