No shocker, but I'm bored with my 90g freshwater. I don't want to invest in plants and would rather do a saltwater tank. To start I plan on doing a fish only tank with live rock and live sand and eventually down the road invest in lighting for coral. I have the materials to build my own sump...

I'm debating on converting my freshwater to saltwater. Currently my setup is relatively minimal. 90g tank on stand Cascade canister 1000 filter 4 port air bubbler 2 48" fluorescent tube lights on timer Not sure what I would need to convert it and keep costs low. Not too upset if it becomes...

So I noticed today that I had these little balls stuck all over my fish tank today and my blue snail cleaning them off. I quickly realized that they were most likely cory eggs from my juliis. I was able to get off the tank so they weren't snail food anymore and moved them into a smaller...

So I got these cobra guppies and they were great for a short bit. Then they started dying, one every couple days. Checked levels and they were fine. Well, four of them have passed on and one yellow monster remains. It seems he may have killed the rest of them because he shows no signs of...

Since starting my 10g planted tank I have added fancy guppies and Amano shrimp. The shrimp are doing great and I'm picking out shrimp skin every couple days, gross. The fancy guppies on the other hand aren't doing as well. They were fine the first couple of days, but then they started dying...

In case you didn't know, petco is having their $1/gallon sale right now in the Phoenix area.

So I started my first planted tank....ever.... It is a 10 gallon tank, no fish/shrimp at this time. I am planning on getting some shrimp this weekend and put some fancy guppies in there as well. My substrate is floura max, bulbs are color max mini fluorescent and 5100k aquarium lamp...

So as I scour the forums here, I notice a lot of the planted tanks are around 15 gallons or so. Anybody have 60+ gallon planted tank? I would like to put real plants in my tank and start lulling out the fake plants. My lighting is 2 4ft T12 6500k 40 watt bulbs. I have DHG in there now, but it...

So I was checking out aq advisor and was wondering what I should add next. I put some opaline gouramis in there and quickly realized that wouldn't work and took them back to the store. Here's what I have so far...

So I've had one julii Cory for a while now, with 4 emerald Corys. Well today I went and finally got some friends, 2 more julii Corys. Shortly after adding the newbies, the one I've had goes up to one of the new ones send starts shaking like crazy. Is that a sign of potential babies in the not...

Story time! So I bought my wife a 36 gallon bow for some fat goldfish but she hasn't used it yet. I just set it up as a QT and put a couple emerald corydoras in there because they worry me. One of the looks like he has cloudy white splotches and the other isn't very active. I have 2 other...

My father in law has a 29g freshwater tank with some unknown growth on his fake plants. There was more before, but he cleaned off the plants and most went away. He is going to clean the plants again to get rid of the rest of it, but wanted to know what it is and prevent it from returning. It...

So I'm thinking of setting up a CO2 system for my tank as I would like to move towards real plants and away from fake plants. My current setup is 90 gallon tank with 2 four foot 6500k fluorescent tubes. I add micro and macro plant food and co2 booster every morning and have my lights on a...

My driftwood has something growing on it. I bought a couple snails, but they don't seem to want to eat the growth. Do I need to take the dw out and scrub it down? My other thought is to get a small algae eater, like an oto, but would they eat that stuff? Tank is 90 fresh community, ph 8 amm...

So after looking at various threads throughout the forums here, I see the common suggested centerpiece fish is either a ram or dwarf gourami. Would it be possible to share knowledge of other centerpiece fish, if they should be solo paired or either, recommended tank size and temperament...

So my tank ph is currently 8. Every care sheet i read seems to recommend a ph between 7.0-7.5 for fish that I am really interested in. I do have driftwood in my tank currently, but it is relatively small to the size of the tank, not sure how much of a difference it is really having right now...
