Speaking of dream aquariums, I'm trying to get away from mechanical filtration altogether. I'm currently experimenting with addition and supplementation approach as opposed to subtraction. That...

That is a sweet tank! Does it have room for a sump below? As for your PH, its easy to raise it and make it stable than you think. Please see this link for the recipe. ...

Don't worry too much about getting rid of that carbon. Your tank is going to try and cycle no matter what. Unless you change too much stuff in your tank. Almost every part of your tank is involved...

Tom Aquatics Aquarium Surface Skimmer is cheap. Fluval has exactly the same design but cost more. They both work like magic in minutes.

Good point on both counts.

It isn't your fault. She actually saved you from the aches and cost of raising the fry!

Did she release the eggs all by herself? Poor girl. She needs the male to help her give birth. Actually, the male will wrap his body around the female to release the eggs. When the eggs fall, the...

I have 2 10K T8's for my 60 gallon and works pretty well. I think you meant 6.5K not 65K. Just try to find the highest K rating at the hardware store or pet shop if you can. Just make sure they're...

I guess you were trying to go brackish for your Violet Goby? Too bad he died. The trick is to slowly acclimate. An SG of 1.010 is a bit high for the goby. Violet gobies should be 1.006 to 1.008...

Your tank is cycling normally. The 45% water change will probably just prolong cycling. What kind of detoxifier do you have? See if you can bump up the dosage safely. Seachem Prime can be used up...
