aquascaping

What brand would you recommend for a 55 gallon tank? I’m planting a high light tank and can’t decode what lighting to use. It could be LED or a T5 or whatever else. I could even do two lights if necessary but would prefer just one strong one. Need something that could keep the color on red...

Looking to buy a 5 gallon with a 'hidden' filter that doesn't get in the way when cleaning or aquascaping. It would also be a bonus if it had a built in heater so I don't have to have the ugly thing handing on the back of the tank. Anyone have any ideas?

I just bought a 10 gallon tank (PetSmart is having a sale!!) and I want to aquascape it, but I've never really aquascaped beyond gravel and some decorations. I'm looking for ideas on what to do with it. I don't have a plan for any specific fish yet, but I want a community tank of maybe three or...

I would like to Hardscape my aquarium - (Rocks, Stones, Gravel, and Limited Plants) However, have got some fish doing just fine in my tank that has a mix match of ornaments, such as a large fake wooden background log thing...:S:fun: and a few small fake plants. The fish I have...

I found some nice looking, inexpensive plastic plants on line. These are not intended for aquariums - but for floral arrangments. They are 100% plastic, no internal wire, and they look very realistic. Now I'm considering what to use to mould a base to secure the stems in an upright position and...

Hey guys,    I have two tanks at the moment and I want to aquascape both of them. My 10 gallon has been cycled for a month and a half and currently has a female betta and a female african dwarf frog living in it, as well as a few java ferns, some java moss and an anubias. My 5 gallon is in the...

Hey so I decided to join this forum and to quit annoying my friends with pictures of my fish and aquarium. I really would like to gain new friends that could help me expand my knowledge on Aquarium life and to hear me rant about all my fish and aquarium detailed stories! (As I of course would do...

Hello all,    I have recently joined the forums and enjoy seeing people's posts / previous posts and daily activity which goes on this site. Just recently 1-2 months now I purchased a 55l aquanano tank. There was a deal too good to miss, and we had tropical fish in the family before, so I...

I'm looking at aquascaping for a breeding pair of elephant ear betta, I haven't bought anything yet so I'm pretty open to ideas. I am planning for a 10 gallon tank, and I unfortunately have never done a tank with live plants and am not sure what would be best. I'm not in a huge rush, though I...

I bought a really nice rock yesterday from my LFS, it is called Honeycomb Nano, brand is  Pisces.    Thing is, it seems to be quite crumbly, and when I rub my finger on it, yellow from the rock gets on my finger.   Will this be a problem?   Is there a way to stop it?   I tried the vinegar test...
