Biological media, carbon, and plent of mechanical filtration in both. Have done a lot of water changes to combat the fact that I added 5...

I have a 55g long and am still green behind the ears. I was hoping to get some input if a male green terror and a severum would be compatible in a 55g.

Hi, I'm Calvin, I have a 26 gallon community tank with all passive fish, and I just got a 55 gallon tank. I was considering getting an arowana but I was advised not to. I was wondering if I could get your opinions on a good "spotlight" fish for my tank. Something that preferably would be big...

I just ordered the tetra whisper 100 for my 55 gallon, my plan is to use it on a 60 gal sponge filter and a 4 inch air disk. The easiest place for me to put the pump is on the floor on my stand so I'll have roughly 6 ft of tubing going up the back and down into the tank for each piece. Is this...

I have a 55 gallon tank that will soon be cycling with some baby tetras, so do I / should I add that bacteria u can buy at pet stores to help boost the cycling process? Also when cycling what should my nitrates and nitrites be around and what is high enough for me to do a water change? Tank...

I'm setting up a 55 gal community tank and was wondering if an electric blue ram would be okay in it? I'll be running the tank at around 79 degrees with gravel substrate and 1 60 gal sponge filter and a 90 gal canister. I plan on getting a gourami, porthole catfish, a few rose line sharks...

So I'm about a week or so from filling up my 55 gallon and let the tank start cycling, my girlfriends mom is giving me a few baby tetras to help it get on its feet so I'm going to do about 20 gal water changes at least once a week unless needed, my question is what all goes into a water change...

What pleco species that arnt super expensive can live in a 55 for life? Say around $40 range.

I'm coming up on being able to stock my 55 and I'm stuck between a bad ass fish or a lot of community fish. My original idea was: • 1 gold gourami • 3 rose line sharks • 1 hoplo catfish • 1 pleco • 1 batia loach • 1 rainbow shark And possibly a few other species such as a cray fish or African...

I'm getting close to setting up my tank and one of the fish I want Is a small school of rose line sharks (Denison barbs) but I also want a white crayfish. Would my barbs be safe with a cray fish around? Would it be best to let my barbs grow larger say 4 inches or so?

New to mfk. I recently got a 55gal but never set it up yet, also have a 29gallon just cycling, anyway I was wondering if it's possible to put a bgk and a red tail barracuda in the 55 for about a year? I was thinking I'd wait till the bgk grew just big enough where the cuda wont mess with it and...

I bought a 55 gallon aquarium with my Christmas money recently and I cycled it with the most hardy fish my pet store had. Convict cichlids. Just watching their personalities come out was just amazing and I grew attached. I have 2 males and 2 females in the 55 at the moment. They are not breeding...
