Hey everyone! So I have this freshwater tank that I've been taking care of for about 5 months now, which I inherited from former club members (tank is school property, I just do the feedings and maintenance). It has had a green hair algae problem for years now, but we manage it with weekly...

This white film on the cord of my uv sterilizer and other cords in my fish tank, what is it? I'd assume it to be algae. I've had this in freshwater tanks before, I believe. It comes off very easily and feels slimy. Just want to know what it is, is it good or bad, and how to minimize it or get...

Ok I know there are some double dippers out there...salties and freshies..... I recently broke down my freshwater to go salt so looking to selling my Aqua Illumination Prime HD's and all the CO2 system. Lights with flexible arms $125 ea shipped. Complete CO2 $175

Hello everyone, this morning my pet Glow Betta passed away and im not exactly sure why. He was a very healthy fish, and from what I could tell he was happy. Always excited by food, always did well after water changes. I took very good care of him. Its a 1.5 gallon tank but he had a filter and a...

Sorry for posting about freshwater here but this is the only forum I have and I need to go to work in the next 10 minutes. Two days ago I noticed a fish that I believe just had babies swimming oddly and sort of spinning top to bottom either near the bottom of with it's head in the substrate...

Hi everyone I attached a video of these super tiny clear/milk color bugs that float around my tank or usually crawl onto my plants. It’s been 6 weeks since I started up this freshwater aquarium and it is now fully cycled out. I got my needle leaf Java fern from a local aquatic plant seller who...

Hello everyone. I am pretty knowledgable with saltwater tanks but not so much with freshwater. My fathers freshwater tank has been having some weird issues, no matter how hard we try to increase the ph whenever we test it, its back below 6 (way too low), some fish have died from cloudy eyes and...

Howdy this is an aquarium for someone with neither a lot of experience, nor a lot of money. It can be scary getting caught in the confusion of thousands of products and options when starting your first tank. Well, this is your thread friend. Equipment: Tetra 50 Watt Heater Marineland Bio Wheel...

I'm about to make the jump from freshwater. After almost a years research I have finally decided to dive in. I want to do a reef nano tank, with mostly corals. My knowledge on them is limited although I will always study anything before buying it. I have bought a 150 ltr (40 G?) Tank. A sump is...

Hi everyone! I am from middle tennessee/ north of Nashville. My brother and I have maintained 2 fresh water tanks and a salt water for about 3, maybe 4 years now. Thankfully we haven't failed horribly since our first tank. We currently have an average array of "easy" fish, but the main reason...

So, I've set up a 5.5 gallon freshwater community in the past month or so, and I came across a unique little invert in my LFS last week... a freshwater pom-pom crab. I've seen these guys for sale online, but they've always been sold out or ridiculously pricey. This one was $11, and had all of...

Soooo. Been using some scrap supplies and a random turtle tank I had laying around to do a new project. I build custom bioactive vivariums for tropical reptiles on the side, so I grow most of the plants I use in my green house. I’ve been vending through a buddy’s booth at the reptile shows, so...

Hello all! My freshwater Co2 tank has a little aqauaponics HOB filter..Planted In that I put Forget-me-not seeds. They all sprouted and are growing from ambient light, some sprouts even took to latch on my waterfall, haha..Under the T5 fixture. Well this morning I have noticed very pretty...

I have a 40B that was used to treat a pair of tangs for velvet. Both tangs survived treatment in Coppersafe and were traded into my LFS when I got out of larger tanks. I now have the desire to use that same 40B to set up a freshwater planted tank with some ram cichlids. How do I go about making...

So I am in the middle of a battle with Red Planaria which has been going on for several months now. I've tried manual removal (keeps the population down, but it comes back), Flatworm eXit (corals do not like this), 12 Line Wrasse, and a Blue Velvet Nudibranch. Some of these have shown promise...

As the title says I am lucky enough to have one tank as it is (I have a 60 gal cube with a 18 gal sump). I will be getting some new fish in my tank here soon. I would really love to have a QT tank but a QT tank to my wife is just another tank. So with the circumstances I am in QT is not an...

I know, this is a reef forum, and to make it worse, I built my tank for a turtle. I've been laughed out of a few LFS and forums for revealing that. But wait... I had the hardest time finding any information on freshwater tanks that were not just fishbowls with HOB filters on back, so in order to...
