    What am I doing wrong?

    Hey everyone! So in November I bought a new 125g aquarium. I let it start cycling for about a week and basically used a full 2L bottle of Seachem stability. At the time I had 2 SunSun 304b canister filters. I introduced my 7" gulper cat, a baby giant gourami, and 6 goldfish into the tank. Then...

    canopy plan for 20 gallon w/ HOB?

    I'm a newbie to fish keeping, and just got a 20 gallon tank. Problem is, my cat is big & curious and I'm worried he'll knock the lid off. Does anyone have plans/recommendations for a diy canopy? I need space for a HOB filter and something sturdy enough for a 15 pound cat to land on. Thanks!

    Filter for 55g

    So I want to get a better filter for my 55 gallon tank and want to make it bare bottom. Would a fluval fx6 be to over kill? Would a set up with an airstone on the other side of the tank and filtration on the other make bare bottom work? Thanks in advance :)

    Cheap DIY Filter Sock Holder

    Had an "aha" moment looking for ways to DIY a filter sock holder for my sump and figured I'd share since I haven't seen it anywhere. I used a styrofoam block to hold up the plastic ledge of a filter sock within the chamber. Styrofoam is impossible to sink, pretty much free, and I'm assuming is...

    What kind of filtration is right for me?

    So I'm currently working on getting a 120 gallon aquarium (48"x24"x24") set up. It has a 30 gallon (36"x12"x16") sump which is currently set up in a rather underwhelming fashion. My current plans for drainage are as follows: the system will drain via two "megaflow" style overflows tied together...

    Injured fish! Please advise!

    Hi there! I’ve recently set up a tropical aquarium (a month ago) and have been slowly adding fish with advice from my LFS. I’ve been keeping a close eye on them and have (perhaps unwisely) carefully chosen names for all 13 of them. Today I came home from work and as usual checked the...

    Under my house filter idea

    Hey y'all. So this probably is not original and really I hope it's not. I was telling a guy about how I'm putting a drain in the floor out of my new 520g tank I'm building and he thought I was saying I was putting the filter under the floor. Light bulb* Then I realized, it is a pier and beam...

    Good quality filters.

    I usually buy my filters from Walmart for smaller tanks because it’s much cheaper but the last 2 were no good. They keep stoping and only run for 5 to 10 minutes. I was wondering if anybody knew of some very good quality filters. A filter they are more than pleased with?
