I've got a 5 month old FOWLR with one colony of Button Polyps (I Plan on adding more corals eventually). I have a light fixture that is on legs that stands 2 inches above the water and had to replace the Canopys that came with the tank due to the amount of light they would block. Right now...

I do PWC's 2 times a week on a 130 Gallon Aquarium once on Sunday and once on Wed or Thurs. Each PWC is 20 gallons each time (four 5 gallon buckets) so that's a total of approx 40 Gallons of water a week in PWC's. Today I did a water test and my Nitrates are up to 80ppm! I don't see how this...

So, I have some Amazon Swords in my tank and I think it's time I need to seperate them. They have both grown into 2 seprate Swords so that would be a total of 4 Swords if I separate the two. However, I'm a little concerned about separating them as when I look at their roots I can see that they...

I just picked up a bottle of Seachem and Sechem Excel for my plants...I did a PWC then followed the directions and added the correct amounts. The problem is, after I did the additives, I noticed on the Seachem that it contains %0.0001 copper. I've heard that Copper or any other metals are toxic...

I've run this calculator 4 times and I keep getting the same result. I was told my tank was 130 Gallons when I purchased it, but when I run this calculator it's telling me it's a 143 Gallon: http://www.petfish.net/mea.htm http://www.petfish.net/calculate.htm My tank is 72 inches long, 19...

I was just sitting and watching my tank (My PC is right infront of it) and was looking at my Eheim Filters output thingie. Right now, it's completely submersed and is approx 6 to 7 inches from the bottom of the tank, and 4 to 5 inches from the top. It's pointed a little less than 2 feet from...

Do Apple Snails make mince meat out of plants? Or are they good cleaner/scavengers that are safe in a planted aquarium? Is there any type of snail that won't make mince meat out of a planted aquarium?

I purchased 4 black mollies about 2 to 3 weeks ago and yesterday in the tank I noticed fry... The odd thing is that the mollies are all male! When I purchased them they had them divided into two tanks, male and female, and I verified that they were male by the description here...

I took the plunge and bought 2 plants as an experiment to see if they'd survive. It's been 3 weeks and they appear to be thriving! I picked up an Amazon sword and a Japanese dwarf rush and they've doubled (Almost tripled) in size. When I take a close look at the sword I can see that it's...

The recommended size of fish is an inch per gallon when stocking a tank. Does this take into account decorations that take up volume in the tank? I just put in a large log that looks takes up...probably a gallon or two in volume...is this going to affect the overall fish that I can safely put...

Just wondering how many people can actually sit down and "enjoy" their tank without fiddling with it. I really enjoy the hobby...I love watching the fish glide from side to side and find it very relaxing. But I'm always sitting infront of the tank thinking "You know, that rock would look...

I'm looking for something that is a little more unique than just regular fish. Something to add to my tank that doesn't have fins. I was searching for things like Freshwater Lobsters and eels, and came across shrimp which not only look pretty cool, but will do an excellent job of cleaning...

I've recently got back into the aquarium hobby after taking approx 6 years off due to lack of space in the place(s) we were living. A LOT has changed since I was last interested in running a tank (Especially the prices of fish!) I've setup my aquarium approx 4 weeks ago and have left my...

After doing research on the net for some kind of DYI C02 solution I came across this link: http://www.hoftiezer.net/personal/aquaria/aquaria_construction_co2reactor.htm It's an External C02 reactor. My question is, after building this thing, what in the world do you do with it? Does it need...

I have a 130 gallon aquarium with the measurments: 72 inches long, 19 inches width, 24 inches deep I recently moved and lost the top to the fish tank so I don't have a cover at this point. I still have the light fixture and am worried about the water causing damage to the fixture if I install...
