    Sump overflow box

    I am upgrading to a 55 gal and want to use my 20 for a sump. I am looking at overflow boxes since the tank I have is not drilled. What kind of flow rate do I need to look at. There is an eshopps pf nano overflow box I was looking at online rated at 200 gph. Will this be enough? Can I use my...

    Building 55 gal stand

    I have looked at some commercially available stands and honestly I'm not impressed at what you get for the money. I'm still on the fence about the center brace. 600lbs is just a lot of weight to hold indefinitely and I want to make sure what I make will last. Surfnturf 5 discus 1 german...

    Building 55 gal stand

    I'm planning on building a 55 gal stand. I'm going to frame it with 2x4's. Do I need a center brace to support the weight in the middle? Surfnturf 2 discus 1 german blue ram 9 harlequin rasboras 5 corydoras 20 long Eheim 2213 and tom aquatics canister filters Finnex planted plus

    Finnex ray 2 or planted +????

    Try splitting your photoperiod. I do 4 hrs in the morning and 4 in the evening. I have read this is better for plants and less optimal for algae. Surfnturf 2 discus 1 dwarf gourami 1 german blue ram 2 golden wonder killifish 4 harlequin rasboras 5 corydoras And a bunch of plants in a 20...

    Cory dilemma

    Mine eat when they want to. It could be when I feed them or at any random time day or night. They will just start sifting through the substrate looking for leftovers. They are not picky eaters. Surfnturf 2 discus 1 dwarf gourami 1 german blue ram 2 golden wonder killifish 4 harlequin...

    What size heater do I need?

    what does that heater max out at? some only go so high, so you may want to keep that in mind when picking a new one.

    Hello Everyone!

    try a salt dip/bath. i think it's 5 minutes in 1/2 cup aquarium salt per 1 gallon. also add air stone to help oxygenation. the fish will float on it's side and look like it's dying. remove immediately if it stops moving altogether (you may have to poke it to make sure it still moves). i've...

    the tetras will likely become fish food later on anyways. so could the tiger barbs. either way, there will be some fish in their food anyways and those fish were alive at some point in time. it's not bad advice. tiger barbs will work. like I said, i cycled my tank with a dwarf gourami and a...

    I say go for it. It is your aquarium and you can try anything you want. If they don't make it you can always buy more. It sucks to look at fish you don't want while your tank cycles then you have to figure out what to do with them when it's done. Buy what you want and if natural selection takes...

    Trying to get back into planted tanks!
