    Is this wood safe to use as Driftwood?

    Hello, I found this piece of wood by the creek when I was walking my dogs. I already ā€œdebarkedā€ it and baked it to get rid of the all the bad stuff, and make safe. Only thing I am really worried about is there is some purple tint on a few sections on it, and I donā€™t know what that is. Should I...

    New finds!

    Went to my first fish expo today! It was rather small, only around 12 vendors, but still very cool. I noticed they were mostly selling plecos and cichlids, which was interesting. There was one vendor selling livebearers, but nothing special. Some plants and driftwood, along with a few bettas...

    Green/brown water from driftwood

    Iā€™ve had this piece of driftwood (middle) in my tank for a few months and since itā€™s been in there itā€™s making the water look so green!!! I soaked the wood for two weeks changing the water every few days before it even went in and it doesnā€™t seem to be getting any better. Is this normal? When I...

    Ways to wash driftwood for going straight into the tank are there any?

    Or would I need to leave it the recommended 24-48 hours?

    Are screws safe to use in aquarium?

    Hello! I bought 4 pieces of woods and want to attach it all together. And as the title says, I saw a lot of video on youtube where they attach driftwood with screws and wonder if they are fish safe or not, donā€™t they leech iron?

    Fungal bloom from new driftwood took over tank

    I added a large piece of driftwood to my 10 gallon tank. It grew the usual white-clear fuzzy fungus film, but instead of just sticking to the wood, it seems to have taken over the entire tank. It's all over my plants and the substrate. A couple of my plants died because their stems rotted. This...

    Unidentified Worm-Looking Creatures in Tank

    I wasnā€™t really sure where to post this, but I just found some white worm-looking creatures on the glass of my 10 gallon. Iā€™m not sure whether or not I should be concerned, but I thought I would ask if anyone is able to identify them anyway. An image has been attached, itā€™s the best one I could...

    Unidentified Algae on Driftwood

    I found this growing in my tank... I think itā€™s algae, but Iā€™m not completely sure. I just set up my tank a few days ago and I have driftwood, rock, substrate, and a couple of plants so far. I have only noticed it on the pieces of driftwood. I am planning on adding fish this weekend. I have had...

    Ph dropping significantly

    Hey all, We're beginning to run into a new problem. Over the past several weeks our ph has been slowly dropping, to where now it's about 6.8. A few weeks ago it was holding steady at about 7.6-7.8. I know that our fish prefer the lower ph so it isn't an issue at the moment, but we don't know...
