If you've started working with aquatic botanicals over the past few months, you've probably gained an awareness that, although these are unique and aesthetically beautiful aquariums, like any other methodology, they are not "set and forget" systems. Because of the very nature of aquatic...

Hi all - I have a 110 gallon tall tank with mbuna in it. I have had the tank setup since October, let the cycle complete and all my tests have been great until this last week or two. I have 2 HOB Aquaclear 110 filters running on the tank.. I noticed brown algae growing on my glass so I...

Yes, I have a heck of alot of lace rock in my 120.:D

What qualifies as a "high" nitrate level? The water from my tap comes out at about 60 nitrate. I raise angelfish, livebearers, and Bettas. I know poor water quality stunts growth, but what is high enough to stunt growth? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Hey guys. I have a problem. I checked my nitrate yesterday on my 29 gallon. It has 3" of sand on the bottom, and 6" of water on top of it. (The set up is for a dual betta-breeding operation) It was at 25!!!!! I changed out 50% and checked back today, and it's still at 25!!! It has no filter...

So, I've heard several folks talk about the best plants for using with African Cichlids, but do any of you worry about acclimating your plants to the high pH and hard water? Do you need to do it with some plants and not others?

I bought a Deep Blue SolarMax High Efficiency 30" light strip. Does anyone sell replacement bulbs? Is High Efficiency just a fancy name for normal output?

Hi All, Yup! I really saw an 'automatic tank' yesterday at the GWAPA meeting. :happy0158: :confused0068: I am not making this one up... At 5:30 pm everyday, a computer program starts the syphon. Water leaves the tank and goes to a drain directly to the basement drain. Once the water...
