Hello, I am going to be renovating my 10 gallon tank soon and need some suggestions on what to do for lighting. I plan on removing the top trim from the tank and if possible I would like to leave the top open with no cover. Also, if possible, I would like to keep the lighting setup under $100...

Hello all! ** EDIT: didn't realize I wrote a novel.. TL;DR: Need lighting advice for 10G planted rimless tank ** I currently have a 10G tank and have been wanting to change it up for a while now, mainly because when I first got it I was pretty broke so I wasn't able to get it how I envisioned...

Hello, I currently have an AquaClear 10 on my 10 gallon tank in my room and it is a bit too noisy, especially at night when there are no other sounds. Even when the water is full to the top I can hear the filter running, kind of like a humming/buzzing noise, and when the water goes down a cm or...

Hey I just picked up a Ruby Red Cichlid and it looks nothing like what I see on Google.. The guy said it's dark because it was getting picked on by others in the tank and also that it's female. I'm looking around and can't find too much about it so I thought I'd ask here and maybe someone can...

Hey I have one Yellow Lab (approx 2-2.5in) and one Albino (same) in a 50 gallon tank that I'm starting to stock. I came across a giveaway and took advantage without doing much research and ran into a couple possible issues :ermm:.. First I got 2 Convict Cichlids (approx 5in). They came from...

Hey all, I've been having a bunch of trouble with some weird stuff going on in my tank lately.. First there's long strands of hair growing on most of the plants that I have, I cut all the leaves that had it growing on them and a few days later I already see its back! I have some pictures...

Hey everyone, I'm almost done building a hood for my tank right now so that means getting fish is not too far away! :) I'm thinking it'll be a couple weeks before I add my first few fish maybe during the cycle? Anyways I'm kind of stuck on deciding what kind of fish to get.. I'm thinking...

Hey so I found a greaatttt deal for a 50 Gallon aquarium with a stand and a bunch of accessories :) Only everything is really dirty and there are some parts I'm not too sure what exactly they're for. I plan on cleaning everything for the next few days make sure everything is spotless before I...

Hey so I've noticed a lot of what I believe is brown algae growing all over my tank lately. This is the first time I've ever seen this and am wondering if it's bad for the fish at all? I don't mind how it looks in certain parts.. The tank is sitting right in front of my window and I've heard...

I saw an ad on kijiji and someone is selling blue lobsters. I would LOVE to get one of them they look so cool. Right now in my tank i have: Molly Red/Blue Columbian Tetra 3 Neon Tetras 2 Zebra Danios Does anyone know if it would be safe to put a lobster in without having all my fish eaten?

I just picked up this plant at the fish store but completely forgot what he said the name was. Was told to just let it float at the top of the tank but I see some roots and was wondering if I could make it grow in the ground?

I'm going out to buy some black and red gravel today and plan on changing what I have right now. My plan right now is to take the fish and ornaments out then scoop out the gravel and replace, simple enough. I heard before though that gravel contains beneficial bacteria so would this change mess...

Wondering just in case, would like to be prepared if so.

Hey just a quick question, how do you clean the gravel in your tank if there are rocks and fake plants everywhere. The siphon is too big to reach around them all so I could only get to 1 or 2 parts of the tank. Any ideas on how to clean it a bit better?

Okay so I've had my fish tank for about 2 months now and every time I do a water change I prepare the water I'm putting in a day before changing by filling up a bucket of water and adding a bit of Top Fin Water Clarifier. When I was starting off the fish tank I went to petsmart to ask get...

Here's a picture of what my tank looks like right now, it's 10 gallons. Thinking about putting some real plants in there to replace the fake ones I have now. Maybe even a small coat of grass on the floor? Now I have nooo idea about what plants would be good. I looked around a few websites but...
