Wow! Thanks you for all the good advice. Unfortunately, I've switched the substrate. The old one is over 6 years old and paint has come off the majority of the stones. I hate the color (black), and I've got a snail issue. They came on some plants and they are just buried in the substrate. I...

LOL! I haven't tried this technique yet. Sounds like a good plan.

My lights are programmable, Fluval Plant and Fluval Aquasky. I just can't seem to get the right program. I've looked online and tried other people's programs. I just don't have luck

I've been fighting this algae for at least a year. I've had the tank set up for about 7 years now. At first I was dealing with the dreaded bba (black beard algae) and now the red algae. The tank is also getting a lot of natural light hence the change into a new room with the new set up. I've...

Yeah, I gotta buy a lot more. Realized the hard way that most of my plants do better glued onto driftwood, not shoved in gravel. I'm going to do some more research and buy some decent plants. I also struggle with lighting. I have a multitude of lights from a Fluval Aquasky to the Fluval Plant. I...

Ok, that's what I thought. They are both 75 gallon. I filled the new one and have a small sponge filter running for now. I have an extra heater so I'll get that set up and warm up the tank. Should I transfer the live plants ahead of time or do that all at the same time when I transfer the...

Hey guys, I need advice on the best way to go about setting up my new tank. My old tank was bought second hand and is at the end of its second life. I bought a brand new tank and need advice as to how to go about making the switch. I have a sponge filter in the old tank that I'm going to place...

Hey guys, You've been so helpful in the past I'm hoping I could pick your brains again. My Rosaline shark has a huge belly and I'm not sure what to. It started over the summer and has increased in size since then. At first I thought it was a belly full of eggs but it wouldn't still be full...

The nitrates have been in that range for over 6 years and never had an issue with sick fish until the SAE's odd behavior over the past few weeks. We have well water so I'll test the water from the tap tomorrow and see if the nitrates are the same level. I also did my weekly water change so I'll...

I feed regular flakes for some fish, algae wafers for the algae eaters and snail cookies for the snails. I also put veggies in every few weeks as a treat
