I have had my 55g up and running for about 5 months now, and everything is doing great! I now would like to get into realm of planted aquaria. My thought was to start a 10g (maybe 20g) moderate to heavily planted tank. I wanted to do do it separate from my mian for several reasons: 1) my...

Does anyone know what is causing this? I just lost one more and a couple others are not looking so good. They keep developing these raised pink areas on their bodies.

I just picked up 10 lemon tetra. I acclimated them etc. One had a reddish sore on his side. The red (light red) sore appeared to be raised. I put them in the tank around 10:00pm and my midnight it had died. I wake up to find the next morning one more has died. I returned them and got two...

Hello everyone, First I must thank everyone. As a beginner in the hobby, everything that people contribute is incredibly helpful. On to the point. I am in the process of setting up a 55 gal tank. Plan on making a lightly to moderate planted community tank. I would like to have: a pair of...

I have a line on a fish tank i would like to buy. It is a 55gal tank. I plan making it a community tank (probably 10-ish fish, i'm still deciding on what i want). I want to use a sand substrate. My questions is, it comes with 1 Magnum 220 and 1 Magnum 350 canister filters for a ugf setup...
