I moved my 72 gallon aquarium today, putting in a new floor where it once sat. After reassembling everything one of the bulkheads is leaking. I can't get it to seal properly. Should I go buy a replacement or is there something I can do.

Anyone know someone in the local area that builds custom stands?

I've got a 72 gallon bowfront tank. The current stand really only holds my sump. There's no room to store supplies or addition equipment under the tank. I'm thinking of building a new stand that would be bigger than the current tank. The tank is 48 in long and I'm thinking the stand will be...

When I set my tank up a year ago I opted to cheap out on the substrate. I've got about two inches of sand with an inch of gravel. My plants started out doing OK but in the last few months they have started looking bad. I figure it's time to change the substrate. Right now I'm looking at...

I've been looking at all the pics in the galleries. I really like the tanks that have a nice thick green ground cover. Recently I've looking at Java Moss but I'm afraid it might get to tall for my liking. I want something that'll stay low but also climb up over my rocks and driftwood. Any...

I've got a tank with a crack that I'd like to have repaired. Anyone know of any place that might do this?

I've got a tank that I've had mothballed for a couple of years now. It's a 46 gallon corner tank. The tank is made up of five side panes of glass. The front pane has a small crack in the glass right at the bottom. The crack is less than an inch long and, as best as I can tell, hasn't made it...

My pride and joy.

I'm thinking about adding a school of Neons to my tank. I've got a 72 gallon bowfront tank with the following: 3 Tri-color Sharks 3 Clown Loaches 2 Placos 4 Golden Gouramis Will the neons be OK or do I need to worry about the Gourami's attacking them?

I've search the forums and I haven't really seen this addressed. My FW tank has an overflow and sump that moves about 400 gallons an hour. My problem is when I feed my fish flake food it's almost immediately sucked into the overflow. What's the best way to feed my fish flake food without turning...

When I bought my plants I got a little bonus. He was a cute littile guy just crawling around the tank. Now we have 4 big snails and a bunch of little ones. I really concerned that they're going to take over. Is there anyway to get rid of them?

Well just two of them. I've got two Brazilian Sword Med.(White sail houseplant) I noticed the other day that some of their leaves were turning yellow. I took a closer look and I noticed that the stems are turning black at the base. I'm at a loss as to what this is or what to do. I don't have...

I bought a couple of brazilian Swords a couple of weeks ago. One of the plants came with an off shoot with baby plants just forming. A couple of weeks later and the roots on the babies are getting pretty long. I have a couple of questions. How do I separate them? Just nip them off and plant...

When I change the water, lets say 10% or 7 gallons, when do you treat the water? After you add it to the tank or prior?

I noticed tonight that I've got something growing on my driftwood. I looks like it's growing fur. Should I take it out and wash the fur off?

I'm posting this because my wife thinks this is a problem. I've got a Oceanic Sump and the pump is fully submerged. But occasionally I get a burst of air bubbles from the return from the sump. I don't think it's much of a problem because a little air is good. IMO. But as I said my wife is...

Hi I'm Jack and restarting a hobby in Aquariums. I've had numerous aquariums over the years and alway enjoyed having one. I finally bought my Dream aquarium last week a 72 Gallon Oceanic Bowfront. The new challenge with this tank for me is the sump. I've never done a sump before and I'm...

I new to using sumps for filtration and was wondering if anyone has any experience with Oceanic sumps? I think I have a good idea of how a sump is supposed to work but I'm missing something with this one. My main concern is with the supply pipe. In this sump the supply ends at a glass plate...
