Main Marine Exhibit: A 114,000-liter (30,000-gallon) saltwater tank. It is 5.2 meters deep and features over 5,000 local marine creatures
Hello, I finally took the plunge into aquariums and I bought a Landen 60s, it finally arrived today and I was just inspecting to make sure everything is okay. I noticed that the panels can wiggle a tiny bit and I was wondering if this was normal.
Since they are held up by just silicon I assume a bit of movement is okay...but I'm just a bit paranoid.
Thanks
So I’m apposed to be doing research project, and I need to get these tanks (blue ones) up and running. There won’t be any type of fish or organisms in the blue tanks. And I’m also apposed to use instant ocean to get salt water system instead of fresh water. So please help me, what am I looking at and how can I get this up and running. They haven’t been used in like 2 years by the way.

In the past 2.5 months I’ve lost 2 pearl gouramis, 2 male kribensis, 4 red banded loaches and 1 beta in my small neocardina tank which had some scale damage (that’s why I moved her- so she could heal. I thought maybe there was some drama. The scales got better mostly but then got bad again and she just died from one day to the next. No pineconing or anything)
1 gourami did look skinnier before dying but was eating and pooping.
1 kribensis looked lethargic the day before dying but was eating normally.
The rest seemed normal until disappearing including all the loaches which ate so much and were fat and active as hell.
All my tetras and amanos are absolutely fine. My raspboras and neocardina populations are thriving. What the hell is going on? Why are these fish dying randomly?? Is it parasites or something? But if so why is it not more obvious? Why no wasting? Why are their colours vibrant? Why is everyone acting totally calm and normal??? I’m sooooo confused.

Got back into the hobby after a long time. Forgot just how much joy it brings to watch these little guys do their thing. Currently houses 20 micro rasboras, a handful of cherry shrimp, 8 pygmy corys and a rabbit snail. Would love to know what people think!
Hello! I have this 11ishg long/shallow tank (picture in comments.) Its about 35inches long and sits on the back of my (reinforced) desk.) It is done cycling, just working on raising the KH (and ph) a bit to stabilize. I'm not in a rush. I have another tank thank that is neo shrimp and green neon tetra. For this tank, I'd like something a littttttle more centerpiece-y and/or social? I know if I have shrimp, it limits my options because they will get chomped (I'm ok with some murder, but not enough to discontinue the colony.) But I will be staring at this tank literally all day while I work.
I have a fluval 107 with pre-sponge and optional air bubbler/magic fortune ball in the middle.
What would you choose/at what size schools? My ideal would be shrimp, some shoaling/tiny guys, and a small group of something a lil bigger, but that may be asking a lot. I'm choosing between chili raspbora, pygmy cory, otos, celestial pearl danios, blue dwarf goby? Killifish? Should I skip the shrimp to get more interesting fish?
ETA: I know the water is low rn! It will be filled appropriately.
Can anyone help me identify this worm? I found it coming out of a live rock in my reef tank shortly after feeding. It looks orange/black and somewhat hairy, but I can’t see any obvious white bristles. Is this a harmless bristleworm or something I should be concerned about?
We want to hear your input.

I know this might sound like a really stupid question, but... a breeder ended up with some deformed Ramirezi fry (they shared a video of them); the fish have no fins. The breeder is trying to decide whether or not to let them die. Personally, I would never do that, since the only issue is the lack of fins. Anyway, I’m wondering: if the breeder decides to cull them, could I take just one and keep it by itself in my small, heavily planted 15-liter tank? Or would it be better for it to just die? I realize how small that tank is, but... well, it’s the best I can do.
TLDR: The breeder is trying to decide whether or not to use the fish as feed. Should I let a breeder's disabled Ramirezi fish die, or would it prefer to live in a 15-liter tank?
Assuming due to the similar sizes the heaters will match up BUT please let me know! Thanks for any advice (links are also nice ;) )
Admittedly, I fucked up pretty bad. I've been setting up this 38 gallon tank after a long period of having it empty and dry, and I wanted to save a few bucks. A few weeks back I tried listening to people online and putting organic soil and capping it with sand, but it ended up giving me 38 gallons of bubbling, fermenting manure water. After a good week unfucking that situation, I ended up removing everything, rinsing all the soil out of the sand, and replacing it.
It was fine for a bit, very cloudy, but my research told me that it was just a bacterial bloom as a result of the sheer amount of unfucking I had to do. It's looking better now (much clearer), but it's formed this weird crust on the bottom, and I've started seeing mosquitos collecting around the edge of the water. It also still smells weird (not quite fermenting manure anymore, but definitely not the usual tank smell).
Should I do another water change and sand vacuuming, or should I just leave it? I really don't want to have to get rid of the sand.... it was 9 dollar black diamond blasting sand and it has been the only part of this whole equation that hasn't betrayed me
not looking for recommendations over $50, i’m on a budget. i saw this one is normally 80 and was reduced by half so i figure its probably a pretty good filter but i wanted to check with people here
i already have a 50 gallon sponge filter and a 30 gallon sponge filter running on this tank, i just wanted to get a HOB too because the sponges don’t pick up particle debris.
A few of these blobs have turned up. I have a bunch of shrimp, a handful of neon tetras and guppies, and a few mystery snails. Any ideas of what these could be?
I’ve had my 60L tank for about 8 months now and i’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not a fan of the plant arrangement.
Any advice on how to rearrange the plants, etc? I also have some Amazon Swords and Cryptocoryne to add.
Anyone know if this is typical panda mating behavior? 2 of my 7 have been swimming like this for the past 30minutes. Never seen them do this before. I've had them for about a year.
I have a 36 gallon fish tank. And I added ti many fish at ones. As I didnt know that could cause it. I have done water changes. Is there any way I can get it to lower. I have two micky fish. Two alge eaters and one gourme fish. Any help would be appreciated. Im new to fish keeping it has a heater and a filter.
