    Cracked tank question

    So a guy is selling a 300 gallon tank that is cracked and can only hold water about halfway up. I realize this question is probably too broad, so hopefully you all can help me feel my way through this. To the point, how difficult and/or expensive should I expect repairing it to be? Thanks...

    Tank smells.

    Alright you fish pro vets out there. I need tried and true advice. What do you do to keep the smell of your fish tanks in check. Currently I vacum my tanks once a week removing all decorations and really sifting through substrate. This however doesn't seem to be handling the issue. Give me some...

    Finally a tank I feel ok to show off...

    So I finally have put together a tank that I feel is worthy to post about. This is a 20L with 4 Laetacara Dorsigaras I am trying to pair off (though I am starting to get suspicions that they are all fellas), and 6 Ancistrus sp. "Gold Pucallpa" growouts. Plants are all low/midlight plants...

    Do you have a backup tank?

    I never even thought about this until my 36G SW tank sprang a leak last week. Thursday night, I see water on the floor. My saltwater tank was leaking. Luckly, I had empty 26G and 20G. So, I was able to move all the rocks, sand, fish, and corals in the two tanks. We were able to go camping...

    My Tank Leaked!!!

    My 36G Bow Front Saltwater tank sprang a leak last week. I noticed water on the floor on Thursday evening and the tank was slowly leaking. Instead of packing for camping, I had to move everything from the 36G to a 26G and 20G. No crack I can notice. Would this be a problem with the seal...

    How do you SAFELY break apart a cracked tank?

    I have a 40b that has a massive crack that has spread along the bottom of the tank. I tried to remove the trim, thinking a razor blade could get between the panes and separate them. I was wrong. I would like to get it into the trash/recycle asap but I don't want to hit it with a hammer, in fear...

    A surprise in my tank

    I've had six petricola/lucippinis from Dykemyster in my blue orchid 45 gallon for years now. No real action from anyone. The blue orchid girls hold occasionally, but spit eggs to eat. Never seemed to get the concept of holding. Then I was surprised with this today!!!:) Bad pic, but you get...

    Fish at the top of the tank

    So I came home today from working a 14 hour shift and find that the tanks I did a water changes on yesterday, the fish are at the top gulping air? I have air stones in both tanks making lots of bubbles. I don't have anything to check water, and fish stores around me are closed, any thoughts or...

    Should I be worried?

    Just filled a 55g, and the center brace has slightly separated (i.e., broken) away from the back edge of the top frame. Does this mean the glass is bowing, or I am in some other danger of all 55g going on the floor??? :eek:

    My River Tank Build

    So, as many of you know, I'm attempting to build a river tank to use so I can breed my flash plecos. I'm trying out Hydroton, clay balls used for hydroponics, as my base because my plecos poop a lot! Poop is always flying around the tank when the plecos move around in their current tank, and...

    New Tank - Nitrates

    I set up a new 29g tank on Saturday using a AQ70 from another tank. Today I added a Aq30 (I just like having back up) to it and noticed some small bubbles at the top of the tank. I tested water and 0 nitrite and 0 ammonia. I can never read these tests too well, but I have a orange for nitrate...

    Hospital / Quarantine / Fry Tank

    So, I have heard many people here say they use 2.5 or 5 gallon tanks as hospital / fry tanks so I have a couple of questions. When is a fish too far gone to bring back to health? How are you filtering these small tanks? Obviously a aquaclear from a 55 will be too big to move, so how are you...
