Real plants. Hence why I'm getting a new light.

I am getting a new light so I need a new lid. My current lid is black plastic with built in LED's and a feeding door. What should I use as a lid that would let light through for preferably <$15. Links and suggestions welcome.

Thanks! I have a 10 gallon fish tank with tetras. I don't really know my water hardness but my temperature is 75 degrees farenheit, and my ph is around 7.8. It is on the high side. It has been that high forever so I don't think it is that. I can't figure out how to get photos right now as I am...

After reading that according to the article it is a potassium deficiency, and a phosphate deficiency. Thanks! I'll take that into consideration. I'll start dosing 8ml instead of 5ml.

I have had quite a few plants in the past. When I first got my aquarium, my plants were doing great. My amazon sword was flourishing. I use API leaf zone for my plants, and I dose 5mm weekly. But after about 3-4 months of having my tank, my plants were starting to die. All of mine keep dying...

I have had the same problem with my plants, and I don't think I can be of any help with that. But tetra makes some ich tablets that will work in 2-3 days time from my experience. It is only around $10 from what I remember. You can find it at petsmart. It works great. Just follow the dosage...

As y'all know from my previous threads, I have pufferfish problems. What I did was rehome them. My parents really like pufferfish because they used to have one, so they offered to pay for a tank for them as long as I take care of the tank and the fish. And I gave my cory cats to my LFS. I put a...

Would the nerite snails eat my live plants too?

Ok I'll rehome them. But which algae eaters could I get for my tank?

I am not sure. I presume them to be chinese algae eaters, which I have learned on this forum that they are too big for a 10 gallon. But plecos seem too big for a 10 gallon too. I may get rid of them, but they are very helpful in my tank and they are <2.5in I'm donating the cory cats to my LFS...

Those are some pretty cool picks. I will take your advice on the danios, and look into the other fish you've suggested!

Right now I have 5 black neon tetras, 2 algae eaters, 3 zebra danios, and 3 corydoras and 3 BB puffers that i'm getting rid of.

I have figured out how I am going to get rid of my puffers and cory cats. Now I need some suggestions on re-stocking my tank. I'm thinking about getting quite a few tetras and danios to make my tank colorful and look full. I would like some more suggestions, corrections on my idea, or feedback...

My previous guppies that have since passed away had babies and I didn't want to have a ton of baby guppies, and he gladly took them off of my hands. I'll offer him that deal. Chances are he will decline it and I will end up "donating" them back to him. But if nothing else that helps me keep my...

I'm trying to keep giving them to my LFS a last-ish resort. I've given him fish before, and He doesn't take returns on live animals. It's probably the best choice, but I paid $25 for them and would not like the money to go to waste.

I made a post yesterday about some fish that are no good for my tank, and got lot's of advice. But I don't know of a way to take my fish out of my tank and get them to somewhere good for them. I don't want my money to go to waste but I don't want my tetras to die, and my puffers to bully all of...

I use Tetramin Tropical flakes

I'll keep that in mind This is the smaller one of the 2

Maybe not. That's just what they were labeled. They are the same species as the vaguely labeled "Algae Eaters" at Petsmart. But I got these at my LFS. So I don't really know.

Dang I'm a lot more of a beginner than I thought I was. I'll use that information. I just haven't seen my algae eaters get any bigger than 1.5-2.5 inches in the 1 year I've had them. One of them is really small and they other one is a bit bigger. I think they are just growing for the tank size...
