I got Aqueon color enhancing flakes and Lemon Tetras didn't like it. Then I got Omega One color enhancing-almost same result. Neither would get very soft when wet. I had to break it in small pieces so they could get it in their tiny mouths. Last night I found Ocean Nutrition Spirulina flakes...

I ordered 2 of these for my 2.5 and 5.5 gallon tanks. I've seen it advertised as 60 liters/hour and 60 gallons/hour. Anyone know which it is? I'd guess 60 gph because 60 lph is almost nothing.

These are for the new 20 long I'm going to set up for Cardinal Tetras, but thought I'd put them on the 20 long I have going now. I never liked the hinge on the glass tops. It blocks light to the front and doesn't allow me to put the light exactly where I want it. This top is 2 custom cut pieces...

On my other tanks I brush painted the back. But on the new 20 long I want to spray. I can't find Krylon Fusion at Home Depot or Lowe's. A Home Depot employee recommended Rust Oleum 2X. Is it good for glass? If not what is?

I want to get some rigid clear tubing and 90 degree elbows to route the end of the intake tube on the other side of the tank. Anyone know where I can get that?

A few years ago I bought some Tahitian Moon sand. It was beautiful but was nearly impossible to vacuum without sucking out the sand. I swore I'd never have sand again. I was in Petco and saw their brand of sand. It's a little bit larger than the other stuff I had. Has anyone used it? I may get a...

This is the extra stand i have for my next tank project. It's the rectangular tubing model I got at Petco or Petsmart a few years ago. There are 4 switches. One is for the interior light and the other 3 control select outlets for heaters, filters, and air pump(s). I had much of the supplies in...

So a 29 has 45% more water than a 20L. But 0% more surface area. So can you stock a 29 with 45% more fish or is it closer to 0%?

I have an AquaClear 50 on one side of the 20 long. Since the tank is so long, I got an AquaClear 20 for the other side just to get some water flowing on the left side(and use it to help cycle my next tank). I didn't put carbon in the second filter-just the pad and the bio ball thingies. Should I...

When I got them they wouldn't eat the cheap flake food I had. So I got Omega One color flakes. They go to the top a little bit to get them, but mostly want to steal the shrimp pellets from the Corys. And they're teaching the Emperor Tetras to do the same thing! I've been putting the flakes in...

Yesterday when I got them I fed everyone frozen Spirulina Brine Shrimp and they loved it. Tonight I went with the Aqueon Color Enhancing Tropical Flakes and they wouldn't eat-kept spitting it out. The Lemons decided they wanted the Shrimp Pellets I feed to the Corys. What can I buy for daily...

My tank is cycled, so I added 6 hi fin red Serpae Tetras. Should have done my research. I later found out that they have a rep for fin nipping despite the LFS employee stating they'd be OK with Emperors and Corys. When I added the Emperors last week, the larger ones would chase the smaller ones...

Decided on White Clouds instead of cherry shrimp or ADFs. I was experimenting with different colored bulbs. This lighting probably wouldn't support live plants, but I don't have any in there(yet).

Is this for new members or is it standard operating procedure for everyone?

I've been looking to get some. The owner a few days ago said he was expecting them in a few weeks. Today I went to get some Bleeding Heart Tetras, and there were the Emperors! So I got 5. My tank is in the nitrite part of the cycle, so I'm checking the water daily and prepared to do 25-30% WCs...

My heater is due for replacement. It's a few years old now and it's keeping the tank at 78 deg regardless of thermostat setting. I'd like to get one with an external thermostat. Which brand is the best? Or should I consider a thermostat controller that the heater plugs into?

I've got a 2.5 and I want to keep ADFs in it. How many max? And is hard tap water with a PH of 8.2 good or do I need to mix RO water with it?

Hi. I'm Bill. My 20 long was sitting in the garage for about 2 years since I shut down my aquariums. Decided to start it up again! Got 4 Corys while it cycles. I'll do frequent partial water changes till it cycles so amm and nit leves don't get too high. That's the way I cycled it last time and...
