Went down to Petco and looked at the tanks, I was interested in the 55Gal. But I looked at it and the glass looks like it's about 1/4" thick, I don't know if I would trust it. My 65Gal I currently have the glass is 3/8" thick. That's a 1/8" difference for 10Gal. Think I'll save my money...

Is anyone using a NitrAte filter, or something like De-NitrAte in their canister for their fresh water aquariums? If so is it worth it? Do you do less water changes? Do the filters or the filter media really help? Just was wondering I know Aquaripure is a advertiser/sponsor for the forum but...

Sometimes I wonder about this LFS, for the most part they have good advice. Today I was in there looking to see if they got anything new, and I over heard the new guy working there telling someone that every time they do a water change they have to add bacteria again because it gets removed...

I decided to go ahead and set up a quarantine tank, and have it set up all the time. The question is I don't want to have it empty (no bio load), and have to constantly feed it ammonia so I need to get something and put in it I was thinking a small plec, and maybe one or two other types of...

Does during the middle of the cycle the Ammonia and Nitrides go high all of a sudden? Came home yesterday, and the aquarium was cloudy; up until now it has been dead clear, I checked the numbers and the Ammonia and Nitrites were sky high not off the chart but high. for the past couple of days...

Thinking about this for my filter set media setup, let me know what you think. I have two cascade 1000's running on a 70 gal Aquarium. been thinking in the botom tray I put the normal white floss, and then the charcol bag: Middle tray I put the white floss, and the Puigen bag: Top tray I put...

Just wondering are bio rings better to have than a course sponge? Or use both or what? Any one have any opinions. Or have used them. Thanks Danny

well I finally got my tank set up and have most of everything I want in it and started my fishless cycle, finished the tank at around 8:30 on Tues night. Went home last night and did the test, and here are the results: Ammonia - 2.0 ppm Nitrite - 1.0 ppm Nitrate - 20 ppm PH - 7.8 The ph is...

Hi all. Just got a new 60 gal aquarium, and I've been out of the hobby for a while (about 25-30 years) and I see a lot of advancements since the days I had my old 75 gallon. I'm sure I'll have some questions on setting up with the newer equipment that is out today. looking forward to...
