    Dual 55g stand

    Who's running a dual metal 55g stand? Looking to pick one up but would like to see pics of different brands to see the clearance between the top and bottom tanks and the distance from the floor on the lower tank.

    Little bugs in my algae wafers

    Just noticed a bunch of dust size bugs in my algae wafers, thought it was dust from the wafers but they moved around. Any ideas? I keep them in an air tight container and only get a weeks servings in another container to keep them fresher longer. My daily container also has these bugs but so...

    WC water

    I've been watering my lawn and roses with my weekly water changes, but now we started a fruit and veggie area. Do you use your dirty water for them too? My wife thinks it's not a good idea since we will be consuming them. I say it does not matter but will actually help them grow like the roses...

    Water pump suggestion

    Here's what I want to do, I want to fill up a 100g container with water from my 180g and my 40g from weekly water changes. Once container is filled, I want to water my lawn with the old water, but with a hose and nozzle. It's only a 15'x15' section of lawn, so the pressure would not have to be...

    Dual FX5 layout

    Picking up a 180g and already scored on 2 FX5 canisters. How do have them set up input/output wise to get the most out of them. Will the output be enough on both to aerate the top or should I look into a Koralia wave maker or something. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Crushed Coral Question

    So I just scored on 50lbs of free crushed coral that was used in a salt water set up. What do I need to do to it to use in my freshwater Mbuna 60g tank that now has play sand? I plan on maybe going with a 50/50 mix or any other suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Sponge filter

    I made a few sponge filters for my fry tanks, I'm ready to start cycling them but was wondering if you put the air stone all the way to the bottom below the holes and sponge or just above the sponge, and the drilled holes. I seen people do them both ways, but on most of the "premium" pre made...

    Filter sponge replacement

    I need to replace all four sponges on my Fluval 406 since I noticed they are falling apart on my last cleaning. I'm also running an AquaClear 110 and a ATI Filter Max 3 on both suction tubes. My F406 has all the trays full of Bio-Max rings. My AQ110 also has the rings. Do you think I will run...

    Are these two the same?

    Getting conflicting answers on different forums. Bought two of the one on top as Electric Blues and bottom one as a Johanni. The bigger one on the bottom keeps wanting to mate with only that one shown but it's not working out for him. Just want to make sure they are the same incase they do breed.

    Yellow Lab > Stud

    Just seen my male yellow lab knock up two of my female labs back to back, not even 3 minutes passed in between. Is this common? Both have a mouth full now.

    Tank size

    Looking to buy a tank locally, he has it advertised as a 80g but my calculations come out closer to a 90g. He has it listed as 48x18x23, googled that size and sure enough some call it a 80g or 90g. Want to update my 60g so a 90g would be my choice. Thoughts? Using online calculator I get 86g...

    Beamswork Led?

    Looking at the 48"+ Beamswork led lights and was wondering what you guys thought was a better option for a 32" tall 48" long 100g tank. Was looking at the 6500K and the 10,000K, both 3900 Lumens. I have been reading that the 6500K made the colors of the fish pop more naturally than the 10,000K...

    Over feeding?

    A few weeks ago I thought I was having an issue with my driftwood clouding up my tank, not the typical tannins, but a heavy brown dust like film. This dust does not stick to anything, so I know it's not diatoms, it just floats around and the only traces it leaves is making my in/output tubes...

    Metal stand limit?

    Do you guys think this stand will support a 100 gallon tall tank? It came with a 55 gallon tank that leaked, made a custom table top for it and has been holding my 60 gallon for 5 years now without problems. Both tanks are 48" long, 15" deep. Bought stand and 55 gallon separate, so don't know...

    Floating tiny brown dust particles

    Started having this problem a couple weeks ago that I can't get rid of. I didn't change or add anything, regular 60% water changes every week, filters serviced every other month. Water test fine, fish happy. If you look closely you could see tiny little brown dust particles floating around. They...

    Canopy Bracket.

    What brackets do you guys use to hold up the lid on a canopy? Not talking about the hinges, but the ones that go on the inner side and latch the lid open when raised. Where do you buy them in the USA? Thanks.

    Tall Mbuna tank?

    I have a 60 gallon 48x15x18 overstocked Mbuna tank right now and want to bump up the gallon size but could only stick with a 48" long footprint due to space. I'm looking at the 110 gallon 48x18x31 tank, will this benefit my cichlids or wasting my money? I know they prefer a long tank, but can't...
