  1. What are you doing to your tank today?

    Added some Seiryu stones and a trim, was waiting for my Blue Rams to start to come around to get some pics as well, took a couple weeks.
  2. What are you doing to your tank today?

    Just finished up trimming one 20 long, moved some plants, and planted cuttings in my other 20 long. Tomorrow I will get the co2 back up and running on my second tank.
  3. Have fish varieties decreased in stores?

    The big pet stores maybe yes, but not the mom and pop shops in my area at least. I have had no luck with online fish, It's great for those that don't have local dealers nearby.
  4. Is this ich? If so, how do I not kill my plants and inverts

    Looks like ich, some will say to use heat which takes very long stresses your fish and not good for your plants. I recommend you treat it right away. I have had a lot of luck with ich-x, stuff works wonders. Good luck
  5. What to do with tank after passing of fish

    Sorry you lost your fish. Petco, Petsmart, Pet Supermarket and others offer a 7 to 30 day guarantee for fish. Not sure where you bought yours but just in case. They ask for a sample of your fish tank water to make sure it wasn't your tank. You can always have them test your water as well if...
  6. Does flourite grow plants better than other sands?

    Depends on what type of plants, you can always add Root Tabs if you have Root feeders. Having pressurized co2 was the best move, you will get much better results. Just make sure to find a good balance of light, co2 and ferts, it may take a while. Most plants don't need strong lights, it will...
  7. Help dieing fish

    That's cool, never owned Oscars but I've read nothing but cool things about them. I thought I lost fish before in the past and the end up turning up weeks later sometimes. Hiding in the filter or just in plain sight. Hope they turn up.

    Sorry about you Oscar. Nice tank, do you plan on getting more fish?

  12. What are you doing to your tank today?

    Bought an actual tank stand for my 20 long. Picked it up online at PetSmart. It's real sturdy, good quality. $140 and change shipped.
  13. Convincing fish to eat dry food

    If they are hungry enough they may eat dry food. But imo just feed what works. I have a betta that won't eat anything but fluval bites. I've tried several different foods but that's all he likes. He's going on 3 years strong. Unless you can't get your hands on what they like then why switch. You...
  14. Stand for 40 Gallon Long Aquarium

    Go with what you like. Get one that doesn't have shelves inside if you want to be totally safe. You can always put one of those plastic drawer things inside the cabinet for your fish stuff. Let me know what you settle on. I had a full cabinet when I had my 40b. Got it from Petco I believe. Not...
  15. Are these stands sturdy enough?

    Thanks, I had posted pictures but they were taken down. It says 10-20 gallon recommended. I can't imagine putting a 20 high because the tank would sit more in the middle of the stand as opposed to the 20 long that would be closer to the outer edge of the stand. It doesn't have any support on the...
  16. Are these stands sturdy enough?

    Looking for a cabinet aquarium stand for my 20 long. I found one that I like, but it only weighs 32 lbs. I actually prefer a lighter stand, but this seems really light. It has a metal frame but doesn't look too robust. There aren't any reviews either. Plus I need to remove the shelf inside to...
  17. Stand for 40 Gallon Long Aquarium

    It's not difficult, you just didn't get the right stand for your setup. I'm looking to buy a cabinet stand myself. Check out Wayfair. I found 3 that will fit your needs in like 5 mins. Kober Aquarium Stand, 40 Elayiah Fish Tank Stand, Chickerell Rectangle Heavy Duty Metal aquarium stand. All...
  18. How to preserve aquarium plants??

    Damp paper towels works. I have bought plants and they come like that, and been in transit for longer sometimes.
  19. New 20 gallon long on a budget - what to do about stand?

    I'm using a piece of wooden furniture for my 20L. It's made out of wood and has 6 pullout baskets. A good piece of furniture is going to cost the same or more than a fish specific stand. Just remember a 20 long with water alone is over 200 lbs. Just look for a stand for a 29 gallon tank, there...
  20. Stand for 40 Gallon Long Aquarium

    I like the way you think lol, that's the perfect footprint imo, but yes, hard to find. If you're still open to a 48" tank, the 60 breeder would be good for you, its dimensions are 48x18Dx16H made by Aqueon, see them at Petco it's a fairly new size tank. It's 6" deeper than your standard 55" and...
