I just picked up a ^ to get it started cycling it I hope, then use it in an upcoming swap. Does this thing really come with 2 media trays of carbon, it's freakin awesome it comes with 4 trays but carbon in half of them??? My plan is to use some xport bio stuff in one tray then polishing media in...

I think I have created an algae filter on accident. For some reason the rapids c-80 hob canister was looking like a good investment so I got one. I changed a few things so it only has blue floss and fluval mechanical rings, I also swapped the lines for vinyl. The canister has been hanging on the...

I got a Speedwave DC 1320 pump and today I'm working at plumbing it. On the box it says the pump can be used submerged or inline but the instruction say it will damage the the pump if it's not submerged, is the direction implying to not use the pump inline or was that a warning to not run the...

How far did "they" let you take it before you got "Another what....No no NO more tanks, no I don't care." Tonight was mine, I think the RO filter and like 3 or 4 buckets in "her" laundry room did it and I use the laundry room sink cause it's nice and deep, a 5 gallon fits under with room, I do...

I think one of my Opaline Gourami is pregnant. I noticed it's belly yesterday after feeding but just kinda figured it was a good meal. Today before feeding it still has the belly, and yes I'm 90% that it's a female. I have 2 opaline, one has a dorsal that is pointed and almost flowy that goes...

I just got home with a couple crayfish, they where all called "Blue Crayfish" and in a separate tank they had "White Crayfish". I got a blue one and a pinker one, lfs said they should leave the fish alone until the crayfish get bigger, they was in with corys and very small pleco of some type. My...

Today I have noticed little white swimming things in my sump. Could they maybe ghost shrimp, I had a couple with eggs like 2 weeks ago. They are super quick and maybe around the size of a grain of table salt. Sorta looks like a long body with 2 tiny rounder things at one end. They are extremely...

I have a RO filter that I fill a 5g bucket with a heater in it for WC's, float valve in the bucket and the problem is with the auto off valve. I tried and tried to get it working the way all directions and info says to but it just kept running, filled a bucket with waste even with a ball valve...

My Opaline Gourami has a green spot over the right eye, pics below. The spot has been here from day one, I noticed it the first night. It doesn't appear to be changing size at all. I got two of them Opaline at the same store and they both act fine, eat active all that. That fish has been in my...

Got a 60g "Homeland" set at petsmart. The stand is ehh, took it apart and reassembled with liquid nails, still ehh but better, will be replace at some point. I have an Eheim 2215 on it now but for a bunch of reasons I like the idea of a sump. Not sure if you guys know what the homeland set is...

I have a 200w Hydor inline heater. I'm going super anal and trying to make my whole tank as close to silent as possible, the heater seams to work well but it has a nice click with every single on and off, like an electrical breaker click or grill ignitor, only really a problem right before I...

Hi all. Just got started into aquariums. I currently have a 60g FW with a Eheim 2215 with an added whole house prefilter modded to use floss and a HOB that only runs with the lights. It's in the living room so silence is a must. I'm now working on setting up a sump and a non-drilled overflow...
