I use big al's and marinedepot.com Big Al's has the lowest prices but I live in California so it always takes about 8 days or so for the package to come from New York. Marine Depot has good prices and they are located in Southern Cali so it only takes a couple of days for my order to arrive...

Alright so I think I will be starting up a new tank in the next couple of weeks and I chose the AquaClear 110/500 as my filter. I currently have an Eheim Ecco up and running and I had the idea of taking some of the Ehfi Substrat Pro from the Eheim and using that in the AC media bag instead of...

I have this: http://bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=35235;category_id=2259 Just one unit for my 26 gall. It's awesome!

I had a clown pleco awhile ago, and he always hid in the back of my tank - I hardly ever saw him. I've heard that they're pretty shy. Got driftwood? From what I know, it's essential to their diet.

The bottom tray has the blue coarse filter pad with substrat pro on top. The top tray has substrat pro with the white fine filter pad on top. Dunno if that info helps but it's what the diagram on the back of the instruction manual recommended, so I just went with that. I'm not using any...

I have an eheim ecco 2232 canister filter for my 26 gallon. Does anyone have an idea on how often to replace the filter media in the canister? I'm using the eheim substrat pro that came with it.. I did a quick google search and I read a post saying: "I also seem to remember a six month...

I was out in the living room earlier and noticed that my bronze cory had a ton of eggs underneath her! I just went back out to check and now it seems that they're on the glass against the front corner. I guess this should be my choice but..should I make an effort to protect the eggs? I read...

Nope..it's not dropsy. ...at least not yet =\

So the last few days I've noticed my opaline gourami got really bloated and stopped eating..I assumed it was constipation at first so I tried to feed her some peas but she ignored them. Currently I'm giving her an epsom salt bath (about 2 teaspoons in a pretty big tupperware container of tank...

Mine is back at 0 :P - I don't know if I messed up on the test or what, but it seems to be okay now.

I do 25-30% water changes weekly. And I threw some Amquel Plus in a little while ago.

I just did a water test today..first time in a few weeks. :oops: My nitrites read at about .25ppm..maybe because I replaced my filter media last week (eheim substrat pro). I know nitrites are really bad for the aquarium, so is there any way to speed up the process to get the nitrites back to...

I had been feeding Omega One flakes in my community tank for awhile, until I ran out. I recently bought some NLS flakes because I heard really good things about the food. I've been feeding the NLS flakes for a few days now and they don't seem as "ravenous" as before when fed. Is this normal...

Amquel works fine for me! :D

well since my angel is gone, i'd have to say my praecox rainbowfish. purdy!

I usually find the "best" looking one, keep my eyes on it, and tell the worker which one I want.

I went to the Petco by my house a few weeks ago..so pathetic. Honestly, I'd say 30-40% of the tanks had at least one dead fish, and then there's a worker floating bags and he didn't even seem to mind. 8O

i was going to straight up flush him, but after i saw him moving around a little i knew he wasn't completely dead, so yes, i did euthanize him then flushed him.

Well I just got home from school and I found him tangled up in one of the fake plants..I'm not surprised though, he hadn't ate in quite awhile. He did give me quite a scare though as I netted him and while I was walking to the bathroom, he kinda twitched a little..one last struggle I guess. I...

Open water, he doesn't look like he's annoyed or anything..more of a helpless struggle D:

Well my angel hasn't been eating for about a week now. He usually just swims idle in one spot in the tank and it doesn't look like he is in good health. Sometimes he will kind of spin aimlessly and do semi-back/front flips. It's really sad watching him like this =\ I do not have the funds...

Yeah, I think it's coming from the hoses....I haven't cleaned those yet and I'm sure there's lots of exciting stuff building up in there :P thanks.

My eheim ecco 2232 is somewhat new and I had some questions on maintenance because the manual doesn't give the best instructions out.. When I replace the carbon pad every few weeks or do any work on it (cleaning the coarse pad) and switch the hoses on and plug it in, a bunch of gunk (bacteria?)...

It was fuzzy at first..I just checked it a few minutes ago and it looks like it cleared up and now it's just a wound because there's a patch of missing skin, like he got cut or something. I can see a tiny bit of blood from looking at it :( The red eye with cottonmouth was in the tank for a...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). My red eye tetra recently developed a fungus (?) patch on his side. It showed up right after I lost my big red eye tetra due to some...
