    New Nano Set Up

    You can call this nano if you like, I'm not sure what qualifies an aquarium to be "nano" but what I'm calling "nano" is 5 gallon. I just set this up after saving up for quite a while. Pics will come in the next post. I'm using floramax as substrate for planting low light plants. I filled it...

    New planted lighting advice

    I am getting into planted aquariums. I am slowly transforming my current community tank into a planted aquarium with a unique aqua scape. Eventually I plan converting gravel to dirt and having a full carpet of something whether it will be baby tears or dwarf hair grass. I need to fact check...

    Male guppies chasing pregnant females

    Is this going to stress the females out. The males are small and the females are bigger.

    Switching to sand, one big question

    Would like to get some dark deep brown colored substrate. It will be replacing gravel in a stocked and planted aquarium. I've done a few searches but wanted to see what product has worked best for others.

    Hard water

    So I live in Texas which is pretty much made of limestone shelf. So I had the bright idea to find my own rocks to put in my tank, and I did. Upon further research I found out these rocks actually aren't good for the water in your aquarium. Is this reason my water is reading incredibly high? My...

    My clawed frog Francine

    Recently, at my lps, on a whim my wife wanted a african dwarf frog. So when the attendant scoped it out, I saw one that was a little bigger and of course, "oh, can you get that one!" So we brought it home and it was living happily in its new home and then it started growing. Did a bit of...
