water

I've noticed at the bottom of my tank, there is waste building up around my rocks on top of the sand. Does anyone recommend to take the rocks out every so often to clean the sand bed? How often if so? There is two mounds of rocks so I could do one side and then 2-3 weeks later do the other side..

Currently, I drain my water changes into a shower in my basement, but I've read here about folks using pumps to drain the water in their yards. (I do this with my two small tanks on my first floor.) What kind of pump would I need to pump water into my yard? I'm guessing the water would have...

How do most people handle water changes with fry in the tank? Most of the fry I deal with come from mouthbrooders, but fry from cave or substrate spawners seem to be much more sensitive. A few weeks ago, all of the fry from a pair of daffodil I have disappeared after a water change. They...

Hi All, Which would be the better method to fill tank. Should I put the water first and then sand or the other way?

We are looking at buying a new house - if I love my fish and want more, thousands and thousands of gallons more, should this be a deal breaker?

Sooooo here's my situation. In april i'll be going out of town for 6 weeks leaving only my wife to tend to my tanks (6 in total; 300g,90g,75, 2 40b, and a 10). Problem is she wants no part in doing any water changes while i'm gone. She actually told me i should get rid of all my fish and buy new...

I strive for the best living conditions for my tanks which have mostly Peacocks and Haps. I am curious what you guys/gals are using, if anything as far as buffers,salts, etc. I have an RO/DI water setup for water changes I add RO right to my water per instructions for africans. My Ph is around...

I have drained my 75g. There is still about 1.5" of water in the tank. I would like to remove this water, but I do not have the option of tipping the tank. What would you use to remove this water?
