I'm going to be setting up a 10 gallon aquarium with an eclipse filtration/lighting system. I've found that I can buy one with an 18" 15 watt flourescent bulb...
actually there is such a thing as too much light. anything over 4 wpg is really too much, and just creates an algae problem. for a 10 gallon, 30 watts of light...
... snip.. Yes, you can have a bit too much light, but not for the plants, really. It is more for the fishes comfort, unless you are growing low light plants...
Hi. I posted one pic I could find of my older cory. I have two but I have had the one in the pic for maybe a year and another one for a couple months. The tank...
... Not a bad over all shot, but I can't tell about the fish. A closeup from the side would be much easier to check identity. Fin length and coloration come...
Hi Les, thanks for your response. I don't want to blind my fish. But do you think 30 watts of light is too much for a 10 gallon? I had a 20 gallon tank...
Hi Amy, thanks for the information. When I had my 20 gallon long before, I had some plants that did well with the regular flourescent bulb, but some would...
I definately have a corydoras paleatus!! One of the photo albums had a pic of two of them and that is exactly what mine looks like. I got a few pics of all...
i can't say that i've heard of either of those plants. are you sure that they're aquatic? i did a search just to be sure, and nothing came up. there are...
i can't say that i've heard of either of those plants. are you sure that they're aquatic? Yeah, if you look up dwarf lilly hybrid ulvaceus, you can find them ...

... I don't think you'll blind them, but you might make them nervous. A fish only tank needs no light at all and the fish stay perfectly happy. 3 watts per...
Fancy plants are not my forte, as I can kill grass by touching it. Pygmy chain swords would do well, regular brazilian swords, java fern and moss, cryps, etc. ...
... Injected CO2 is just that. You get a tank of CO2 and all the gizmos to use it and bubble it into the tank. The plants use the CO2 as food and give off O2....
Hi I just joined a couple days ago. I have three corys all different types. I think one is a female at least. From the pics it looks like it (It is way bigger...
... There are over a hald dozen spotted corys in the common hobby, so look carefully. It is easy to find one that is close and then be wrong. Check the basic ...
My filter wasnt working very well so I decided to check the filter cartridge and it is disgusting so I was going to change it but I dont have any replacement...
If they are both adult, is can be very easy to tell the sex. But with many species like metea, panda, and similar, the sexes are very close in size and unless ...
... filter was. But if it was that grungy, the bio converting bacteria were probably almost overwhelmed anyway. Mechanical filters are good for that...sucking...
There arent many fish in there. I have two neon tetras (had three but one died yesterday) and three corys. I have ammonia stuff to put in there so should I?...
... snip.. Sure. There should be enough bio activity in the tank itself to handle that. And even if there is not, that load could not cause a problem in that...
Well, I got 3 zebra danios today for the new 10 gallon tank I'm setting up. I have a small corner filter running and put in one of those sponge "dirt...
I think they will do fine with that small of a bio load. You could safely add a couple more fish if they are going to be that size. If you are shooting for a...
Hi Les, thanks for the advice. The danios are still doing well today and have been very active. Even last night when it was dark I came out to check on them...
... snip.. A new tank can often trigger a breeding cycle if mature adults are added to the right conditions. Beyond that, they are very active fish, and will...
Hello all, I would really appreciate some help and advice. Here's the scenario: I am a novice in the realm of aquaria at best. I work in Nuclear Medicine ...
Outstanding.. The fungus often starts on the eggs that are not fertile and can rapidly spread, killing the viable embryos. This can be prevented by adding meth...
