Hello everyone so I've hit a roadblock on my planted tank and it's leaving me VERY frustrated to the point of contemplating taking the tank down. This is not in my build thread so I can get as much eyes on the issue as possible and get it resolved hopefully. The issue: in 48 hours I went from...

I did an Instagram review on this product and stirred the pot with all the newbies that thinks it works miracles. Just thought I would share what I found on this product and I left my sources below. Yes I am not a huge meds guy but I am a big skeptic of API products. This thing is, this product...

I've been really wanting to change up my 75g. Planted in it is becoming quite a bit of work and I have a smaller planted tank I'll be focusing on. I've done some reading on these fish and know they prefer live fish to eat and live groups if possible. Few questions: 1. Is a 75g suitable for a...
