I just got a third weather loach (golden dojo loach) from Petsmart. I had bought three, well one of them died within 45 minutes of being put in my 55 gallon talk (a new record!). Anyways, I got a refund... the new one I got last night looks practically blind. The other two have bright, black...

I think I finally found the epoxy resin every one is talking about... but does anyone think this would be enough to cover the background for my 29 gallon background? 1.5 pints :) Clear Coat Epoxy Resin

I've come so far, and now I'm just on the epoxy resin part for my 3D background. Can anyone link me a product... cause I've been to Home Depot/Menards and haven't been able to find what in the world I'm supposed to use.

Anyone knows a relatively easy to take care of foreground plant? Preferably generally available? I might go back to my LFS and order something, they don't have a lot currently.

Can you measure it for me and tell me how big across it is? My Penguin mini filter totally crapped out... I've been trying for a few days and can't get it to work again (there's no fish in this tank, just plants) I'm wanting to see if I can fit it in a slot for my 10 gallon aquarium, I'm...

Two weeks ago or so... my brother was trying to catch a rounded snail infestation in our 10 gallon planted tank... so he put a kiwi in there and it accidentally got left in over night. I'll first say that there are NO fish in that tank right now. (and never use a kiwi to catch snails - horrible...

Okay... with this whole DIY background... I've got it all figured out. The pieces fit, concrete is on, have sillicone sealant ready... have read up on everything... but I have NO idea what epoxy resin to use. Can anyone post pictures or link to me to a suggested product? I've gone to like Home...

I'm thinking about doing a DIY project with styrofoam/concrete... and am wondering what I should look for as far as safe paint goes if I want to try to make the concrete a more brownish color? Any help or suggestions?

Obviously in live sand for a reef there are those biological differences, but I'm taking just sand I'm buying from a petstore in a bag. I want to put some sand atop in one of my freshwater set ups (for my dwarf puffers so they don't scratch themselves up) and was curious if there's anything in...

This is my fourth fish tank I'm working on and it's 29 gallons with an eclipse hood (a wonderful second hand find that I couldn't resist from craigslist.com, it's a dieeeeeeease...). I've always kept community and show fish and I really want a "pet" fish... a tank with just one long term...

The other day I found a very inexpensively priced eclispe 29 gallon system on craigslist and took it home with me. After 3 hours of scrubbing mineral deposits and caked on algae out of the million little nooks and crannies on the hood and tank - it's almost perfect! I've kept "community" and...

I am pretty sure in my 20G high that it's a 24 inch strip. I need good lighting because I have amazon swords... but the only wattage for that size I can find is a 20 watt. Are there certain brands better than others, can anyone show me a good place on the internet to purchase a lightstrip for my...

MY LFS just got in some Coolie loaches, something special they're ordering in. I'm in the mood for something new, and was wanting to know if anyone had any experience with them and would like to recommend anything about them. I just don't know where to put them. I have an understocked 55...

Magnesium deposits? Calcium deposits? How do I get them off my biowheel without damaging my bacteria? Can I just wipe.

there are little white balls on my money wort which I got two weeks ago... the other plants I have are fine. The moneywort is rotting away though I have seachem flourite gravel and two 13 wat flour. bulbs. Is it a fungus?by the way it's a 10 gallon :)

Okay this is going to be short and to the point. I have a 55g aquarium been up for two years. Never had TOO many problems other than beginner probs. A week ago I bought three new gouramis, some zanios and some african dwarf frogs. 4 of my 5 african dwarf frogs died within 12 hours in my tank...

This isn't mine so don't PM me, but a person that I was heavily contemplating purchasing from. Parents decided they don't want that big of a tank to have to try and keep afloat when I head off to college. But a great deal and it was an excellent tank so I figured I'd help them sell it. 120 gal...

I have a ten gallon aquarium with sea chem fluorite gravel. Decided I was going to have some live plants for my dwarf puffers when I get them :). I've only found it's hard to do plants in such a small tank when you're new. I can't rememebr the names of the plants I got unfortunately :P. They...

I have a bag of seachem fluorite, can this gravel be used as is to plant or should I do some sort of under the gravel other substrate medium?

When I checked the nitrates in my tank it was between 20-40 ppm... I've been having some discoloration in my bleeding heart tetras so I figured it was from stress from bad water quality. but when I tested my tap water for nitrates out of curiosity... I got the same reading? I'm using Doc Well...

I've had my five bleeding heart tetras in my 55 gallon (up for about 8 months) for about a month now with no problems. As of yesterday I've noticed that one of them is developing a bright peagreen/yellow grow and strip along the top of it's body, and another one is starting to turn from it's...

I have a 55 gallon tank with some room, I've been wanting to add some dwarf gouramis for a long time now (I have swordtails/platys, bleeding heart tetras, bushynose pleco, 4 zebras, and 5 juli cories) ... but I keep getting confused on the sex ratio because I can't seem to get a direct answer or...

Right now in an established 55 gallon I have 5 "large spotted" (Juli I think) cories 4 zebra danios 1 female Sword tail 3 female platys 1 small Bristlenose Pleco 5 Mystery snails And then I have small/medium 2 ST fry and 3 Platy fry all of which look like they will survive The tank right now...

I have two 15 watt clear bulbs in my ten gallon... technically when the math is done it is 3 wpg, but would it still be considered lowish light because of the inital wattage of the bulbs?

I only feel slightly stupid asking this question, but I want to make sure I ask it before I do something stupid I'm setting up my first tank with live plants in a 10 gallon. I usually buy cheap gravel for my other tanks, but bought Seachem's flourite fracted porous clay gravel. While I'm...
