    Back in the hobby after 15 years!

    Hello everyone, I’m finally back into having an aquarium again after 15 years. I used to post here a lot and I got some of the best advice I’ve ever received on the hobby from the users on here. One person in particular that went by the name of Rkilling1 was so incredibly helpful I’m hoping...

    Random fish death?

    My tank has been doing very well for a long time, lots of plant growth, happy fish, happy snails and everything but last night my swordtail died which really sucked because he was the 'centerpiece' fish of the tank. I didn't give a whole lot of thought to it because I figured it was due to old...

    Cat litter in the tank!

    I have a cat that has a weird habit of drinking with her paws, she dips her paws in the water dish and then licks them, she is double pawed so she also gets lots of litter stuck in her paws and she makes an awful mess around the water bowl and by walking around with wet paws on my couch and...

    Java moss as a ground cover?

    Oh man....that's not what I wanted to hear:( I was hoping it would work for a ground cover, since it looks so good why would this cause major algae? I inject with c02 and I dose with dry ferts. It sounds like this is going to be a huge hassle...just when I thought my tank was looking better...

    Java moss as a ground cover?

    Trimmings in the mail? (ghostwood for trade)

    We'll see, if someone shows an interest in trading it for a bunch of plants and trimmings then I would do it but other then that I'm basically just looking for anything and everything that will work with my lighting (which I believe in considered medium/high) If someone has something they can...

    Trimmings in the mail? (ghostwood for trade)

    I've heard about people trading plants and trimmings in the mail and it sounds like a good idea. My only question is its cold here now in MA so I’m not sure if that would matter much. My tank is a 20 gallon high and I have a 65 watt coralife light I'm not really sure what to ask for because I...

    Algae ID/Fertilizer suggestions

    That would be amazing if you could do that, the only reason I didn't go with Dry was because I was very confused on what I need to buy and how much I need to use.
