So how does everyone do their water changes? All of the tanks same day? Large tanks on different days and all small tanks at once? Just curious especially those with large fish rooms and large tanks? I change the water in my 90 and 55 on Saturday or Sunday (depending on which day I have more...

Hello All! I live in the Woodbridge area and I'm calling out all other Woodbridge residents to ask your opinion. Do you run your tap water through a filter before putting it in your tank? I'm currently using API's Tap Water Filter and I'm wondering, is it really necessary? Or will just using...

Just wondering if anyone has used this product for water changes? It would make for far better storage than the python hose.

I want to buy a submersible pump to make water changes go quicker. I've never used a submersible pump before, so I'm not sure what to look for. I know the general theory is buy the biggest you can afford, but I'm trying to stay budget friendly, and not buy something that is overkill. Tanks...

Advice? I have owned my African Cichlid tank for about 2 months and have had 5 fish in the tank for about 5 weeks of the time. I have had ich in the first two weeks and had to treat for that then I had a 6th fish become sick with "Velvet Disease" and I and to remove him. Since then, I...

So, I'm 99% sure I'll have a new fish room in about a month, I'll post more details once I have them and know its a done deal. I have a dilemma, there is no bathroom in the basement, but there is water because laundry facilities and a sump pump are present. I need to install a utility sink...

Press release from DC Water. I don't think this should affect anyone water changes practices, since they're just switching chloramine to chlorine, and almost any water treatment that deals with the former should also work for the latter. Matt Mar 11, 2014 -- From March 17 through April...

I can never find a way to leave the test tubes up side down to dry. So, I got some of my son's legos and came up with this. How do you deal with your test tubes?

How similar are the water conditions in the 3 main African lakes (Malawi, Victoria, Tanganyika)? ie if I have 2 main tanks, and 4 fry tanks, could I keep all the water conditions the same and still be successful?

I'm coming to my wits end with my water. If I put Indian Almond Leaves in my filter in a bag or something of the sort in my filter, I know these will release tannins into my water, but what about testing? Will the color of the water in the tank affect the color of the water in the test tube...

Has anyone tried these? Are they useful if the fish you keep are soft-water fish (mostly new world cichlids, cats, characins, plus SE Asian stuff)? Jeremy wants discus and also wants some sort of water filtration for the showers in the house because the hard water bothers his skin. I'm...

I filled up 2 5 gallon buckets to melt and use like rain water... any thoughts?
