Hi everyone! It has been such a long time since I have posted! Anyway, I have a question for anyone that can help!    I have been blessed to live in an area that only uses well water. And because of this, I have never had to buy the water treatments. I just put the water in the tank and let it...

I recently acquired a 90L tank from a friend (I think 24 gallons, approx? Sorry, I'm Australian so I'm not great at the conversions from metric). I had kept a pair of German Ram Cichlids in the past in my 200L community tank but it was a struggle looking after them in there because the water was...

Hi there!    Perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough, but after going through most of the the forums and discussions - I have yet to discover an actual discussion on what could possibly done with old, unwanted, fish tanks.    For example, I have an old - 1.5 gallon LED Aquarium Kit from Tetra and I...

Hi Guys, I have just begun landscaping my new Rio Juwel 400. So far I have put in one rock, a large piece of wood and four live plants. Everything was going fine, until, having cycled my tank I put in as a start two one month old baby Mollies. I feed them and everything but they are eating away...

Hi Everyone, I live in London and I have been looking around on the web and my LFS which is the Aquatics Design Centre appears to be the only decently sized fish store in the area. I live in Hampstead and apart from the aquatics design centre and small garden centres I can't find any other...

Hi, I have purchased the Rio Juwel 400 and it comes with a 300 watt heater. It is a 450L tank and despite the fact that the 300W heater it comes with it is advertised as being able to do: "UP TO 450L" I am conscious that that might be slightly exaggerated. Also looking around on the web it...

Hi all, i have been fish keeping for 1 year, (on and off) i started off with a 2ft 70litre, tank with a mixture of fish. I then moved out away from my girlfriend, when i came back the tank was still running looking beautiful, so i gained ambition again! I decided to buy a 5ft 400litre tank, and...

this is my second tank and i decided to take a different approach to this tank, usually i go for a jungle style tank densely planted and lots of difference species but wit this tank i had been inspired by a load of videos and pictures online of the Japanese Iwagumi style tanks so if i wanted to...

Hi Everyone, I have just purchased a 450 Litre tank and I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions as to what fish to get. I would like something very colourful, large and interesting and preferably reasonably easy to find. I have not yet decided whether it is going to be a...

Hey everyone,    On Wednesday I bought the Tetra Complete LED Aquarium 5. It came with a 5 gallon tank, hood, small led light, tetra whisper micro filter and some free samples of various tetra products. Plant wise, it currently has a small amount of java moss and two baby java ferns from my 10...

HI,   So my tank has started leaking, well my mother noticed it a few days ago, but now it's really bad. It looks like it's from the bottom of the tank, but I don't really know as cant remove water and fish at the moment.   If it is the glass that has cracked, can I use fish safe silicone to...

Price - £125   Unlike most used Biorbs on sale, this tank is in almost PERFECT condition, with no visible scratches. (I'm sure there are a few below the level the substrate sits at, simply due to the nature of the abrasive volcanic rock used by Biorb, but even these are indiscernible. These...

Well I've decided to bit the bullet and get a bigger shrimp tank. the current 12L micro tank isn't really big enough to be stable for the temperature and also nitrates-wise. The nitrates I can do something about ( stop over-feeding!) but the temperature swings can't be doing the shrimp any good...

So i placed my female guppy that i believed was pregnant in a 15 gallon tank outside. The temperature was perfect, day and night both....i constantly checked it.  It ended up that the guppy wasn't pregnant even though she looked like an Elephant in the tank compared to the other female. I moved...

So, my hubby really knows how to get me, by contributing to my aquarium addiction, he made a deal with me that if he didn't have to go to a dinner party then he would buy me a new tank and a new betta. Naturally, I gave into my addiction, and hubby didn't go to the dinner party, so now I get a...

Today I got my tank underway ! I had my tank sitting in the garden for a few years and decided to get it up and running. being very rushed to get it up and running resulted in having 3 quarters pre mixed water from one of my fathers larger tanks down stairs.   I bought an oxygenating weed i...

Hi. I have been looking through the internet at ways in which to calculate the stocking of a aquarium, and different methods have given different sizes. For example one method says about a tank 185 liters while anothere method gives the answer of 300 liters. So the stocking that i was using is...

I am currently writing as research paper on stocking my 125 gallon tank. I would like to add 5 angelfish to this tank plus some other fish. The dimensions are 48" x 24" x 24" so this would be perfect for angels. I have plenty of caves and driftwood with some plants (definitely not heavily...

But I can not get this hair like algae to go away. It is also a pain to pull off. Does anyone know what I need to change to...

Hey everyone, I am currently cycling my 125 gallon tank (about 48inches x 24 inches x 24 inches). Im trying to decide what to stock it with, which seems to be the hardest decision! So far i am interested in Angelfish, Plecos, and Bala sharks. I would like to choose larger fish because i have a...

I use established filter media, possibly with gravel from established tank? Im a little iffy on the gravel part because there is some kind of parasite going around (head twitching, rubbing on gravel, one affected fish keeps swimming to top for air, what is wrong?)

Hey everyone, this is my first post on here, and I hope to get a lot of support from you my fellow fishkeepers, and hope to be able to help you out as well   I just purchased a baby EBJD about a week ago. He's only 1" in length. Now I know that its recommended to get this particular fish a bit...

Hello,   After a fair amount of discussion and some furniture removal, my partner and I have created a corner space for our future fish tank, and we're considering the above two models.  I appreciate that neither will give us quite as many stocking options as a conventional rectangular tank of...

Recently I posted a topic asking what fish I should put in my one gallon fish bowl, and all the answers insisted I get at least a five gallon tank for my next betta fish. I would be totally okay with purchasing a five gallon fish tank, but I'm not sure how to clean a tank that big! I would...

Would it be better to buy 2 smaller heaters for a 55 gallon tank for each end of the tank or would 1 300watt for up to 75 gallons heat the tank evenly?? Thanks!!!

I'm going for a complete overhaul of my tank. (Ive actually started a previous thread regarding substrate change, so apologies, hope this isn't too much of a duplicate)   ATM I have a 60L Marina tank with you run of the mill Pets at home décor. It's great but fancy a change for the better of my...
