    Coffee table tank

    I have recently seen a coffee table tank on CL. It looks like a big glass square, with a slightly larger glass top. My questions are how would one filter such a tank, and how would you light it?

    For Sale: Gammarus shrimp

    I actually just posted a question about these. Are they as good as I hear they are? Someone on a facebook group says they can triple the life of filter bio because they eat the waste. I would love for something to "help" maintain my tank

    Question about Gammarus Shrimp

    I am a member of a facebook group and someone is selling Gammarus Shrimp. He says they are great for tanks, eating the dead matter in the filter media and the tank. I couldnt think of a better place to confirm this info than here before I go and buy 50 of these little things lol. Any...

    In/outside pond.

    How do people keep the Koi/goldfish in ponds outdoors? Are there special heaters/coolers made for them? This is what I wanted to keep with a viewing window from the basement. No actual access from the basement just a window that wouls be flush with the interior wall.

    In/outside pond.

    I have a dream that one day I would love to see fulfilled. A pond that would be mostly outside, with a viewing area visible from a basement. Probably something like 3 ft tall and 5 ft wide almost like a window. Any thoughts on potential problems?

    Rock retaining walls and caves -cheap

    How can you tell if it is aquarium safe silicone? I saw this post and was struck with the idea to make hollow pillars a few inches tall to fill with gravel and plant my swords in them. And possibly a waterfall above the tank.

    Rosy Red Minnows

    I just wanted some opinions on what everyone else thought of them. I saved a little turtle from horrible tank conditions and now have him and 10 minnows in a tank together and they look great. I dont know if the turtle is trying to eat them but its funny to watch them dart at and away from him...

    Garbage Bag backgrounds?

    Just did this today to my 40G quarter round. Wow what a difference it makes. I now plan on getting some acrylic paint and painting it black just because there are some wrinkles in the bag. The fish really pop off the background now

    Help stock my 20G

    Understandable. Im sure some people would disagree with me keeping everything in a 40 but my water levels are perfect and I have over 200 gph of filtration on my tank.

    Help stock my 20G

    My danios seem fine but the little ol cory seems lonely heh. He does hang with the GBR alot, and my molly fry at times though.

    Help stock my 20G

    Oh no! My tank is a 40G quarter round tank.

    Help stock my 20G

    I would use AqAdvisor - Intelligent Freshwater Tropical Fish Aquarium Stocking Calculator and Aquarium Tank/Filter Advisor over the 1" rule. But even aqadvisor can be off sometimes. Punching in your list came up at 105% stock which I feel isnt bad at all if youre tank is fully planted. But, it...

    Fake Driftwood vs. Real Driftwood in the planted tank

    So the mopani pieces over in the "reptile" area are fine for aqauriums?? I was looking at them one day and i was quickly persuaded away from them because they arent for fish is what i was told.

    Black mollies in planted freshwater tank

    I think its a universal agreement by any fish keeper with some knowledge that no fish should be kept in a 10G heh

    New fish, brings new questions.

    Water was tested the moment I got back yes. Also, in addition to the canister filter I have 2 HOB filters, 1 rated for 50 gallons 1 rated for 60. My tank is 40G so I dont think too much went bad bacteria wise

    New fish, brings new questions.

    So, im sorry i didnt respond sooner but your questions prompted me to investigate, and I just found my canister filter unplugged. I was gone for 5 days. I have now been told that at the end of day 2, the heater in my canister filter malfunctioned and had my tank up over 94 F. So the person I had...

    New fish, brings new questions.

    Had a few losses last week, was on vacation and the person I had feeding my fish forgot the betta pellets so I lost my 4 bettas. Very upsetting, but I have since saved a new 3 from the tortures of the pet store plastic cups. When I was in the store I took a trip past the fish wall, and spotted...

    Diatoms in Newly Cycled Tank

    I had brown diatoms in my tank for about a month until I added live plants. Whether it was adding the plants or just the time frame I don't know. I like to think the plants won-out and ate all the plant food

    What is this??

    I got my tank in August. I had fake plants in it until Mid-October when I took out all of the fake plants and added the tank full of live ones. If the root tabs are a must I will begin now lol. As you can see from my timeframe Im still quite new to this. How does one DIY a root tab? Would you...
