Hey everyone! Starting up a CO2 system finally for my ADA 17 gallon tank and I've read and heard many things on what to buy for the setup, I just wanted to make sure/double-check that I have everything needed! - GLA GRO CO2 REGULATOR - Not sure if I should get this Nano CO2 drop checker for...

I woke up this morning to see my GBR laying on the bottom of the tank in this position. I've monitored her actions for about 1-2hours and it's still the same! She's been breathing kind of fast and shes looking really pale, but her colors are still bright (the blue parts). She also has this...

I recently picked up a 20g long and currently i have a 10g. I picked up a new filter, some new sand substrate, new decorations. Can someone tell me a guide on how to safely transfer everything with out starting a new cycle in my 20g? What do i need to do to keep my fish safe in my 10g while...

Dear Community, Seems like my water sprites and amazon swords are starting to turn brownish. I was wondering what would be a good light source for a 10 gallon tank? I do use root tabs and I do already have a light source, but I'm not sure if it's even good. My light source right now is...

So I recently got a 1 Gallon Aqueon Mini Bow Tank for a back up/hospital tank. But now I'm starting to lean towards on making it a small RCS community. Does anyone know how to start up a shrimp tank? Does this 1 gallon tank need to be cycled? It comes with a small filter, would it work? Or do...

So I purchased a one gallon tank just incase my betta didn't get along with my community tank. Turns out everything turned fine and my betta (which I named Taro due to his light purple color) is super happy in his new tank. So what can I put in my one gallon tank? I was thinking of making a...

Dear Community, So as I'm doing my fishless cycle here are my speccs of the tank. -No plants -10 gallons -Heater at 75-80 degrees -Using API test kit - pH levels are 7.6+ with the basic pH test, ~7.8 with the high pH test. I'm not sure if this is a problem or it's normal, but I've been having...

So after a month of struggling with my aquarium, trying to get some nitrites and ammonia down. This week has been a miracle!! As I began this week, my ammonia was dropping very fast to about ~.50 or .25ppm from 4ppm. I had NitrAtes already which was about ~2-5ppm. My Nitrites were at 0, but 2...

Just a quick question, I'm entering my first month of fishless cycle. My ammonia started at around ~4ppm, and now has finally dropped to about ~.50ppm. I tested everyday and no NitrItes at all, but I did just test for NitrAtes and the color is like gold? It's not really at 0 or 5ppm, but maybe...

So I'm about to enter my 4th week of fishless cycling. I have not recieved any NitrIte yet. My ammonia level is about 4-5ppm using the api test kit. My ph is 7.4-7.6. My heater levels is about 85 degrees. I'm using an Aquaclear 50 hob. My question is, I recently bought a hydrosponge 1 filter...

So earlier this week as I was cycling (Fishless cycle) my aquarium, my Ammonia levels spiked up to 8.0ppm++. I'm pretty sure its over 8.0 since the API test kit doesn't show over 8.0. I have no nitrites or nitrates. I'm also on my 6th day on using Seachem Stability. So I'll be doing like a...

Does anyone have a clue on what this is?! It started growing around my sand and decoration. Tried searching on Google, but no luck! Kinda worried.. I have no fish in my tank. I am currently cycling
