I've got 4 freshwater tanks, a 125g reef and an indoor turtle pond. On my 55g freshwater tanks I run both an Eheim canister and an Aquaclear hob, but just a AC hob on my 20 g tanks (clawed frog and axolotl) I love that they... pull a lot of gunk out are really easy to clean are fairly cheap I...

Hi everyone, I appreciate all the help you've shared over the years, and just thought I'd share my journey and advice :) I currently have: - 60 g turtle pond (1 pond cooter with 2 gold fish) - 55 g community (3 angels, 12 black skirt tetras and 4 sterbai corydoras) - 125 g mbuna which will be...

I have 2 tanks and a turtle pond that I'm looking to add some plants and liking for suggestions. All 3 have a sand substrate. 1. 60 gallon with angels, cory cats, and black skirt tetras. It has about half a dozen Amazon swords and a few anubia nana ange drift wood. I add root tabs but the...

Okay, so I was looking for tank mates for my angels and cory cats in a 60 gallon. Added 12 black skirt tetras yesterday and after adding then noticed one little silver-white spot on one of the tetras. Today there are multiple spots on more than one :( The worst part is that I have a 10 g...

Beautifully done 5 minute Lake Malawi video on youtube I came across. https://youtu.be/D1bzV3H6kUk

Just sharing pictures of my new fish :) picked up 2 bangai cardinals, a bicolor blenny and a pistol shrimp. They were out of watchman gobies, so I will have to wait on that one. No picture of the shrimp as went straight under a rock. The blenny is hiding under my candy cane plug and sticks his...

Looking for something new that would fit... I have 4 angelfish and 4 sterbai cories in a 60g... The angels are full size, about 2 years old. I have read that neon or cardinals might get eaten while others say no problems... Does anyone have any experience? Just thinking a flash of color in...

I've only checked for nitrogen in my 125g mbuna tank and always keep parameters great < 5ppm nitrates. I picked up a phosphate test for my saltwater tank and figured I might as well test my freshwater tanks as well. My mbuna tank was at the top of the range, 5-10 ppm. I was surprised since...

So I have 3 freshwater aquariums (125g African mbuna, 60g Angelfish/Cory Cat, and 20g African Clawed frog). I have been wanting to do a saltwater tank but it is a bit intimidating :) I want to throw out a plan to see if it is feasible, lightly stocked fowlr, with the ability to eventually maybe...

I'm looking for suggestions for stocking a 60 gallon! This is my third tank (MTS), but it is always fun to plan the stocking phase :) I just upgraded my mbuna to a 125 gallon that were previously in the 60 g. I love my African cichlids and happy to get the acei some more swimming space. I also...

Replaces a 60g so I need to get some more rocks :) 6 acei, 5 demasoni and 3 yellow labs... Will look to add a few more labs and demasoni. Now I have an empty 60 g that I get to stock :D Thinking maybe a tiger barb tank, possibly with some kuhli loaches.

I currently have a 60 g mbuna tank and have an unused 20g long. My daughter would like a frog so I was thinking of getting a few African dwarf frogs. Can anyone recommend some tank mates? Was thinking maybe some kuhli loaches, a betta and/or a group of small schooling fish like neons or...

Had my aquarium for a little over a year and had the power go out for 12 hours one night this week :( I have a heavily overstocked tank after 8 hours started getting nervous, but followed online suggestions and didn't feed the fish, cleaned my canister, and agitated the water. My room temp was...

I just cleaned my eheim for the first time after running it for about 6 months and it was pretty filthy. I've heard good things about purigen. If I buy that and the mesh bag, this would replace my mechanical media and I keep the current bio ball media? Any one a fan of it? A critic? I'm have...

I bought two anubias (nana and congensis) as that seemed to be the most recommended plant with mbuna. Have had them about 3 months. The congensis seems to be healthy and starting a couple small shoots, but the nana is getting some holes and frayed edges. I haven't seen the fish eating at them...

It was from a petco cichlid brochure but doesn't say what it is. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hello everyone, I have a 160 gph eheim can filter for my 60g African tank and am looking to get a sponge filter that can moved to a 20g qt tank when needed. Never used an air pump or sponge filter before. My canister it's totally quiet so I was curious how much noise it is going to make...

Ok, just set up a 60g Malawi tank with Yellow Lab, Acei and Demasoni. Multi-tank syndrome has set in... :facepalm::fish2: My first thought was to get a 40g with maybe 15 or so tiger barbs with a SAE, would be cool to have a schooling tank and I think they are pretty with the stripes. But, as...

Ok, maybe a dumb idea and would defeat the purpose of a qt tank, but I was thinking of getting a 10g qt tank and figured if i am setting up a second tank it would be nice to have more than just an empty tank. Plus it will have the advantage off being established/cycled. Any ideas? 3...

Hello all, as I am finishing my fishless cycle I'm having trouble deciding on what to stock. I like the blue and yellow color combo that is so popular, but really just would like some nice fish that don't all kill each other. Attached is a picture of my 60 gallon tank in case you think...

It's been about 18 days and still have 0 nitrates, 0 nitrates. Running about 4ppm ammonia. Ph about 8.0 all using api master kit. The only thing I can think of is maybe the rocks I washed with bleach solution I didn't properly rinse and enough and chlorine got in to the tank to prevent the...

Hello everyone, great forum here! Other than having a 10g tank as a kid, I'm new to the hobby and on-line it seems like there is conflicting info on cichlids, especially regarding stocking. I just bought this 60 gallon tank/stand from Petsmart and am planning on using it for a Mbuna African...
