    Drip system filter help please!

    I wouldn't mess with your disposal, don't ever drill or connect anything into it. I'm not too clear why you need that drain anyway.. Also you might want to put your activated carbon before your bio balls because if what you say is right about the breaking down into ammonia, you'll want that to...

    Female Betta and Gourami

    I was wondering if a group of 3-5 Female Betta would be able to live in harmony with 2 sets of 2 gourami. Probably dwarf gourami. Setup: 55 Gallon well planted tank with lots of things to break LOS and setup territories. Total Fish: 3-5 Female Betta 4 Gourami I always found my female bettas...

    How to make your very own wet/dry, sump and DIY pvc overflow!

    -Good start but there are a few problems, the first one I saw was the before mentioned aspect of having to take apart the whole thing to change mechanical media. -The second and an even more important aspect of the filtration process is that you're bio media should come after your mechanical...

    2 Story tanks

    He wants to have 2 setup tanks but have only 1 tank with a HOB filtration... that's what I'm getting from his post. His idea of transporting the water will work just fine however the problem is he won't have enough filtration.

    Question about AP liquid tests

    Against the card for real. I got to a well light room though. I think against the card is best because even if it is darker than it should be that is all the more reason to do it, because if the color is that little of a difference it is still time to do a change.

    2 Story tanks

    The setup would work, I just don't think that the filtration will be as good as you need. I don't know what you're putting in them but it isn't that good of filtration. Also 1 gallon of water is 8.345404 pounds

    Tank remodel-Penguin 350 vs Bio wheel 400

    I don't know much between the two but I do know that Emperor 400's are really aggravating to prime, also they seem to get stuck a lot easier, if anything gets in the filter it causes a lot of noise and slows down quite a bit. I want another HOB for my 55, I have an Emperor 400 but I'm thinking...

    Stocking question

    55g is the minimum recommended for any cichlid setup. If you want oscars you could have 1, some would say two but you will need to move once they get too big. 55g is great for smaller african cichlids, like mbuna which are very colorful. You could also go with discus as long as you change water...

    When I shift the Eco-Complete Substrate to plant the water gets murky / white.

    If its a milky white cloud, I had this after I cleaned my gravel too soon while my tank was still cycling. I was told it was due to a bacterial bloom or die off, one of the two.. could be the same thing?

    Brightly colored gravel bad for fish??

    I have heard it isn't good for them, not only does it make them not as pretty but it actually hurts their eyes and makes breeding bad too due to the eye thing.

    Which is right for me?

    I like oscars, but everything I have seen says 1 oscar per 40g, so a 55g should only have 1 oscar, 2 should move to a 110+ gallon...

    Which is right for me?

    I have nothing but a java fern... what is an example of this type of community-ish tank? If I have few fish I really would want a lot of personality, like an oscar, except I don't just want 1 fish.

    Which is right for me?

    I know the aesthetics of a tank are based on personal preference, but since I am terrible at making decisions I am going to put aesthetics aside since I can't decide on which one I like better. My decision is between a community tank or an African Malawi Cichlid tank. In my community I would...

    Used tanks: How to spot problems?

    How much structure does the cross bar in the 55 gallon provide? The plastic rim up top has the cross bar being held on by some sort of putty or something but everything else is fine, if this top cross bar piece fails does the tank collapse?

    Hey everyone, I have 7 Zebra Danio that are currently helping to cycle my tank. Eventually I want a school of 11 Zebra Danio but I like the longfins looks better for the aquarium. My question is, will Longfin and normal zebra danio school together? Or would they just form their own clicks...
