I was wondering why my co2 indicator turned brown. I noticed it probably 2 days ago but didnt look close enough, just figured it was algae. When i fed them 5 minutes ago i noticed that it was definitely not just algae

Havent tested it in a while but its definitely cycled. I dont even really plan on stocking it, for shrimp the water level fluctuates constantly and for a betta the water current is too fast. Plus id have to worry about shrimp having enough to eat as i dont really want to worry about putting food...

Had this 4.5 gallon tank running about 2 years now i think, never really gravel vaccumed or anything. Its kind of overgrown in the grass plant, what should i do with the tank? It loses about 1.5 liters a week in evaporation, and i think it has a few cherry shrimp left in there

not really a fan of floating plants, at least not on this tank

I have a uns 5n which holds about 4 or 5 gallons. It has co2 and aquasoil, its stocked with some pest snails and about 4 cherry shrimp. Right now it has some stem plants in the back with some sort of carpeting plant and monte carlo, but i want to take everything out, gravel vac then...

I have a uns 5n, it holds about 4.5 gallons and is rimless. The lid doesnt fit due to my filter pipes, so it loses a ton of water to evaporation. Im looking to get an ato for it, any recommendations for reliable atos?

low maintenance is just doing less for the tank less often. Like less water changes, less plant trimming, etc

I have a 30 gallon tank with fluval 2.0 light, oase canister filter, an inline co2 reactor, and aqua soil. Plants are ludwigia natans super red, various rotala and dwarf sag. I want to make the tank low maintenance, where i only have to do maintenance preferably every month. Tank is newly set...

Yeah i have them on now but i really dont like using them

Just got a new canister filter but the lily pipes came with suction cups. I want to get a lily pipe holder for the inflow and outflow, but cant find anything for a rimmed tank. Any suggestions?

I have an aqueon quietflow 30 that was running on my 20 long for about 4 years. A few weeks ago i upgraded to a 30 long and added that filter right onto the 30 long. I just got a new canister filter with room for a lot of media. If i take the media from the hob and put it into one of the...

I originally had a baffle on it but the water flow through the tank was too muffled so the co2 didnt spread thru the tank, making the plants suffer. I kind of had to choose if i prefered the plant growth or the betta on this tank

I have a high tech 4.6 gallon tank with a canister filter that holds .5 gallons of water. Right now i have a betta, but he doesnt like the flow so i am moving him to another tank. Any ideas what i should stock the 4.6 gallon with? Needs to be something that is easy to feed and likes the higher...

Didnt realize it til now, my lights were on 90% intensity for 9 hours, just put it down to 7. Schedule was co2 1 to 11, lights on 3 to 12. Just reduced it, Co2 1 to 9, lights 3 to 10 at 90%. Stem plants arent in horrific shape, ill probably try to keep them and just hope the algae goes away...

I had a 20 long until 3 weeks ago, when i upgraded to a 30 long and started dosing co2 with the fluval planted light. I had 7 zebra danios in the 20 long, and kept the same filter but added 8 praecox rainbows in. Ive noticed some algae growing on tje plants, killing a lot of the dwarf sag and...
