So first a little history. I'm working with a 48" 55G planted. I used to have 2 smaller HOB filters set about about 8 inches from each end to get good flow in the tank. During some cleaning I... misplaced the impeller to one of them. SO instead of re-upping the HOB I went with a canister. I...

I am looking for about 5-10 sprouts of chain sword to start to plant my 55g with. If you are in the MD,DC,VA I can pickup. Otherwise shipped is ok. Echinodorus tenellus - The Free Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Encyclopedia Anyone Can Edit - The Aquarium Wiki Send PM if you have some.

I am about to get a 120g 60x18 (or something close) and just till I can afford a larger canister filter should I drop a smaller job filter (2 rated for 30-40g) to sub the canister. Or should I just trust to the one canister. Its a planted tank and I am getting it in full stride. Just draining...

I live in central maryland (Columbia) and I need a stand (just a stand) for a 55g Standard 48x12 fish tank. Please PM me asking price and I'll send you e-mail address to send picture of stand to. I'm not looking for anything fancy.

What to do with a 55 gallon tank and a 3 year old happy pleco. I'm thinking maby Angles or Discus I've always wanted both. But I don't know that they would work in such a small tank. Any suggestions

I've got a bit of an odd problem that I did not for-see. (to skip story go to paragraph 3) A good number of months ago my 55 Tigerbarb tank was all but killed off due to a backwashed Yeast CO2... no idea really, other than only the pleco and 5 of the 12 tigers survived. And even then needed...

They are taking over my smaller 20G planted tank. Yuck Yuck Yuck!!!! How do I remove them and not kill my the fish or plants in the tank. I can remove the plants without issue along with all the decore. Not all, it would be hard to remove most of the graval. Help! Tanks in good health, 14...

My wife wanted to surprise me and get me 5 more neons to go with the 7 I already had since 3 months ago when I upgraded my neon tank from a small 10G to a larger 30 Bow front. Now every day when I get up I have anther dead or almost dead neon. 30G Tank AM = 0 (Or it will not register on my...

I came home and to my surprise, my tiger barbs were breeding. In the process really. She was laying eggs and about 3 males were chasing her and doing their best to fertilize the young eggs. As I was completely un-prepared for this spawning I didn't have a tank and all that setup so. I grabbed...

I'll start this calmly......AHHHHHHHHHHH Now that is out of the way let's get to business. I came come from a long weekend spent at my fancies place and looked into my dwarf puffer tank. And saw this massive thing of what could only be described IMO as mold at the bottom. At first I could not...

Well today I looked into my tank to find the Green Tiger Barb I took in from a friend some time ago finally gave up. His fins when I got him were all messed up. I mean his dorsal fin was down to a nub, his other fins were shredded when I got him. Over the 3 months his tail had grown out just...

Ok I've been growing them in my 50G about 3 months now and they are doing good, expanding on nice long tracks of swords crises-crossing things making for a nice effect. I would like to move some over to a new tank that I'm starting. a 5G hex. Would I be best to cut the mother-plant out and...

Ok, a new 5G hex tank, I want to make it look nice, planted tank, 6500K CF light..bla bla bla... Anyways, I got a great looking tree branch that I know has been dead for some time, all dried up.. Looks to have stayed fairly dry. I've inspected it for bugs and do to it's location I'm sure no...

Ok, my new tank remodel into my new 75G is being delayed AGAIN...grrr. Anyways, I'm looking to take this next tank to the next level and go all out. And I know I don't know everything I need to do this yet. SO... I'm asking for some suggestions on some books that will give ideas and how to...

Ok, you talk about a pair of AGGRESSIVE FISH. Ok here is the tank. 50G 12 Tiger barbs (2 Inch each) 1x 4 inch Rainbow shark 1x sunshine pleco I did something I normally bark at people for. I got a fish because she though it was cute.... regardless it's not working out in my neon tank. He's...

For anyone looking to breed Tiger Barbs. Below I've posted a link that is a MUST READ for anyone looking to breed them. It's a long 35 page read but will out line everything to the letter including growth rates and sexing. (Not that the latter is hard with Tigers)...

Ok, so I've currently have a 50G tank that looks wonderful, Problem I now have a 75G tank that is empty and a new 304 canister filter to replace the HOB filter I'm using now. I was looking to try and transfer my 5 very healthy amazon sword plants that have grown in a fairly basic rock sub...

Just a snap shot this morning of the take. I though it came out good so I would post it up. 12 Tigerbarbs 1 Pl*co 1 Rinbow shark If yea want to see more http://www.compmage.net/fish1.html

Yea sounds like an article title from a bad news publication but it's true. I won't bore you all with daily numbers as I only have about 5 readings over 4 weeks. And here is my story. Some time ago I went to a pet(fill in the blank) store and grabbed two new Amazon sword plants for my planted...

Ok, I don't normally do this but a friend decided to get a few more fish for his tank some time ago. One was a green tiger barb. This tank had some other fish that did not get along with it. Mainly gourami. And got it's tail faily bitten up. I've taken him into my own care and placed him in my...

Ok, I've finally gotten around to getting the CO2 installed in my 50G planted take. How long after I start seeing regular bubble movement should start to get a CO2 reading (aka PH starts to drop). Got a dual 2L bottle setup attached to a latter that runs the bubbles for about 30 inches. Thanks

What to feed a 1.5 inch Rainbow shark?? I've got a young one that I don't think is eating, and is losing color. Turning really light color. Water conditions are below. I've been trying to feed him algae wafers but I think his tank mates, 10 tiger barbs and a small black snail have been eating...

I can't seem to find any that will let me order less then 250 bucks worth. I'm looking for a place I can get a 48" L x 20" H x 5" T Block of styrafoam. Thanks.

Ok, thanks in advanced. I've been looking at my fish. They seem to be fairly messy eaters. So I'm looking for a food that will hold it's form long enough to be eaten, but brake down afterwards so I don't have flake bits on my larger plants leaves after wards. Or something like a floating pellet...

Over stuffing the filter I have a Tetra Whisper 60 Running in a 50G tank w/ I would say 45 gallons of water. All I run in it is the floss, since I've never seen and useful results from carbon with or without plants. So I was wondering If I stuck a second floss cartage in it. Would it affect...
