On a hike my friend and I found a weird alter (?) alongside a dried up creek that was off the trail deep in the woods. It was an old table surrounded by stones up against a tree with a baby doll head in the center of the table with little stacked rocks in a pentagram (five points) around it...

Yesterday while I was driving some back country roads home from work I saw something catch the light. I kind of thought "hey that was a a fish tank", so I backed up and sure enough there in the ditch amongst the weeds was an aquarium sitting upright with sand still in it. As I am always looking...

Can't be certain but it looks more like eggs of some kind maybe. I don't believe sponges grow in tanks unless introduced by some source.

I used zoomed creature soil for my insects and that also worked great for my plants to grow in. I did not use a heating pad for my mantis or stick insects, I just kept their terrariums in warmer areas of my room. With isopods you shouldn't have to worry much at all about cleaning the enclosure...

Yeah the over eating was something I was worried might be a concern. I wasn't sure if they would be able to reproduce in the tank given how deep it is. I guess I will just continue maintaining the culture as it is.

Would it be feasible or possible to just release a black worm culture into a planted five gallon tank? My thought behind this being that it would be a kind of free range food for the dwarf frogs I have living in it. Would the worms be able to live long term and if so would they reproduce? Thanks...

Your CPO may make snacks of the ghost shrimp but I doubt it will eat too many of them. I wouldn't call this too big of a mistake unless you were hoping for a successful ghost shrimp colony in the tank. Probably in a day or two though your CPO will calm down and just ignore the ghost shrimp and...

I think they make great pets! Just make sure you have a steady supply of food that will last throughout the year. Something between the size of a 5-10 gallon tank would be best - but keep in mind the enclosure should be taller than it is wider. Humidity requirements aren't a huge concern so you...

That's good to know about the invertebrates- especially crabs and starfish, when I'm ready for them I will have to do a lot of research into which ones will be reef safe. I will definitely be foregoing a starfish, I don't want it to die and or suffer in my tank. I also will be checking out those...

Thank you for the advice! I'm definitely going to be looking into getting an RODI device (I should probably have it for my freshwater tanks anyway). I had no idea about PAR so thank you for pointing that out. I am curious to know if corals or certain corals would inhibit my ability to have...

Thank you so much for this wonderfully detailed response!!! This information was super helpful and actually answered most all my follow up questions! Thank you again!

I'm looking to set up my first saltwater tank. I really like the 32 gallon coral-life BioCube tank because it comes with the filter built in- is this a. good tank for beginners? My dad really wants a pair of clownfish in it so what would make them happy in the tank? What are my stocking options...

Betta 6 chili raspbora 3-5 guppies 6-8 white cloud mountain minnows 3 dwarf crayfish Just a few options for consideration!

try to pop the stem/ leaves maybe- it looks like it could be a type of stonewort to me but it could very well be a type of najas or native/hybrid elodea of some kind

Do the plants in the last 4 pictures "pop" when you squeeze them?

I'm setting up an 8 gallon tank for my boyfriend as a gift. Obviously it'll be a few months before anything but plants are added while the tank cycles but I'm curious what the stocking options may be- I'm open to any suggestions! My boyfriend really likes my guppies but I'm unsure of guppies...

Its about 1 1/2 ft tall right now. About 4 inches have grown above the waters surface.

My water wisteria seems to be the most leggy

I guess you could dispose of them however you see fit. I've heard some people make "Snello" with excess snails and use it as a fish food I guess. Best of luck with the snails!

Put some cucumber in the tank and leave it overnight or for a few hours, then come back and remove the pest snails you find on it and repeat. You should be able to remove quite a few snails from the tank in this manner.
