Hi there, I'm looking to buy a seeded filter sponge for boosting a new tank. Thanks!

I currently have an 80 gallon planted tank with sand substrate. I'm using the Marineland Double-Bright LED light. I love the look it throws, but it's not working for my plants. The bottom plants are doing okay, but I wouldn't say they're thriving. Anytime I've put floating plants like...

Does anyone have any advice for putting the plastic strip onto a glass canopy such as this one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QP60KU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I currently have them on my big aquarium and I recall it being a pain. Am currently struggling to add it to my...

Once the suction gets going I turn the water off. My hose is 50 feet.

If you're going to do it bucket by bucket, I would treat each bucket.

I finally did the cleaning yesterday. No spilled water, thanks so much for the tips everyone. My only frustration is that when I first tried to open up the lid, there was a vacuum seal and I couldn't get it off. Marineland really has some crappy instructions in their manual and doesn't clearly...

I have an 80 gallon tank that prompted me to get a python. It's the best investment I ever made for my tank. Definitely don't regret having one!

When I add new fish, I usually do it after feeding the current inhabitants and then also keep the lights low to minimize stress. I've never had a problem.

Every morning my lovely barbs and my gourami (the sole survivor from the illness my gouramis had a couple of months ago) greet me just like this. They swarm the area in the tank where I feed them. Love it!

I have the Marineland C530. http://www.marineland.com/Products/aquarium-filters-and-protein-skimmers/c-series-canister-filters-aquarium-canister-filter.aspx

Hello everyone, Looking for advice for canister filter maintenance. It's getting to the time that I need to clean my filter for the first time. What kinds of tips do you have to not spill water all over the place? I know that I should clean the media in aquarium water to not kill the...

My blue was nesting prior to the deaths of all the others. They got some weird sickness that ONLY affected my gouramis. My tiger barbs and cories were all fine.

I just placed an order for 1 male flame dwarf, 3 female flame dwarfs, and 3 female blue dwarfs. Some of you may remember my fiasco a little while with all my gouramis dying, save for one. My male blue dwarf is thriving and doing fantastic. I moved him 2 weeks ago back to the big aquarium...

In the big tank I have 10 tiger barbs and 4 Cory catfish. I had 7 gouramis but they all got sick and died save for one.

I never updated when this cycle was complete. I added fish after I had zero ammonia and nitrite for several days in a row. Tank is super healthy and fish are thriving.

I treated my hospital tank last week with Triple Sulfa because I had some really sick gouramis. After the treatment was over I put carbon in the filter and did a pwc. How long should I leave the carbon in for? What are typical next steps after med treatment?

He is doing so much better! Still some ways to go, but he's looking really great. The wounds are starting to heal.

The female died this morning :( The male looks like he's doing much better though! He's using his fin that he had clamped! He's been eating and swimming around, and then periodically resting. Here's to hoping that he recovers. The sore on his side still looks rather gross, but hoping it heals.

Yes my 80 gallon is pretty new. I just moved the fish there 2 weeks ago after I finished a fishless cycle. Prior to that, I had them in my 29 Gallon. I've still been monitoring daily and have never seen an ammonia spike, although that doesn't mean I couldn't have missed one. I raised the...

They alternate between being active and lethargic or resting on the bottom of the tank. Currently the male is swimming around and ate a little bit, but the female is laying in some plants on the bottom :(

My powder blue male now has a really nasty lesion on his left gill and the fin is clamped on that side. Is this iridovirus or something else I can treat? Little history, last week I lost my flame dwarf male gourami with no visible signs of illness (outwardly). He died very quickly in the span...

The tank is done cycling. I used Prime to dechlorinate and it will show a touch of ammonia because it locks the free ammonia. So far everyone else is fine I have four more Gouramis.

I had 2 more flame dwarf females who died overnight. One of them I knew was probably going to pass. She had the same symptoms as my male. I found her hanging out by the heater, although earlier in the day she was hanging out on the bottom (not crashed) but didn't want to leave the area and it...

Thanks for the info, I've added a dosage to my main tank. Unfortunately my male died this afternoon :(

I have a red flame dwarf gourami that is currently very stressed and not acting right. I believe he may have been attacked by my other male, but am not positive. I removed him from the main tank and put him in quarantine. He's been swimming vertically near the surface of the tank or resting...
