Would this be considered "high light" for a 55g? Sent from my 0PJA2 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm skeptical because it would be unintentional breeding on my part and we have hard alkaline water. No pine coning present. Sorry for the poor picture quality she's quick. If she is I need pointers on what to do and when. Sent from my 0PJA2 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I live in the central Oklahoma area. I'm willing to drive halfway to pick up in some cases. Let me know what you have available and I will make you an offer. This is for an Oscar, so I won't be taking animals with the tank.

Its hard to see because he won't cooperate. Digestion doesn't seem to be an issue. He is eating and behaving normally. Tank deets on my profile. He is in my 20g planted. I've already tried a QT for two weeks fasting beside mashed peas with zero change. Anyone seen this before? Any input welcome.

I have 2 fixtures over my 55g with these bulbs. I want to know if there is a better bulb out there to get my juvenile Oscar to show more color? I have low light plants, so I've never considered upgrading for that purpose, but he really looked beautiful just now when we shined a brighter light in...

Got this little guy/girl about 2 weeks ago. About 3 inches if that right now. We are growing him out alone in our 55g. I was wondering how long he could comfortably stay in this tank? Will probably get a 75 or 90g when the time comes. He already knows us and follows us around the tank. We love...

Here is what I like that seems to work with what I have already. Open to suggestions always! I'd like to keep the final stock choices in this tank. No room to upgrade in the near future. 55g 2 Aqueon QuietFlow 50 Heat 77F Black Caribsea sand substrate Going for all rock scape with limestone and...

Hi night owls. Back before I realized dwarf hairgrass was not compatible with my lighting I was dosing my 20g weekly with Flourish. Haven't done it since. Now I have lovely brown algae. Pretty much having to wipe leaves off every other week. Is there a correlation? I let my lights run 6-8 hours...

Needing some help with a parasitic infection? I've only treated ich so my knowledge is limited. I'm reading this is a problem with this particular fish apparently. Poop is white or clear, large amounts. I noticed it weeks ago so I stopped feeding shelled peas once a week thinking it was that. I...

Is this the best way to start out in salt water? I'm not seeing a lot of articles specifically for nanos out there. I'm wanting to do a 10 gallon. I know smaller tanks are harder to keep balanced, but going any larger starting out scares me. Cost is a concern. I'm probably going to spend the...

How would I adjust the flow rate on this unit??

Ok. This is my 20g planted. I've been treating for ich for 7 days with temp set to 86 with daily 25-50% wc and vacuuming, no salt. Stock is 12 neons (only a few with bad fins), 5 zebra danios, 4 peppered cories, 1 male dwarf gourami, 2 ADF, 1 assassin snail. The few neons are the only ones with...

1 male Dwarf Gourami. Had him about a week. No I didn't QT. No tank for it. This is a 20g planted. Params are ammonia 0 trites 0 trates 20. I do 50-75% wc weekly. Water temp 75. Other stock 12 neon, 5 zebra danios, 1 clown pleco, 1 assassin snail, 2 ADF. No one else seems to be effected. Never...

Decided to get your opinions. I'm new to cichlids. After much researching, I want to use juveniles. The guy at the new lfs I tried today (so not gonna trust him just yet, amazing cichlids though) says I could house 15 total peacocks in my 55. Then he walked me through how to add them. His...

Should I pull my Goldie out while the assassin clears out the ponds? Or will they be ok? The apple is about 1.5 inches and the assassin is .5 inches or so. Sent from my EVO using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a planted 20g tank with low light only plants. I will be gone for three days. I don't have a timer. Lights on or off? Sent from my EVO using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Project planning. In about a month I'm getting an up and running from my awesome uncle Rob! Fluorescents, 2 filters (he didn't specify what kind). Its not a cube, but I'm not sure about exact dimensions. I'm assuming some other odds and ends will be up for grabs. He has been growing out a local...

Hi. I have eco complete substrate in a 20g tall. I'm planning on having a school of corys and currently have 1 neon (left ) 5 zebra danios, and 2 ADF. Very low light LED that came with the tank. I'm wanting a ground cover look. Don't want it growing vertically. I mistakenly planted dwarf...

Hey, just wondering if anyone has had success with a school of male dwarf gourami? I just don't want to risk having fry I cannot house or move. I was thinking 5 or so. I'm working on getting my tank heavily planted so they would have spots to call their own. Its a 20g tall. All comments much...

Hey all. I have a 20g tall with a Marineland penguin 150 HOB. Aqadvisor says for the stock I'm planning I should add more filtration. I can add a second 150 for $25. My question is what are the benefits? It doesn't change anything except increases the percentage of filtration capacity for my...

Just looking for descriptions from others on how you "mow the grass". How often, how short? Tools? Mine is getting tall, but I read trimming helps it spread and thicken faster. Thanks! Sent from my EVO using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok, proper thread to start off right ;) Here we are today. Ammonia 0.5, trites 0 trates 5-10. To do list this week: paint background black, add driftwood piece, rework plants, add river rocks (small) and another 5 lbs eco complete, 10 if I can find another 5lb bag. That level is just too low...

I'm considering a dwarf species for my new 20g planted. My question is about the floating plants I've read they prefer in their environment. Is it a necessity? What types are easiest that will grow horizontally? Thanks! Sent from my EVO using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I want a new one. Bigger one. At least a 20 gallon. Aqueon, Fluval, Top Fin......what do you guys like best? Does it matter? Sent from my EVO using Aquarium Advice mobile app

We found our Goldie floating out of his shell yesterday morning. Pristine tank. My ivory snail is fine. Didn't even know Goldie was sick, very active both of them. How long do they typically live? Its a betta tank waiting on my betta to arrive from Thailand. We have 2 ADF in the tank as well...
