Hello, I recently began to revamp my 55 gallon planted tank that has been neglected due to a year-long absence. Tank dimensions are 48"x12"x22". Currently I have 6 MacCollouch's rainbows (Melanotaenia maccullochi) and 1 turquoise rainbow (Melanotaenia lacustris), as well as 6 bronze cories and 2...

Hey all, this is my first time posting after reading this forum for years. I'm finally getting around to setting up my 55 gal display tank for the living room and am planning to go all out on it.

Hey Guys, So I'm acquiring a 55 gallon, and have kept fish in the past. I just wanted your opinions on what I should keep in the 55. Granted it will be stocked slowly with the tank cycling I am definitely staying away from fish that will get large, and am leaning toward a small community fish...

I was given a used 55 stand which i plan to use for my 30 long tank (Same footprint) but it looks like its a lip only stand where the tank just sits on the raised lip rather than a flat surface. I've never dealt with this type of stand before and was curious if others have had one before and if...

Hey all, I've got a bunch of planted low tech nano tanks, but I'm looking for some info on what would be the best options for a low-tech planted tank in the 55 gallon size. I'd really prefer to be as cost-effective as possible so I'm not really looking to spend an arm and a leg. I was doing...
