I have been airing it out over night so the sulfer gets released into the air and I’m going to try to get it down I bought some bacterial medication in case it’s gill disease but I’m gonna wait until the ammonia is down Another one of my blue emperors just died (they’re in the 5 gal)

My tank has kinda stopped cycling for some reason and it’s hard to do that as there’s sulfur in my water (on well) but I’ll definitely try thank you

I’m looking to do a tree trunk and root aquascape but I haven’t found anything that I’m happy with online so I’m turning here. Please pm me or comment with a picture of the peice you’re selling and the price or where I should look next!

I know limestone is safe for aquariums but I was wondering if it would be safe for my aquarium? The range I need my parameters at is 6-8 pH with 5-15 dH my current water parameters (there’s no fish or plants in it currently) are 7.5 pH and 120 for both the GH and the KH. I was wondering if...

Hello, I’m getting my fish next week so to prepare I’m trying to get everything figured out. I’m quarantining my fish in 5G buckets and they’re tropical fish, I don’t think my heater would fit in the bucket nor do I trust it to not melt the plastic so how would you suggest I heat the bucket? My...

I’m getting fish in a couple of weeks and I’m getting worried about one of the species being able to eat the other. I plan on getting peacock gudgeons (get about 3 inches) and Asian rasboras AKA rummy nose rasboras (smaller than rummynose tetras) the rasboras only get about an inch and I’m...

This question is for future reference, I want to be prepared in case my tank needs chemical filtration. Is there a way to run some chemical filtration like carbon or purigen with only sponge filters filtering the tank?

I'm going to have two sponge filters in my tank. I was wondering since I have two, would it be ok to rinse one sponge in aquarium water (as needed) during water changes? That way not all of the beneficial bacteria would be rinsed away.

Yeah, and your article did give me some ideas, so thanks!

I really can't wait to get started on this tank! Unfortunately I have to wait a couple more months

Yeah I was thinking maybe a small cave and/or some driftwood coming out from the planted side

Thank you, I'll definitely check it out. Though there will need to be somewhere to hide on the right.

About one half (the right side) of my tank is going to be a sandy beach, not much you can do to hide it there. Unless I hide it behind a rock formation, one species going in the tank needs places to hide to feel comfortable.

I can't have a filter with a powerful filter, some of my fish aren't good swimmers and the plants won't do good with a powerful current. I also don't think I'll have enough room for a canister.

I was originally gonna do two sponge filters in my tank but I want a natural look so I was gonna do one sponge filter and hide it in the planted part of my tank (I'll be carful to not let anything grow too close to it), but I need another filter in there since the sponge will most likely go into...

What levels of which indicators would tell me not to add anymore?

Thanks, how do I know if adding the next group would be too much for the tank? I want to wait a longer period of time before adding the endlers, how would I know if adding them would make the bioload too much for the setup to handle?

Someone suggested not putting the gudgeons first as they are very shy on their own

Could I add 2 fish at a time if I wait 2-4 weeks (quarantine time) between adding fish?
