I bought a standard 10 gallon tank from a friend and I want to see if I can get a pretty full carpet of Dwarf baby tears. I will be running CO2, but I could use substrate and lightning recommendation. ADA Aquasoil seems to be the go to, but any input is appreciated. I'm more concerned about...

I noticed after my latest water change, there's a whole bunch of white "Debris" in my tank. It's not attached to anything, it wipes/shakes off if disturbed. Is this anything I should worry about other than maybe not doing water changes enough...

Hi all! I'm pretty sure my petricola cat is pregnant, bloated belly, no sickness issues in the past. I've got a few questions, from what I read they are egg layers and I know those will get eaten up by the other fish in my tank if I don't quarantine her somehow. Question 1) Breeder box? Type...

I have a plumbed acrylic tank with bulkheads on the back and I'm seeing bubbles coming out of the filter outflow. I checked all plumbing and hoses, no leaks, no kinks, nothing. Could this be from the filter needing a cleaning? Or any other culprits? I'm stumped have never seen this happen before.

I'm thinking about starting into live plants and was looking for recommendations on low tech/maintenance plants. I have a couple million questions and have done some research already but to start: The guy at the LFS said if I do add some live plants to not just start with one because it could...

The LFS had the scientific name which I didn't recognize and dont remember now, and google was no help, can anyone help identify? Scientific and or common name would be great!

My tank has bulkheads plumbed for the intake and return and I'm wondering how I should direct the outflow from the return to get the best waterflow in the tank. I'm running an Eheim 2213 canister and it's only a 35g tank so I think I have enough flow, just would like some advice from all you...

I only took one pic while I was setting up the tank, but you can see it's come along way from where I started. I'm working on my 2nd confguration of the rocks, plants, I think I liked the first one better, but open to suggestions! More plants? Before First Config 2nd Config

Looking for some advice on the best cleaning supplies for my 35g acrylic tank. I'm looking for a cleaning solution for the outside of the tank to remove fingerprints, water spots etc. and also the best thing to apply it with. Based on what I could find online, Plexus or Novus seem to be the...

Hey folks, my tank is plumbed with bulkheads for my canister filter and I'm wondering if I need additional aeration since the outflow is about 5" below the water line. The outflow is pointed towards the surface, but I'm not sure how much agitation/flow would be sufficient for proper aeration...

Noticed spots on my Tiger Barb this morning, quite a few of them. I've been reading up on this but don't seem to be getting any consistent answers on how to address this. Need confirmation that this is in fact ICH and what to do about it. I have a 35g setup and no other tanks, so...

Here's my tank, 35g, pretty new setup and my first acrylic tank (I'm super paranoid about scratching it!). Would love feedback/opinions.
