Hello, I have had my tank set up for well over a year and a half. I have been tinkering around with DIY C02 in coke bottles and a DIY CO2 reactor. From what I had read in my KH test kit and some things on the net, I found that you can use the KH readings and PH results to measure the...

Here are some pics of my 55 gal I am still in the starting phase after the cycle. I would love to hear some constructive critizism on the tank (not the pics, I am a learning photogropher).

Is there a wrong way or right way to pruning some fast grouwing plants? I am playing around with some stem plants I have (sorry I will have to get the names later). I simply but them with a sissors and 'replanted'. Is this right???

Quick question..... How long does it take for the bioload to adjust after adding fish to a tank. I realize this will be different for different situations. This is mine: I had the tanks cycled (ammonia at 0 and nitrites at 0). I added two dwarf gouramis and noticed no real spike in ammonia...

Hello all, I have been surfing through these forums for awhile. I have seen that a lot of people are set on the pythons. At first I had no clue what this was... I did a search and found that this is used to clean the tank, remove water, and fill the tank. I think this could be a huge item to...

Hello all, Its me again. I posted a while back in the saltwater forums. I am currently in the process of cycling a freshwater tank now. I found saltwater to be very rewarding but I think I was lacking in money to do what I really wanted to do. Long story short, I came back to freshwater...

Has anyone created their MH lighting system themselves? Got any instrucitons? I was looking into doing this myself but got confused on what type of ballast I should buy and what type of lamp would fit this. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Doug
