I keep hearing Oscars are pretty rough on plants, so I'm not sure if I should try it or not.

Ok. The tank is cycled (fish-less with ammonia), decorated and ready to go. Tried to achieve a river theme. Eventually i will put in a couple of Tiger Oscars a Plycostomus and one other large fish yet to be determined. For now I will test my cycling with something smaller (which I'll transfer...

I currently don't run charcoal in my fluval fx5 canister because I have it loaded with bio mass while I'm cycling the tank. Everything was fine till I added some wood I thought was leached really well. I guess it was t leached enough because the water is a little murky. Is there a way to...

Decided 72 wasn't big enough. Went with 125 instead. Cycling now.

Nitrates are still low. Not sure how long nitrites have been high. Tested for it first time today. I was surprised the ammonia phase went so quick. It's only been a week and a half. (I seeded the filter with biomass from an established tank). Ammonia started bottoming out two days ago. After my...

Howdy. Need a little help. Cycling 125 gallon tank. Ammonia dropping from 4ppm to zero overnight (hooray). Nitrites very high (as expected). Did large water change and brought them down a bit. Here is my question. Should I continue bringing my ammonia up to 4 ppm daily or should I bringing them...

I am getting ready to set up a tank for an Oscar. I have settled Oma 72 gallon bowfront but haven't decided on filtration or substrate I am considering either a fluval 405 canister or an aqueon under cabinet wet/dry sump system. I am also open to other ideas as I'm early in the research...

Dang autocorrect. King of the tank. (and thanks)

I think he knows it too. Definitely link of the tank.

I thought I had more on my phone, Oh well, Here's a couple from my 75 gallon community tank. It's a little aggressive with angels, sharks, a Placo, 4 clowm loaches and some tetras. But so far it's fairly harmonious. I'm surprised the gourami is handling the stress. Lol. I also have a 20...

Hi all. I'm glad to have found this forum. What a wonderful source of info. I have had a couple of tanks for about a year now and am looking at putting together a 3rd. Yeah I'm hooked. Will be doing a lot of research and FAQ reading before I start asking the obvious. Don
