I picked up this 47 gallon bowfront a few days ago with the intentions of doing a FOWLR because I'm not familiar with corals and all of the salt equipment. It was originally a FOWLR setup, and came with a canister filter. Now recently I've been talking to my lfs's and I'm starting to think...

I've been thinking about doing a pleco tank with just small species- not the monster types, and maybe 4-5 of them depending on what I can find. I don't have the room for another massive tank, so I thought this might be a good , unique alternative. Obviously bio load would be a huge concern, but...

My 46 gallon goldfish tank is having serious issues for the past few days. I had a ph swing overnight 3 nights ago but it has since been stabilized, it went from 7.4 to 6. I lost a black moor from that (at least I think it was that that caused his death, he was dead when I turned the lights on)...

I've never done a "build thread" before, so I thought I'd give it a go. I hope I have this in the right spot. :) I picked up this used tank and stand at my lfs over the weekend. It's a 50 gallon tall square tank. I'm running a 75 gallon canister filter, a power head, and single bright LED...

I am cycling this 50 gallon tall tank, and I have no idea what I want to put in it! So I'm here. Haha I want something different, I thought about angelfish but I already have them in another tank, so I'm not sure I want more. Would gouramis or rams work in a tank like that? I was looking at...

My synodontis started breathing heavily after the water change today. She was also swimming towards the top more than usual and doing some other odd-for-her-things. I tested my parameters and everything is at zero. I added a little extra prime because my water has been extra chlorinated the past...

I have a C4 that's been used a few days now, and it's been quiet and now all of a sudden the motor is grinding(sounds like my aqueon if it was running dry). I've ripped the entire thing apart and cleaned it, put it back together, and it's still doing it. Every once in a while it stops and i get...

I may have access to a free to me 90 gallon saltwater tank. I don't know much about it at this point, but I know it has rocks in it. (Forgive me I know negative amounts about saltwater, lol) My question is..... Can I convert it to a freshwater tank? I'm assuming it is drilled and all that, but I...

I'm sure that this has been discussed before, but I can't find it on here so I'm just going to start a new thread so I can find it and ask questions if I need to. I'm looking at rocks for my 55gal that is cycling, and as much as I love the rocks I have in my 110, I want something different for...

I have a featherfin squeaker cat in my 110 gallon ( african cichlids) that I think is lonely. I also have a pleco (whom is not my favorite fish in the tank because he's a dirty thing. Lol), and did have 2 clown loaches that I just lost last weekend to what I believe was ich. Ever since the...

Okay my 110 gallon has become infested with ich. I've been working the graveyard shift the past 2 nights and haven't spent the time in my tanks as I usually do, and now I'm paying for it. I've read so much about treating with salt and heat, medicating, WC's, etc but I'm still not sure what is...

Who all has one? I'm just curious how many others have one, and what yours are like! Mine is awesome, he was eating from my hand the first day I had him. He swims around being all mischievous all day. Haha also, what type of "table food" do you feed them, if any?

Stocked my big tank today! I don't think I want any more fish in it, at least for a while. Nobody has any issues with each other and for the most part they could give a crap less about each other. Lol Here's what I got: 1 frontosa (with the agreement from my hubby that he will get his own tank...

I went to my LFS this afternoon to check out their new shipments and ask some questions and came home with two new guys- the first ones in my new tank. I wasn't even planning on buying anything, I just wanted to look! Lol so anyhow, I got the one lonely five bar (tretocephalus I think?) they got...

There is two white spots of something on my lace rock in the tank I am cycling. The rocks have been in for a little over a week now. I couldn't get a good shot of the texture of it, but it looks like a cross between a cobweb and a cocoon. They also have a little spot of bubbles on them. Being...

One of my oranda cap Goldies has been lingering at the bottom of the tank the past two days. He (or she- I'm not sure which!) is still eating, and swims around for a minute at a time then goes back to the same spot. I've noticed that she's started to swim on her side and sometimes flips over...

Can anyone tell me anything about them? Does anyone have any of them? I've found a little bit of information on them online, but was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience with them. I really like them, and would like to know what other breeds they get along with, how big they get...

So I've been browsing the forum today and came to the conclusion that my goldfish tank may be overstocked? It is a 40 gallon with a 50-75gallon HOB fluval filter with 3 bubblers of varying bubble "intensity". I do partial changes every week, gravel vac, routine filter media changes and rinsing...

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I'm a rookie and haven't come across it yet so here goes nothing!Where does everyone keep their setups? Especially if you have multiple large tanks? I have my two biggest ones in my living room, one is in my son's room, and one is in my bedroom. Does...

Hello all! My name is Carey and I am from Pittsburgh, PA. I have been reading various threads here for months, and have finally decided to join so I could (loosely) participate, ask questions, and show off my tanks. I'm here for the knowledge more than anything! :) I have photos of my tanks in...
