Hello all! I searched through the existing threads and couldn't find the answer to my question. We are starting our very first SW tank, a 12 gallon Nano cube, still in the very early planning/startup stages. We had purchased a bag of Hawaiian black sand just for the appearance, which we have not...

How long have you had them? I know there are differing opinions on this, but I had corys in a gravel tank and just kept losing them. I noticed they all seemed to have worn barbels. I bought a new tank and tried sand just for something different, and moved my last remaining cory [emoji17] into...

My thermometer is easily detachable, I just hold it in the running water and adjust the temp bit by bit until it matches what the tank water was, then fill my bucket. If I can get it within a degree I'm happy. FWIW :)

The new shrimp in the tank seem to be doing fine, so if it was the copper it seems the level has disseminated enough. I had put both doses in the first bucket of replacement water, maybe that was too concentrated for him. Right now I just have some anubias and a very small amount of java moss...

Hi all, I have a 29 g tank with 7 white cloud mtn minnows, two bushynosed plecos and multiples of their offspring, four julii corys and now about four rcs. I keep hearing about how easy shrimp are to keep and that they breed like crazy, but I am now on my third infusion of shrimp and they keep...
