    Sad day :(

    So I started this little rimless 10g with ghost shrimp and 4 Scarlet gem badis, I was mainly using RO water so it was working great, I found out that the badis love blackworms and they seemed accustom to the tank... so today I come home and I only have 1...... I didn't pay a lot of attention...

    Need a black plant substrate

    So I used eco complete, a mix of red and black in my big tank along with some gravel and it looks cool but not really what I'm going for in this nano. With the nano changing out the substrate wouldn't be such a nightmare so I'm open to whatever. I have a 7.5g I am scrapping and transferring...

    Seachem Aquavitro?

    So I keep seeing this stuff and I have been wondering what "stuff" I should put in my planted tanks. So I have a little 7.5g with a bunch of plants, using RO water with Replenish, Fluval stratum, the little Fluval Mini C02 system and I also dose Flourish. Then I have my big 150g with Jungle...

    Tank idea with inverts

    So I'm thinking about a Electric blue crayfish, some shrimp, a zebra pleco (the cheap ones not a real one) and either some CPD's, Badis badis or Scarlet gem badis in like a 20 long would this be good? Can shrimp be kept with a crayfish? I'm going to use RO water. How big do zebra plecos get...

    Starting a brackish tank?

    Thinking of keeping Figure 8 Puffers or GSP's, maybe some other compatible brackish fish, figure its something most people don't do. Obviously reefs wont work and plants wont work so what do you do? Is brackish easier or harder than full SW? Also I'm guessing the salinity doesn't have to be...

    Need an RO unit

    So my LFS sells the Coralife units, the 24 and 50gpd but the aquatic-life ones are way cheaper... why? I really like my aquaticlife T5, seems great should I just go for the AL 50gpder? On the coralife ones whats 3 stage vs 4 stage and is a pump necessary? How many GPD do I need?

    Piece together or all in one Nano?

    So I've wanted to do a SW tank for a while and I know smaller ones are harder to keep but at the same time I would like a tank in my room. What I'm wondering is are all these all in one nano tanks (Biocube, JBJ, Marine Inovations, Fluval) really that great? First, what is it about SW that makes...

    LED lights for open/rimless tanks

    So I have an Aqueon modular LED and its great with 2 daylights and 1 colormax but it can't be run over an open tank and my glass hoods get dirty and block the light and I like looking down into the tank.

    Rimless bow front or high clarisy/low Fe

    So I haven't scene any tanks that are both... Should I go for the Ehiem aqua style 9/35, the Aqua top 14g rimless bow front or a Mr. Aqua/Aqua top square tank thats high clarity? I can't decide.

    Does anyone have the new Fluval 45 Bow or a Studio/Vicenza set up?

    How do you like it? I really like how the bottom is drilled on the studio and Vicenza, but the 45B is frameless which is pretty darn neat, and its a lot cheaper but it only comes with a C4 and crappy LED hood which I wouldn't even use... make a rimless tank and include a cheap crappy hood with...

    Waterfall, paludarim/tank no idea where to start

    So I have had this dream for a while, before I even knew what paludariums and vivariums and stuff even were. I want a waterfall scene about the fishtank going into the fishtank or maybe have it totally enclosed in the tank or have one small tank flowing into another with fish from the same...

    Rimless Planted Nano tank

    So I want to do a planted rimless desktop type tank for my room. I have a hillstream tank and my 150g community tank. I'm thinking about the 7.9g Fluval flora, the 5g Flual spec or Chi or the 6g (6.6) Fluval Edge or Chi. Anything else I should consider? I would consider something wall...

    I need 3 T5HO's, 3 or maybe 4 but must me individually controlled

    K I can't find an LED or a T5 fixture with the perfect PAR. Tank is 48x24x31 so I need it spread out. I don't want a siesta period, I want to have the light on all day, mostly just one and then like 5-8 hours of more direct sunlight (all 3 T5's) The Aquatic life 4 T5H0 light does 73par @ 24"...

    White stringy poop? Rainbow not eating

    So this is some kind of internal parasite? What do I do? Fish hasn't been eating for about 5 days and I just noticed the poo. All I can find is Paragaurd and Tetra Parasite guard will those work? What about general cure? Does Temp work like with ick?

    K I can't find an LED or a T5 fixture with the perfect PAR. Tank is 48x24x31 so I need it spread out. The Aquatic life 4 T5H0 light does 73par @ 24" (to much) and isn't wide enough to cover the whole tank so I got a 6 fixture thinking I could take like light 2 and 5 or 3 and 4 out and still run...

    I have 150g, planning on a fairly heavily planted low tech, I have 3 jungle val and just added 2 crypts from petsmart... will see how they do. Eco complete for substrate. I used a bottle for FLuval stuff up but thought it was kind of gimmicky and didn't say what was in it so I got some...

    What do these water tests mean?

    So I got a full water test kit when setting up my 150 and I tested my 29 at like 80ppm nitrates because I had not don't a water change in a while and was curious, I tested it a couple more times at around 40ppm. I do water changes now on a weekly basis and just tested everything to see. My 20g...
