Hey everyone I have a 55 set up in my living room with an ac70 and a fluval 305. One morning I did a water change before work. I didn't do anything different from what I normally do. Anyway I came home and with only 25% of the water left in the tank and all the water soaked my basement. I...

I'm getting a 55 gallon this weekend and am looking at options for substrate I want to do black sand but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for the stuff you get at the pet store. I keep reading controversial things about blasting sand but I think it's the way I'm going to go but being in...

Hi! I'm currently cycling my second tank a homemade 36g tall hexagon. I'm having difficulties finding a way to mount my light. I'm not able to put anything in the ceiling or wall I was hoping there was something that I could just clip to the side of the tank and on the light to hold it above the...

I have a homemade hexagonal fish tank my parents handed down to me it hasn't been used in probably 7 years so I'm not sure if it has any leaks. I have to dig it out of storage and fill it up. My question is what kind of caulking should I use I know there's specific type for fish tanks but it's...

Hey guys! Just have question about adding a female betta to my tank. I currently have a 20 gallon that has been setup for over 2 years. Unfortunately a sickness had run though my tank last year and I lost almost all my fish only one lonesome platy survived. Ever since then I've been keeping an...

I have a 20 gallon aquarium with 1 adult platy, 1 juvenile platy and 1 guppy. Recently I've noticed that my adult platy has this weird lump near her top fin, I'm not sure what it is or how to treat it. Since noticing this I've also noticed when she eats bubbles come out of her mouth and she...

I've recently started a planted tank which will eventually have fish in it but first I wanted to make my plants Flourish and like the title says, that's not happening. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong so I'm hoping someone can tell me. I have a 20 gallon fully cycled tank I used fluval on the...

Do you think it's okay to add water from an already cycled tank into a currently cycling tank?

In your opinion what would look better black substrate with a black background or white substrate with a black background? I can't decide, I want something to bring out the colours of my fish and plants make them really pop

I have this 50w heater set up in my 20 gallon for about 4 days now and the temperature is at 68 degrees and won't go any higher. I recently noticed that the colour isn't consistent so I thought maybe it got broken on the move here? Any ideas, has anyone seen this before?

Hey guys, so yesterday I set up my 20 gallon tank I have two other tanks set up but I've never added ammonia to either of them to get the cycle started but for this tank I want to do it right. I was wondering when I should start adding the ammonia. I'm only on the second day of adding the...

Hey guys I'm thinking about building a fish tank but not quite sure where to start I definitely want to make it out of glass and I want a big one I was thinking 6ft by 2.5 ft by 3ft which would hold about 280 gallons of water. I've been keeping fish for about 6 months and I just want something...

I came back from vacation and her eye was cloudy. I did some research and it say to do water changes and it might take it away. So I've been doing some every couple of days. And now it looks like this I'm not sure what it is or what to do now. Should I take her out and put her in another tank...

Hey guys, I just finished doing a water change when I noticed this little guy at the bottom of the tank, I was wondering if it's a pest snail? Or if I can keep it. Will it ruin my tank and over populate it or is it harmless.

I don't know what kind of bottom feeders I should get for my 15 gallon. I had a few juli and panda Cory cats but I'm not a fan of them. I currently have: 15 gal 2 gold dust mollies (male and female) 1 dalmatian molly (female) 1 red wag platy (female) 1 sun burst molly (female) 1 gold...

Finally put my baby platy fry in their new 10 gal there's about 16 little guys in there :)

The power just randomly went out and won't be back on till around 12. My boyfriend and I are both at work till 6. Should I unplug the filter and just let my air stones run? I'm not sure if my filters will start up on their own without me pouring water in them and I'm afraid to burn them out.

I was just wondering if I could use AllTreat Farmers play sand? And how I would go about cleaning it later without it just being sucked up the vacuum?

Hey guys, I currently have a 15gal tank and I am looking for a 10gal or larger because my platies keep having babies and I'd love to keep them. I was just wondering when I cycle my new tank can I take half the old fish tank water then fill the rest up with treated tap water for the rest and cut...
