alright I've been doing a lot of posts on this so far but want lots of opinions =) I know some fish i definitely want in my tank which are 3 Carpenters or McCoskers flasher wrasse - 3” - 1 male , 2 female 2 black ice ocellaris clownfish - 3” yellow candy hogfish - 4” 1 orchid dotty back - 3” 1...

Alrighty so i posted a while ago about a ton of saltwater questions and so far this is what i got (this referring to the picture attached) i still have a bit of aquascaping to do but this is my 55 gallon tank so far it's cycling now and i want to start seriously considering fish/invertebrates to...

    thanks so much for the helpful advice and information! so far i have 60 lbs of sand, 40 live and 20 that is just regular aquarium sand for saltwater, i've heard from a few sources it's a good way to send money and eventually the not live sand will become live as it mixes and over time, and...

alrighty here goes,   I've had freshwater tanks up till now for quite a while, I'd say a few years 3 or so give or take, had all types of freshwater fish but now want to expand. I have an unused and good 55g tank with led lights (day and night setting (don't know if that matters)) I'm good...

the ich seems mostly gone by this point (by gone i mean off the fish and probably into the gravel) but i'm changing about 30% the water and syphoning the gravel tonight. 2 of my corys were acting a little funny with the temperature raised so I decided to lower it again and i did add 2 long...

so far the ich treatment is working well, i raised the temperature a bit to 76 so far, i'm not sure how much higher i should go and if i should go higher, I read up about a lot of possible treatments but the garlic advice is really useful though thanks and i'll give that a try, hopefully my...

  Exactly as Baccus points out, the test might not be reliable.  Generally strips are far less reliable than liquid test kits, almost to the point of being worthless.       i do have lots of plants in the tank and i also mentioned above that i used 2 ammonia test kits one strip test and one...

but how can it be ammonia poisoning if my ammonia levels are at 0?

i didn't transfer the filter media  from the 20g to the 55 but i used about 75% of the water from the 20g to help get the tank filled, i rinsed everything that went into the tank very carefully with scalding hot water as well , added only 2 decorations and it's a cave and an arch, the fish that...

ok well i use the test strips and the levels right now are nitrate 0 ppm, nitrite 0 ppm, hardness 75 ppm, chlorine 0 ppm, alkalinity 80 ppm, ph 7. when I woke up this morning there was another threadfin rainbow dead =( and a silver hi fin molly very near dead that'll probably die in a few...

thanks and yeah i have a lot of plants in it right now and plan to add some more soon

ok well just suddenly my threadfin rainbow died, the day before he seemed perfectly healthy but i just got him 2 days ago from the lfs so maybe something was already wrong with him but either way i couldn't see anything wrong with him but the next day (today) i just noticed my spotted cory was...

my water is pretty soft, i live in new york and the tap water is really easy to condition since it's already better than most areas =)

i'm so excited and so happy that for years i've been dreaming of getting a 55g and finally got one and it's beautiful and i couldn't be happier, i currently have 4 rainbow fish, 5 cory cats (different kinds), 1 golden wonder killi, 6 platys, and 6 lyre tail mollies, and 3 gorami's (1 dwarf flame...
