Hello, I have had some things floating around in my head recently that I need answers for. So what is the difference in filtration between salt and fresh. Why in freshwater you use these big filters that are packed with biomedia for maximum surface area for beneficial bacteria (maybe K1 or...

I tried googling "Smallest auto fish feeder" to see what my options are and couldn't really find any threads or articles dedicated to reviewing and comparing the smallest available auto fish feeders for a small pico tank. I'd probably go with an Eheim Everyday Fish Feeder but if anyone knows any...

Malawi cichlids I’m super happy!!! I found some pretty big stones at the top of a mountain and took them home for a 9-1 water-bleach soak before rinsing then soaking in our hard tap water. I know I can make these big butt stones into a beautiful hide/nest for some of my big Mbuna. I’m hoping the...

We got my parents old aquarium to give junior a bit of usefull cinema and I get to implement it. I therefore get to play around with technology (especially Reef-Pi) as much as I like ^^ Thought I'd share the project with you and get some usefull input.

Hi everyone, I am very new to this aqua field and all of sudden, my wife and I decided to have fishes. At that time, we had no idea between freshwater vs salt water. The aquarium we went was freshwater main and convinced by easier maintnance and cheaper price than saltwater . So, we bought a 65...

I have a question.. when someone asks you what you’re hobbies/interests are, what do you say? I always say something like “fish keeping or I keep fish tanks” but they always look confused like they just don’t get it lol. So I’m just wondering if there’s a better way to word it? And what do you...

Hey everyone! So I have this freshwater tank that I've been taking care of for about 5 months now, which I inherited from former club members (tank is school property, I just do the feedings and maintenance). It has had a green hair algae problem for years now, but we manage it with weekly...

This white film on the cord of my uv sterilizer and other cords in my fish tank, what is it? I'd assume it to be algae. I've had this in freshwater tanks before, I believe. It comes off very easily and feels slimy. Just want to know what it is, is it good or bad, and how to minimize it or get...

Hello everyone, this morning my pet Glow Betta passed away and im not exactly sure why. He was a very healthy fish, and from what I could tell he was happy. Always excited by food, always did well after water changes. I took very good care of him. Its a 1.5 gallon tank but he had a filter and a...

Sorry for posting about freshwater here but this is the only forum I have and I need to go to work in the next 10 minutes. Two days ago I noticed a fish that I believe just had babies swimming oddly and sort of spinning top to bottom either near the bottom of with it's head in the substrate...

Hi everyone I attached a video of these super tiny clear/milk color bugs that float around my tank or usually crawl onto my plants. It’s been 6 weeks since I started up this freshwater aquarium and it is now fully cycled out. I got my needle leaf Java fern from a local aquatic plant seller who...

Hello everyone. I am pretty knowledgable with saltwater tanks but not so much with freshwater. My fathers freshwater tank has been having some weird issues, no matter how hard we try to increase the ph whenever we test it, its back below 6 (way too low), some fish have died from cloudy eyes and...

Howdy this is an aquarium for someone with neither a lot of experience, nor a lot of money. It can be scary getting caught in the confusion of thousands of products and options when starting your first tank. Well, this is your thread friend. Equipment: Tetra 50 Watt Heater Marineland Bio Wheel...

I'm about to make the jump from freshwater. After almost a years research I have finally decided to dive in. I want to do a reef nano tank, with mostly corals. My knowledge on them is limited although I will always study anything before buying it. I have bought a 150 ltr (40 G?) Tank. A sump is...
