I have several AC 500's and a couple of 300's that don't work. When I plug them in; not a sound. They were working fine and then I didn't use them for a while. Now none of them work. Can anyone diagnose this symptom or has had this happen to them?

i'm new to this. i've got a 75g tank with 5 cichlids and 1 synodontis multipunctata catfish. he looks awesome but spends most of his time hiding in caves and rocks. i have never seen him swim in the open. as such, i have not seen him feed, so i was told to drop shrimp pellets in because he...

Is it possible to keep a tank cycled with only snails? Removed all the fish out of a 20 gallon a few weeks ago but left the filter and heater running and am wondering if the snails will keep the tank cycled. If I had to guess I would say there are about 100 malaysian trumpet snails that I...

Hey all, I'm fairly new here, but for some reason, I have a hard time maneuvering around the site. Is there a link or a page that tells you how things work? This site is different than some of the others I'm a member of. Thanks!

Hey all... I have always kept salt in my tank, but lately started using the rift lake recipe (Epsom, Baking Soda and Marine Salt). The recipe I'm using is about 1 tsp. Marine Salt per five gallons. If I have fish with injury or illness, I have always added a tbsp of salt per five gallons -...

I snagged my sister a 20 X High for her 20th birthday. Its dimensions are 20.25 x 10.50 x 23.75. She has a stand with 2 tens on it. The top 10 will be replaced by the 20 X High. Currently she has livebearers, barbs, tetras, etc. She has been to a couple CCA meetings and really likes cichlids. Is...

So i picked up some ruby reds from the last meeting and i'm loving them. One that has really grown on me is a little guy who is only about an inch but he's already coloring up like crazy. he has a little girlfriend, i was thinking of giving him and her a 20 gallon, possibly with another...

Well, the main fish with the issue is not a cichlid... its a knifefish... but since my cichlids are certainly gonna eat what he eats, I figured I post this here. It has been some time since I had any predatory fish. I understand that buying feeders from your local petsmart is, um... less than...

So, my 125 gallon is about to look like this: 1 Oscar 1 Bocourti 3 Jack Dempseys I kind of had my eye on a Pearsi... but I am think that is just pushing it too much. Is this overstocked? Can I add say, 1 decent sized catfish and a school of some sort of dither fish, doing 50% weekly water...

I have 10 yellow calvus. I have had them since October and they are finally getting some size to them. 7 of them have colored up yellow but I have three that have remained dark like they did when I first got them. Now these three hang out by the dark colored rocks I have while the other 7 hang...

I checked tank readings tonight on my JD's soon-to-be home. I got 0.5ppm ammonia, 0.0ppm Nitrites, and 20ppm Nitrates. This is my first attempt at a fishless cycle and it started off rocky as I followed some not so clear instructions. I've been at it for about 3 or 4 weeks now. First...

I have two Escondidos that I am thinking are females, although now I am confused. One of the females laid eggs, and allowed the other what I thought was a female to go over by the eggs. Will the female cichlid lay eggs even though there is not a male around to fertilize them? The eggs only...

I just realized I bought two different colored tubes of GE silicone 1. One is red and says kitchen/bath/plumbing and the other is blue and says window/door/attic/basement. Which one(s) safe to use?

Does it come in different colors? ie: Natural or white?

I have 10 yellow calvus all about 1.5 inches. I have had them in a 20 gallon tank for about 2 months now and I never see them. They are either hiding in the whelk shells or back in the rocks.When I say I don't see them I mean out swimming around, if I take a flashlight and look back in to the...

I finally bought some to test the rocks I pick up or buy, but I am unsure about how to apply it to the rocks without burning or killing myself. Anyone have experience applying this stuff?

Just picked up a new 135 gallon and need to purchase some pretty reliable heaters. I know everyone has their own opinion on items they prefer. I would like to get thoughts on different makes and models from all please as I have tried a few up to this point with mixed results. Thanks in...

I am running a marineland heater in one of my tanks (the black shatterproof one with the light in the temp dial on top). When feeding the tank today I noticed that the temp had dropped about 6 degrees. The light on the heater is green so I turned it up 2 degrees to see if it would kick on the...
