I'm in the process of setting up a tank for a RES. I plan on having Amazon Sword Grass in the tank and using rocks to make one area to get out of water and turtle dock to bask.

In work, I have a 10 gallon tank with Endler Guppies, 3 Cory Cats and pond snails with Amazon dwarf hair grass, Moneywort and Red Wendtii. My boss recently brought in 3 tanks, another 10 gallon, a 5 gallon and a 20 gallon long. I really don't want to do another planted for the 10 and 20 as the...

I'm trying to get a lighting system for a 45 gallon tank. It will be a dirt tank with a pressurized CO2 system. The light fixture I was looking at was a 2 light T5 HO ballast, rated for 39 W bulbs. If getting that, with dual growing bulbs, do you think I would be able to grow Rotala macrandra...

I'm in the process of starting a planted community tank. My plan was to have Cory catfish, Cardinal Tetras, Oto catfish and either 3 Apistos or 3 rams (2 females and one male). Since I have no experience what so ever with cichlids, so I introduce them first or last into the tank? My goal is to...

I was browsing once and found a stickie of a website that if you put in information about your tank, it would spit out if your tank is over stocked and if you have the proper filter set-up and what not. I'm in the process of setting a new tank up and was seeing if someone can link the site so I...
