I am just setting up my 3 gallon aquarium, and I found some great reddish brown gravel at the pet store……Last year I found some great smooth stones on the short of Lake Huron that would look really good color-wise with the gravel, if I boil them, will it be okay to put a few in?

Mizzy asked:


I will get a filter eventually, but I’m on a budget right now. Will weekly partial water changes and frequent gravel vaccums with a siphon be alright? I have a 10 gallon aquarium. Thanks!

I’m looking to get a oscar, How much would it cost for the decor, gravel, water treatments, cleaning instruments, water conditioners, etc. Also what are the dimensions (LxWxH) of a 55 gallon tank?

I want a plant that is inexpensive and will not die within the week, hopefully. i keep the water in the 70’s and i have gravel, not sand. the aquarium is 10 gallons. and where would i find the plants that you might mention in your answer?

Dog asked:


Do they need special food or can they just thrive off of the fish waste?

Also, do I need to keep them in the plastic frames/pots that some of them come in, or should I just take them out and put them into the gravel?

Slick Rick asked:


I saw this great-looking 150 gallon aquarium at petsmart yesterday and I was thinking about how nice it would go in my house. I’d like to know from everyone, what would be your ideal set-up. I want to know everything you would put in it. From fish to ornaments, air pumps, heaters, filters, lighting, gravel, to sand. EVERYTHING! Keep in mind it would be a freshwater tank. I would incorporate your ideas if you gave them. Thanks to all that answer!

Momof1 asked:


The nitrate levels in my freshwater aquarium are high. I’m not sure what I should do. I did a 20 % water change Saturday and then again yesterday. The levels are still high. The tank has been set up for over a month and I let the tank run for a week before adding fish. When I did the water changes I used 1/2 distilled water and 1/2 de chlorinated conditioned tap water. I also added stress zyme biological filtration booster in the most recent water change. It is a 10 gallon tank and I have 3 mollies and 2 ghost shrimp. I have been told Mollies are not right for a 10 gal aquarium. But when I purchased them, at Pet Smart, I was told they would do just fine in a 10 gallon aquarium. I probably shouldn’t have listened to the salesperson but I’m new to this hobby and didn’t know any better. Please help!!! What should I do now? I don’t know if I can return the fish since I’ve had them for over a month. I cannot afford to buy a larger aquarium right now.
I do not have a gravel vacuume. I am feeding them daily, about a pinch. I skipped last night. I might have been over feeding them a little. The filter is a Aqua- Tech 5-15 power filter, I changed the filter cartridge yesterday.
When I first set up the tank I put salt in the water 2 Tablespoons. I have not been adding it to the water changes.

floridasun5 asked:


I just got rid of all my old gravel and I’d like to add the pretty white sand to my tank, but all of the sand options say marine on them. Are they still safe to use in my freshwater tank with african cichlids + 2 plecos? Or if not, can anyone recommend any fine grain substrate that would look similar to sand for my tank? I just dont want the chunky, large rocks anymore. Thanks.
