First Planted tank almost finished after moving everything around 322 times.

How my tanks have changed over the last 6 months My first two tanks ever are kinda obvious. I sold the second photo for a 40 breeder then got a 55 cichlid tank. And the fourth photo a rack im working on. The last is my first tank remodeled.

I've had no issues with it so far. It seems pretty sturdy. If you need that ease of mind you could definitely fabricate something. But I wouldn't be too worried about it.

Yes! the topfins 35 inch glass canopy fits perfectly only 30 dollars as well

I don't have those in this tank those are in my other 5 tanks, I was just listing those to omit those fish as options because I was looking for fish I don't currently have.

I do have some filter media in there, those goldfish just speed up the "instant cycle" but they will be going to my friends oscar. Thanks for the suggestion! I have bosemani rainbows in a different tank. Any ones in particular you like most?

I'm currently cycling a new 40 breeder tank. This will be my sixth tank. But I'm extremely indecisive. I wanted to do a Chidongo saulosi colony but there sold out everywhere. I was thinking about a pair of convicts but now I want the tank somewhat planted. In other tanks I already have...

Just bought a 40 gallon breeder and need some help with ideas for stocking. I really want to do a Saulosi Colony. But I wanted to see what other options there are in terms of african cichlids. Here are my Questions What other cichlids can I mix with saulosi? And what number and ratio for those...

Thanks for the advice! I was leaning towards blue acaras. As far as the geophagus brasiliensis how fast do they grow. Because my buddy has those and they're pretty big.

I should have explained I'm not putting all of those in my tank. The only forsure ones are one or two blood parrots. But out of the list which ones would fare best with the blood parrots.

Thanks for the reply! I've been soaking it for a few days now. I took a piece out scrubbed and rinsed it and went to dry it with a paper towel and it stained it brown no matter how many times I rubbed it. Seems like this particular tile has ALOT of rust on it. Most of my pieces are 50-70%...

I just bought a 55 Gallon tank I'm Currently cycling and wanted to know some other cichlids that would be compatible with one or two blood parrots. For as popular as they are there's not much information I can find on their tank mates. And articles on google I take with a grain of salt as they...

I ended up buying a pack to test them. No bubbling. But I do have alot of red all over these tiles. is this rust or just the coloring of slate. And is rust toxic to fish?

Someone pointed out theres a warning that the product may contain silica. You know of any alternatives?

I want to get some natural slate from lowes to build some hides. But I can't find any info or other aquarists who have used this. Just wanted to know if there's anyone out there who has any experience with this slate. The link is below...

Thanks for the reply! I will get a different test done soon, I have about 10-15 minnows and feeding them a good amount. Any suggestions on fertilizer?

Thanks for the reply! And I did stir up my substrate with my siphon a bit. Didn’t know that would effect my levels. Oops! When this hurricane passes I’ll visit my lfs for some pothos and a second opinion on my water test if the levels are maybe off. Will continue to water change and monitor...

The other day one of my fish died overnight in my established 10 gallon. I tested my waters with the api master kit and my nitrites were off the charts purple. My ammonia is zero and my nitrates are about 5 ppm. Not sure why my ammonia didn't spike. My kit is not expired and it reads zero...

I'm currently cycling my planted 29 gallon tank going in to week 3 now. And there's no detectable ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates with my API master kit. The kit is not expired and is reading nitrates and nitrites on my other aquarium. I let the tank run for about two weeks use with some bio...
