    Treating Hydra with Fenbendazole Question

    I have a pretty bad outbreak of hydra in my freshwater pipefish tank. I know it's not a threat to the adult fish but will be a threat to the fry if I ever get them to breed. Since Spixi snails are impossible to find for sale, and moving the fish to another tank is not possible, I'm going to...

    Keeping Daphnia in Planted Tank as Self Sustaining Food Source?

    I just got 4 Indian Royal green pipefish and they need constant live food. I saw a video on YouTube where the guy had his daphnia culture in the planted tank with the pipefish by the hundreds. I put my daphnia culture in the tank, it's perfect because the pipefish can only eat the small ones...

    Can I use Reef lights on freshwater tank?

    I have 2 fluval reef leds on a tank I'm breaking down and instead of selling them and buying new lights I'm curious if I can just use them on the freshwater tanks I'm going to set up. The freshwater tanks will be for breeding guppies and plecos. I'm not gonna do any plants, just bare bottom...

    130 watt pc Aqualight on 20 long enough for RBTA?

    I have this light, and a 20 long just sitting in the garage not being used. I ditched the light for LEDs because I read that PC doesn't penetrate water that great. My question is: on a 20 long where the light would sit directly on canopy at 12" above the bottom of the tank, is this enough...

    Thinking about buying this tank, with light canister filter stand skimmer rock included. 90 gallon Surfline tank. Top canopy says Eheim which is really confusing because I can't find anything on google about Eheim making a Surfline/wavefront tank... The light is what's going to make or break...

    Hello everyone. After about a month of tracking down this plant, I was finally able to secure a tissue culture. But now, because I don't have the patience to wait and see if it grows, I'm paranoid. I have a fugeray planted + light hanging 15" from the substrate. Substrate is Eco-complete...

    Snowflake clown hasn't eaten in a week

    I bought a sebae anemone right out of the supplier bag for them. When I got home it was 5x bigger than I thought it would be and ended up being way too big for my 36 gal. I decided to give it a go, my pair of clowns were hosting it. After about two weeks, the sebae ate my Yasha goby, I...

    Dividing Bubbletip Anemone ???

    I did some research.. And decided to divide my rose bubbletip. It was my first time doing this & the anemone barely opened once I had it ready to cut on the table. I had a hard time getting a clean cut and getting it to not slide all over. Hence I'm not sure if both halves got a part of...
