DIY stand for 40B with 20L sump

I’m planning on building a stand for a 40B with a 20L sump. The problem is the standard design doesn’t fit a 20L underneath. I don’t want to end up spending a lot of money on materials for the stand so I’d like to keep it as simple as possible. I was wondering if there was any way to modify the…

Some tank troubles..

Yesterday I accidentally knocked over my DIY co2 and didn’t notice for a while. The tetras all gasping at the surface gave it away after a while though. I immediately yanked the co2 and did a 10% water change directly followed by a 75% water change. Unfortunately, it was just a little late, four of…

AC 110 motor/impeller shaft replacement

I’ve been trying to fix an AC110 this morning. I got the filter running, but noisily. I believe the problem is the impeller shaft. Initially I suspected that it was bent causing the impeller to rattle. When I removed the shaft I found down the center a spot that appears rusted or worn. So I looked…

Spec lighting

I just picked up a fluval spec for a nano planted shrimp tank. My question is what could I grow under the 30 led stock light. Would this be low, med, or high light?

Is this acrylic safe?

I just picked up a 125g acrylic tank today. It was filled and has been filled for a few years upon picking it up. After setting it up at home i noticed this white spot on the back of the acrylic. I felt it and it feels like a bubble in the acrylic and it almost looks like melted plastic. Is this…

Planted tank getting sunlight

My 55g is in a room with a lot of windows. I have it set up to receive minimal sunlight, but from about 8AM-12AM part of the tank still gets near-direct sunlight. I have the timer set to keep the lights on from 3PM-11PM. I’m wondering what effects the sunlight will have on the plants. I feel as…

55g rescape

So the 55g has been transformed from an African cichlid tank to a planted community. The plants arrived today and I just finished planting. I think it needs a little more tweaking, and another piece of driftwood. Also the wisteria on the left wasnt in the best shape after shipping so it needs some…

55g community centerpiece

Recommend me a 55g planted community centerpiece fish. All suggestions are welcome but preferably I’d like to have an oddball fish as a centerpiece.

Current stock includes corys, head and tail light tetras, a few otos, and a royal pleco who will eventually outgrow the tank and will be rehomed to…
