Hi guys! After tons and tons of thought and research, I've decided a few months ago that I want a seahorse-only (with invertebrates) tank- I have a 60 gallon hexagon, so I think the height would be perfect for seahorses over any other fish that are more horizontal swimmers. I really want two or...

Two of my ten year old comets had been looking unwell for a little while, so I moved them to a 60 gallon hospital tank two days ago. One appeared much better with a bit of salt, but then mysteriously died overnight. The other one has been lying on the gravel with his fins clamped, only moving...

I feel so terrible!!!!! I just added a bit of freshwater to the tank after some evaporation, and to escape the flow of water, my sea star (only tank inhabitant at the moment) scuttled away. All fine, I thought. Then I saw the majority of one of his arms on the tank bottom!!! Looks like maybe he...

Hello guys! I bought a used 60 gallon tank for my future saltwater tank (FOWLR for now, possibly reef later on). It has a built-in intake and output system in the bottom of the tank that connects to a cannister filter in the cabinet, resulting in very few dead spots in the tank, and no unsightly...

Hello! I bought a 60 gallon tank last night, used. It came with two glass pieces as a lid, but they only cover 1/3 of the top each leaving he middle third open. I'm planning on having gobies in this tank, and I really really don't want them to go carpet surfing, therefore I need a tight fitting...

Hello all! I've always felt a little left out, with everyone around me having big beautiful planted tanks...I love all my tanks, but I want to try plants now!! In my beginner days, I put a plant or two in a tank, but didn't have any lights in the tank and so it withered away and I decided I...

Hey guys. I recently upgraded my beloved clawed frogs from a 15 gallon to a 35 gallon, and they are loovvviiinnggg all the space! I used the established filter media in the new filter (a Tetra Whisper, which btw is anything but whisper quiet), and used raw shrimp to test the BB, with several...

Ahhhh!!! I have a healthy 60 gallon tank with a small peaceful community, and I just added four rainbow sharks (2 albino). Everything is doing great in the tank, it's been running for a couple years. Ammonia and nitrites are at 0 nitrates at 5-10 ppm. Temp is 25 degrees Celsius. But the sharks...

Was browsing kijiji for tanks, and found a 65 gallon saltwater setup with a Rena cannister filter, reef octopus skimmer (month old), 60+ lbs of live rock, 4-48" T5 LED lights, stand and probably more, with a bat fish, for $500. This seems like a good deal, but I have no idea what saltwater...

Hello all! I'm setting up a 55 gallon as my first marine tank, and wanting to go the whole 9 yards. I'm going to seed the filter with existing fw established media, then slowly raise the salinity so as not to kill off the BB. Then I am going to add live sand (how many pounds do I need?) and...

Hello! So I've recently aquired a new, much larger bedroom-guess what that means?? More fish tanks!! So I'm going to get a 55 gallon tank, and set up a reef. This will be my first saltwater tank, and I want to go slowly and so everything perfectly. I will be getting: an eheim cannister filter...

My family doesn't understand why I'm so excited, so I thought I'd share my good news with fellow fish lovers. I just watched my juvenile leopard Ctenopoma eat a chopped up pellet!!! He's only ever eaten ghost & brine shrimp and guppy fry, which are a pain in the butt, and nutritionally...

It has to be done- what's on your Christmas wishlist?? I'm asking for another Fluval U4 (favorite filter by far) and a brine shrimp hatchery. Then some stuff for my ponies :p What luxury item(s) do you guys want?

So my boyfriend has come over to the dark side... Heh heh heh :p he now wants his very own tank. He's helped me care for mine for a year, so I know he knows what he's getting into, and he's got me in case he needs help. So I'm getting him a tank as a present, and finding something really cool to...

Before this forum, I had no idea anyone kept turtles with fish!! Our family adores turtles, but don't have room for another huge tank- but what about a smaller turtle with 8" comet goldfish? In the summer he could either have the 90 gal to himself, or go out in the pond with the fish. So would...

M curious- I would like to have my three ACFs in my 90 gallon over-winter goldfish tank (they are in a pond in the spring and summer). The frogs are about 3 inches, pretty hefty, and not interested in any feeder fish I put with the. ( they just adore their wax worms and pellets) and the comets...

Would really love to start a nano reef tank- but I want to have success, not repeated frustration. Roll your eyes now, because I really want clownfish. I know, I know, but they're popular for a reason! I know you don't need anemones and such to keep clowns, but if im doing marine, I might as...

Hi guys, I've only ever had African cichlids before, but I now have a south American/ new world tank, and I'm looking for any pieces of knowledge you all have for success. Stocking is (all juveniles, under 2") -blood parrots -salvinis -jack dempsey -firemouths In your experience, are all...

Fill in the blank! I'm sure this has been done before, but I want to know the products etc you cannot live without! Everything from your favorite lights and filters to food products to random accessories! Let's find the best of the best through trial and error, and learn from each other :)...

So I was at work today (pet store) and this lady came in, handed me a large plastic grocery bag, and said "take my fish. He's south American" and then left. He's a gorgeous cichlid... Of some kind. So of course, being me, I took him home :p I'm pretty sure he's a red devil, but I would like to...

Kay, so I have three tanks to choose from (one empty, the others have inhabitants which can be shuffled around). I want to start a nano reef tank, but only have itty bitty tanks available to use, so it's time to challenge myself and see what I can do! The tank choices are: Fluval chi: 6...

Hello all fellow fishy lovers :) I'm maddy and I'm new to the forum so bear with me! Just thought I'd introduce myself and get to know some of the wonderful people on here, so here it goes. My aquaria are as follows: 800-gallon outdoor pond: 4 comet goldfish I bought as "feeders" eight years...
