Im starting a new tank and Im looking for suggestion. I have an 18 gallon tall tank that will be going in my office I have been keeping fish for a few years now and have wanted to do a marine tank and am looking for suggestions. currently my other tanks are a 75 gallon discus tank and a 55...

Mangroves, depending on the species will grow in completely fresh to super or hyper saline water. I was in the Bahamas in March for a college biology class and did some hiking, one of the lakes we were hiking in that had mangroves in it had a salinity 100 times that of marine water.

I don't know what kind of snail it is, but I have small snails all over the place in my tank. A buddy of mine had a 20 gal BW setup that he had introduced snails into for his puffer, but when the puffer went belly up he took the tank apart and I inherrited his bumblee gobies, and aparently the...

I have an Archer with a columbian shark, and a 24" snowflake morray in a 55 everyone gets along fine. What did you end up going with to take care of the clean up? Ive been looking for something to use but everything ive put in has just turned into dinner.

I have a snowflake morray thats around 20", I currently feed him 5 to 10 shrimp daily. I use uncooked store bought frozen shrimp, the kind for shrimp cocktail, I defrost and just toss em in the tank. Aside from that he eats occasional krill or crickets left over from my archers any thing else I...

the archer looks a little beat up, I have 2 archers in a 55 with a moray and a columb. shark. The smaller of the 2 archers has been in the tank for a little over a month, and is in a similar condition to the one pictured, anything I can do to help him along, and get him patched up. They are fed...

Is their anything I can do to help encourage my archer to shoot? It is in a 55 gallon tank, the water has been dropped about 2 or 3, and there is a peice of floating driftwood for food to get out of the water on. I began feeding crickets, and they would be eaten before they made it out of the...

Please let me know how this turns out. I have a 55 gallon, with an archer and a moray in it. I would like to add one possibly 2 more archers to the tank soon.

Ive used peat for my discus tanks, its really easy to use and makes a big difference. My tap water was around 8 and after sitting in peat for 24- 36 hrs i got it down to 6.5

I know this will be a questions thats been answered before, but here it is anyways. I have 2 tanks that I am looking to begin planting, I dont want to spend the money on the CO2 systems, so I would like to do a DIY one. I know it has been done out of pop bottles. Would it be possible to use a...

mine started on 100% crickets, but i have weened him onto fd krill, and he only gets crickets on occasion. I am thinking about starting him on meal worms if i can get them up here.

I want to keep the frog, its not big enough to eat the fish, but big enough that they leave it alone. I have the 4 in their right now, I was hoping more for size then alot of fish, but I will look into maybe a tank of about 10. I feel the filtration is adequate, I used it for a discus tank no...

I figured that they would end up as dinner at some point in time, maybe I will just get some ghost shrimp and see how they do before they are eaten, I can get them in 500 cnt boxes and they would last a while before they are all cleaned out

I am looking for a couple more africans to complete my tank. I currently have the following, bumblebee, blue johani, yellow lab, and some kind of a blue cichlid (sorry dont remember the name), and an african clawed frog. They are all around 4" in size. The tank is a 75 gallon with a rena XP3 for...

I starteed my first brackish tank a few months ago. I went with a 55 gallon tank with a sand bottom, for filtration I am using a aqua clear 110 and a marineland strealth heater. The sg is currently arround 1.002 to 1.003 and I am planning on slowly increasing it over the next few months. The...

also be careful when you add water, that will stir the sand up, I had the same experience when I started my 55 I washed the sand forever and it was still cloudy but it took less then a week and its been crystal clear ever since. Use the prefilter and if you have it pack all kinds of filter floss...

It wasnt 6 days it was 12 hrs. My buddy came to feed them Thursday morning and when I got back Thursday night everything was dead. He ran a chemical test on the tank Wednesday night and everything was normal, PH 6.5, Amm at 0 Nitrite at 0 and Nitrate at .5 ppm. So I cant conclude anything other...

I have a bunch of rock that I found locally, it will be going into a african cichlid tank, and a brackish tank so I am not concerned about it buffering the hardness up i could actually use that. My question is concerning rocks and sand. I have heard that when you put rocks into an aquarium that...

So its been a while since I have posted, but to make a long story short I lost my entire tank. I had a 75 with 6 discus all around 4". I moved back to school, made it through the move ok, all of the fish survived and within 2 days were active and feeding well, no signs of stress. About 1 week...

I am moving soon, in the past when I have moved I used an old cooler and put the fish into there, one move lasted close to 36 hrs, I put a cycled HOB on the cooler, no problems. My problem is in the past I have have not had fish that are known for their delicacy or being stressed easily my...
