    Broken canister filter? New one? What kind?

    I have a Rena xp-3 that I've had about 7 years. Never one problem. Yesterday it leaked and I didn't notice till the water had come through the ceiling downstairs :( so I took it apart, cleaned it, put back together. Plugged in and it was leaking out of the where the electric Cord goes into...

    Surface agitation

    I am looking for a nice agitation system for my tank. I have seen the Eheim and the Fluval that connect into my canister filter. I don't really like that idea. I am using a power head plus the wand for agitation but it doesn't seem like enough. Since my light has been fixed and I've been...

    I need plant help, please

    Yes I'm happy I bucked up. That and the nice light. I had gravel and my light but it didn't seem to matter. Then once I got co2 my plants got better but I still had gravel so I changed it to a dirted tank sand topper. Starting doing some under gravel fertilizer besides the liquid. I was...

    Just dirted my tank!

    I did this exact same thing in December. When I did it I had been competing with an old Under ground filter (Ugf) for 3 years so I finally pulled it and all my gravel. I did have my tank water only 1/2 full when I added the ADA Amazonia soil. I can't even remember when I added more water...

    I need plant help, please

    Carpets are really tough without great light and even then it can be very finicky. I've had great luck with clover as a ground cover. My tank is high light.

    Blackbeard, driftwood, wood, java fern

    I run my lights 5 maybe 6 hours a day. I talked with my LFS they said the algae spores could be living under my root system on the wood and anytime I would get prefect conditions I would get a bloom. So I ended up pulling the wood and acting like its brand new I'm going to boil it and then...
