    Hello all! I am new here. I would like some opinions and suggestions about a tight schooling nano fish for a 40 gallon tank. I had a lightly planted 20 gallon which I upgraded to a 40 after my last giant danio passed at almost 8 years old, cycled the water, and transferred driftwood and plants...

    Hey guys! I've gotten permission to set up another tank for my birthday, which will be in approximately two months. I've decided to start the planning process now. This is going to be in a UNS 45U for my current betta and 6 pygmy corydoras. The plants are: Ludwigia Repens, Hygrophila...

    Hello All, I have a 55 gallon planted tank that has been running without issue for the past 6 or so months.

    So I just got 4 baby ADFs (African Dwarf Frogs, NOT CLAWED) in my planted 15g, and I can already tell that feeding them is going to cause some mess -- I'm using frozen blood worm cubes, and those get everywhere. I don't want to have to pick individual worms out of the substrate/gravel vacuum...

    Hello, I just bought a used Juwel Rio 180 led, but I was disappointed when I opened the hood and saw the original Multilux panel was destroyed and there was some random led tubes with their own power supplies. So I can see that one is a 24w tube from the brand 'Diversa' LED expert 24W lighting...

    Water flow too is strong, I'm planning on getting a Krib pulcher in the future and they like a steady/low flow. I need the power head to benefit my plants but there isn't a built in way in the fan to adjust it. What can I do to make the flow softer?

    So to start I am a beginner in the World of Planted Tanks. I have been researching, reading books, scouring the internet, reading forums and watching countless videos on Planted Tanks. I thnk the only way to really learn anything is for me to hop right in. After a bunch of research I have begun...
  14. Fish
    I So my main question is suggestions for fish, but one of my main road blocks is that the reason that I have always owned goldfish and koi is because they have personalities and interact with people, a trait that from my understanding is lacking in many of the schooling fish who are more plant...
  15. Equipment
    I am setting up a tank (50 gallons or so). I have an Ehiem Professional 2 which will generate decent flow but I want to kick it up a notch. All my hardware for my tank is glass (ADA lily pipes and diffuser) so naturally any ordinary power head or wave maker will really stand out. Has anyone ever...

    So... Sadly, I recently lost my Betta, Petunia... :frown2::crying::frown2: I'm pretty sad about it because I've had her for a few years now and she was the reigning queen of my community tank... Although I don't plant to get another fish right away, I'm beginning to think of what I would like...

    Look for input on plants that stay red in medium light with no co2. I use seachem excel and iron as well as omsocote+ root tabs. Temp is 76F, pH is 7.5, gh and kh 8 andn 4 if that is any help. This is for a 10g so tiger lotus is a bit big. Would AR stay red in these conditions? Open to other...
