like so many of you that i have been following along for the past little over a year, I have decided to start a thread with all my tanks to keep it in one place. I was about to update my 5.5 gallon thread and decided it would be best to just consolidate them all into one. but before i get...

So it looks like me and the mrs are going to change the 25 into a Shellie tank From my research I'm seeing that I can do about 5-9 fish depending on which I go with, is this accurate? And also for hard scape is lace rock and slate acceptable? And lastly where is the best place to order these...

Hey guys, tonight after work I'm planning on changing over to a dirted tank in my 10g Here is how it looks now The floramax has started to run out of nutrients it seems though as plant growth has started to slow so I figure now is a good time to try the dirted method Plans are for a...

Hello, I'm in the process of re setting my 29g tank up, the plan is to have a lot of small schooling fish in there with no larger fish Then I thought, wouldn't it be awesome to have some ghost or red cherry shrimp in there! I have been dosing Api lead zone for the plants though and I am...

So for some reason I can't seem to get this gosh darn Java fern to not die on me! I have had one for the last year in various tanks, 29, 25, 10, 5.5 and it always seems to die on me no matter where I put it I'll have one little bunch survive and have some other rizomes shoot off it but it...

So I'm not going to lie, after a couple hours of researching diy co2, it doesn't seem worth the trouble. is it really worth it to go through that hassle every week? I found on eBay where I could get the regulator, bubble counter, and diffuser for about $50 all together, am I missing something...

So I'm reworking my 29 gallon and I'm thinking about upgrading to a canister filter, does anyone have a recommendation on a good sized one for that small of a tank? I was thinking of a fluval 406 but I think it may be overkill Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I finally got rid of some fish that were pretty much dumped on my doorstep and needed a way bigger tank, so I'm going to reclaim my 29 gallon and I figured it would be fun to get some input from you guys Two 30 inch t5 daylight fixtures No co2 Tahitian moon sand And this piece of driftwood...

I have had a 25 gallon tall aquarium for about six months now. I recently upgraded to a planted plus led from fluorescents and the algae problem isn't as bad as it was before, but it is still an issue. It's growing on my plant leaves and hurting their growth visibly now and I'm at a loss on...

I was hoping someone here would have some advice on a co2 system that would be a good fit for a smaller tank and also advice on either the fluval plant led or the small planted plus Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Haven't had any luck getting this identified on the cichlid forum so I'll try here This guy was in a bucket at the Petsmart my girlfriend works at and the person who brought it in said it was a jewel cichlid but it doesn't look like one If anyone has any idea what it is I would greatly...
