One of my FOWLR tanks has still not needed a water change ever since I set it up ~4 months ago. Nitrates will not go above 18ppm and since this is a FOWLR I was going to start doing water changes once they hit 30. After all this time it still has still been in the 13-18ppm range. I know for a...

I’m getting back to the hobby after 15 yrs. I have my old 70g tank that came with a canopy fitted with fluorescent lights so I need to attach in leds somehow. I’ve done lots of research and became more confused as I cannot decide on the right lights, especially as I’m on a budget to something...

Just curious... Would a Valentini puffer be suitable in a 20-gallon long tank with a clownfish and gramma? Maybe a dumb question, but I've read that some have had success keeping these guys in 20 gallons. Thank you!

This is her now The day I got her 6-7 “ Raccoon Butterfly Fish I enlisted her to help me get rid of my majano anemone infestation. I’ve had her for 7 weeks and my 600+ majano problem is pretty much totally gone. I have never had this fish in my main display, so I am not sure how it would be...
