I have a breeder pair of angels I have had for a while and am very attached to them. I did a cleaning on the 95 gallon wave tank they are in. I must have cleaned the filter media too heavily because I put them through a mini cycle :/ I did 25%-40% changes daily, and two a day until the ammonia...

Hey all, I have a 75 gallon with a moderate amount of plants, my algae problem has been a pain for a while now, tried to fix with CO2 and a new light cycle but no effect. I have 2 light fixtures: 48" 40W single bulb fluorescent 48" 54Wx2 dual bulb T5HO fluorescent DIY CO2 with three 2...

Show me your multiple tank setup! Like a basement filled with all sorts of tanks etc!

So I'm doing a 10 gallon dirted tank so I can get my toes wet in the planted tank world. I have plants in my other tanks but have never really gotten them to grow very well and don't fully understand their needs. I have been doing a lot of research lately and have learned a lot. First question...

So I recently got a dual fixture T5 light. I have a 75 gallon tank that I have a moderate amount of plants in. What bulbs are the best for growing plants? Currently I have a 10,000K bulb and the actinic blue light (which I know isn't the best for freshwater plants). I went to a LFS and an...

I am about to move my 75 gallon freshwater tank and I have a few concerns. First off where the tank is going to be is on a second story, I am worried about the weight. There is the tank, a 20 gallon sump, and a 5 gallon bucket for the ATO reservoir. I did a rough estimate and it all weighs...

So my girlfriend has a 20 gallon tank at her apartment and she got a redtail botia loach one night a month or two back. All it did was hide literally under some driftwood and we rarely if ever saw it. I have a 75 gallon tank and I said I would put it in my take so she can make room for a...

Just added my last piece of driftwood tonight, so I put everything in place and am planning to leave it to grow in. Using a full spectrum 40W bulb for now until I find something better (used). Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So how do you guys clean your large pieces of found driftwood? Too big for a trash can and my oven... Going to soak as much as I can and tie it down in my tank after it's clean. As for cleaning it though.

Freshwater sump, 20 gallon for 75 gal. 1 square = 1 inch

Hello all. I'm currently putting together my 75G tank with a 20G sump. The return pump I'm using is a Lifegard Aquatics 2200 Pro Series 594 GPH Submersible pump. I'm not sure what size hose to use. I would like to have enough water movement to keep my tank circulated pretty well and I don't...

Got back from vacation a few days ago and and a 7 day feeder block in and an automatic timed feeder (eheim 3581, slot half open) in my tank feeding twice a day. Each feeding had top fin tropical flakes, API tropical pellets (sinking), and sun dried baby shrimp mixed together. Excuse the potato...

So I have been piecing together a 75G freshwater tank setup. I am going to go with a classic community but I want to spice it up with some oddball fish and some larger fish. Without overcrowding, I want to have a pretty good amount of fish, I am building a 20G sump with a ~550 gph return pump to...

Saw at a restaurant, like them!

I found these little shrimp like creatures alive in my filter media, there is a bunch of them. Picture below

So I just picked up a 75gal tank from a CL deal. It is going to be my project tank so I want to buy the best parts and build it the right way. First thing I am going to put together is the sump tank for filtration. I am going to go with a 30-40 gal depending on what my local pet store has with...

Only a few fish in there right now, but they love the new plants and hiding spots.

So I have a simple question, is it ok to mix ich medication with fungal medication? It doesn't say anything about it on the directions.

Setting up a hospital tank with a 10g tank. I already picked up a sponge filter and air pump. Do I need a heater, substrate, or decor/hiding spots etc? How in depth should I go with that sort of thing? For some of the medication I know the fish will need to be there for a while, so should I...

I have a 20G freshwater community with 10 fish in it. I started out the tank with bottled water and have been using my well water to do water changes. Recently I had a fish die when I was out for a weekend and did a full change when I got back using all well water. The water was crystal clear...
