My L18 just passed yesterday and I can't figure out why. This is the second one that I have had and they both have died. It was about 2" and happened all of a sudden. My clown, bn and pitbull plecos are still looking good and very active. It wasn't even attacked so I can't blame that and water...

I have at least 15 different types of plants in my 90g. The thing I have done is mix my plants so they don't have to compete for light. I also have tried to get plants with red leaves or some color mixed in with just the plain green plants. I like the variety and in the next few months when they...

I have 9 assassin snails and they have done nothing at all. I even bought them from 2 different lfs to make sure I got the correct snails. They just stroll by the pond and ramshorn snails like they are not even there. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

It seems it was a bacteria boom. I did a big water change and bought new carbon. The previous carbon and bio balls were from my canister filter. I did rinse the carbon very well this time to make sure. I have also stopped using filter floss altogether. Just the sock and a sponge block. The bio...

Did a 75% water change and it seems to have cleared it all up. Just hoping it stays that way. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

What type of gravel? Can I just go to Home Depot and buy a bag of coarse gravel and use that? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Where I have all the bio balls, carbon and what not....used to be a refugium. Question is could I put volcano rock there and is there any benefit or drawback if I do? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I have a 29g sump that was used on a sw tank. I am running fw but can't get my water clear no matter what I do. I have taken 2 pics to show my set-up but am willing to try almost anything to get clear water. From overflow water goes into a 7" filter sock then flows into a sponge block. I did...

Since my first 2 blew out in less than a month they replaced them. When I told them the other 2 blew out they have never returned any of my emails or calls. I just gave up and went and bought TruLumen LEDs. I bought the blue lunar lights and they fit in where the cheap odyssea LEDs were. I would...

I already have a clown pleco and a bristlenose pleco. Both are about 2" long and I really want to get a golden nugget. I have a 90g tank with lots of water movement, driftwood, decorations and lots of plants (pics to be posted soon). Will they be comparable or should I not get one to be on the...

I have the Odyssea T5HO 3x54 with lunar lights.......the LEDs keep blowing out. Aqua traders sent me some new ones and in less then 5 minutes they were blown as well. I originally had them on my 55g with the legs and it was looking pretty good. Once I set up my 90g I could not use the legs at...

I have an Odyssea light set up that is a t5ho 3 bulb with 4 twin LEDs. The LEDs have already blown after 3 weeks and I don't believe I am getting the amount of light I am supposed to be getting from the T5. Any suggestions? And I don't want to buy an entire new set up.... Sent from my iPhone...

Well all the hardware stores around me have a very poor selection. So I ended up using the clear tubing but at the bends I used elbow bends for tubing. This keeps the clear tubing straight and seems to be working great so far. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Thanks guys I appreciate the info. You just made my life so much easier. Maybe more of my fish won't die. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Found out the leak wasn't from the tubing but from the one of the pipes going through the drilled glass. I guess the rubber gasket didn't seal properly. Can I just remove water from over flow only or does the entire tank need to be emptied? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Back to the hardware store I go. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I have just set up my 90g and 29g sump. The main tank is drilled and I have a 1" outflow and a 3/4" return. First of all the only tubing I could find for the return was from Lowes and the tubing seems to have a memory. It won't straighten out enough and is causing it to leak. None of my LFS have...

Forgot to add that I have a planted tank and don't want all the plants pulled up. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I have a 90g community tank and would really like to add some cats. I am not talking about Cory's or plecos (already have those) just want something active but no bigger than 6" and won't try to eat my other fish. Either a single cat or 2-3 will be fine for the right cat. Sent from my iPhone...
