So, after a lot of debating with my parents we decided to put my 50gal and 55gal in my room. I orginally wanted to put them in the unfinished part of our basement that has cement floors so support wasnt that big of a deal. My dad didn't want to put them somewhere we cant see them, and the rest...

where do you guys think the best place is to purchase plants online? I don't mind ordering from more than one place if need be. Where do u get your plants? TIA

hey, I was just browsing around plantgeek and came across the plant Aldrovanda vesiculosa. I used to keep venus fly traps when i was younger and i thought this was pretty cool. Any one heard of it before? I think it would be cool to keep, but probably not with fish anyway. Well I just thought i...

I just wanted to make sure before i ordered it that this would be an ok valve: http://www.beveragefactory.com/draftbeer/regulator/double/342.shtml there are other valves on the site, let me know what you think thanks!

Are there any substrates for aquariums that are similar to potting soil or sand? I am just looking for a fine substrate so if i get corries I don't need to worry about their barbells. Thanks.

I recently recieved a 50gal (48"L x 12"W x 18"H) for my birthday. I Have a low light 55gal already, so i have decided to take the plunge into doing a highlight tank. I need some help, but I think I have it mostly figured out. Supplies for tank: Rena XP2 Canister Stealth 200w heater 55gal stand...

Everytime I look at this form it makes me realizes how much I'd love a planted tank (my 55 is planted, but I mean highlights, CO2 the whole deal). I get all these ideas for my new 50gal, but then the sudden reality of it all hits me $$$. Exactly what i don't have a lot of, I had to quit my job...

So I am relocating all my tanks and also adding my new 50gal to a room my parents are asking me to set up in out unfinished basement. The reason is, my parents are recarpeting and painting the entire house. So, anyway this gets to be my sort of hang out area. I was thinking of putting lights in...

Well I was happily suprised to walk into my bedroom after school to find a brand new 50gal tank that my parents got me for my birthday :mrgreen: Well i have just begun thinking about what to do with it. On a side note..my parents are having me move all my tanks down stairs. So i have a bunch...

So about 50% of the people in my neighborhood landscape with river rocks. I asume they are river rocks, because they are mostly grey in color, smooth, and rounded. So my question is do you think it would be safe if, after boiling and bleaching, i "borrowed" some to make caves in my 55gal for my...

1. Ok so i just ordered a gh, kh and phosphate test kits. I already have ph, nitrite, nitrate, and amonia test kits. Are there any other test kits i need to help manage my plants? 2. How do i manage/fix a nitrate phosphate imbalance. I have an algae problem and it hasnt been going away and i...

I was just curious if any of you used them and which one you though was the best. I wouldnt use it on a daily basis but just when i go out of town. I'd need two to feed flake and carivore pellets, if not pellets freeze dried blood worms.

I am getting a 40 gal soon for my birthday :D and i wanted to replace my 20gal with the 40 gal. I was going to use the substrate for planted aquariums in it, and mix it wiht the current gravel in my 20 gal. The Idea is to instanl cycle my 40 gal by doing this. Therefore i could move my fish to...
