Ok so I never believed the words I read about UV Sterilizers. I thought oh ya sure. So I purchased one off of Ebay for under $30 and got it on Thursday. On friday I did my usual water changes and then put it into my 25 gallon tank and forgot about it. Several hours later I happened to look at...

I have again had to replace my filter cartridges on my 55 gallon tank. It has been a month maybe since I changed them the last time. They come out of the filter falling apart, so I don't get the chance to just swish them about in the old water to clean them. Why is this happening to my...

I am thinking of getting a 4 inch Tiger Oscar Cichlid soon. I have talked to my local breeder about them and mentioned I was going to put it into a sanded bottom tank. He said it would be ok as he does the same set up for his and has never had a problem with the sand. Anyone else using sand in...

I have about 50 frogbit plants in two tanks. My question is about the roots. the roots on mine are kinda fuzzy looking, are they supposed to be like this or should they be like a few of them, nice white roots hanging down. And can I if wanted, plant them in the gravel?

Does anyone have now or in the past used Dwarf Hairgrass in their tanks. I just put some in my 10 and 25 gal tanks. Does it grow fast with bright lighting, how long does it take to start a carpet of it. I think it is real cool, so I thought I'd give it a try, found it at PetSmart today. Oh and...

I am going to be setting up a tank(40-60gal) in the next few months, and I 'm trying to do all the research I can. The question I have right now, is can I use an under gravel filter system while using sand as my substrate? I know a lot of you will tell me NOT to use an under gravel system, but...

Ok I just did a WC in my 55 gallon. When I went to shake out the filter in the dirty water, it just fell apart on me. I did have two new filters so I had to put in a new one where the old one fell apart( i had to throw it away), and then had to put another one in the other side. In the other...
