How to Safely Clean a Secondhand Fish Tank or Aquarium

More than likely when you started your life as an aquarist, you bought a secondhand used fish tank. Assuming that it didn't leak or have any structural issues, are an excellent choice to start with since they're less expensive than a new tank, which allows you to buy a larger one to begin with (and get the equipment with it at a highly discouted rate).

How to Care for Your Aquarium During Power Outages

A power outage may seem like only a small inconvenience when it comes to the grand scheme of things, however, for your aquarium, it can start as a minor item but lead to a major issue that can be fatal in the end. By having a plan and knowing what critical items are required to be taken care of during an extended power outage, you can make sure that any sensitive species survive without any major damage or issues once the power has been restored.

    Replied to the thread Do you wear gloves when working in your reef aquarium?.
    Post
    Honestly, I try to wear gloves, but half the time I end up just rolling up my sleeves and diving in barehanded out of sheer impatience. Yeah, I know, not the safest move—especially with all those sneaky bristle worms and random things that like to…

    Posted the thread The Myths and Facts About Fish Disease Treatments.
    Thread
    Ever heard someone say “Just add salt and your fish will be fine”? Yeah, not always. Salt’s cool for some stuff but not a magic cure-all. Same goes for those “miracle” meds—sometimes they just stress the fish more! Best bet is to figure out…

    Replied to the thread Petco 50% Off Sale (formerly Dollar Per Gallon Sale).
    Post
    Looks like the sale is back on, although many stores and the online store is not showing the correct pricing or promotional material. We’ll update this as we find out more.


    Appears that the sale and notice was in error, as the most recent sale ended May…

    Posted the thread Chiller Maintenance 101: Keeping Your System Running Smoothly.
    Thread
    Ever walked into a room expecting Arctic vibes, only to get Sahara instead? Yup, that's probably because someone skipped the holy ritual—regular chiller check-ups! Trust me, your chiller’s got needs: cleaning those coils, swapping filthy filters, and…

    Replied to the thread Changing heaters on a schedule?.
    Post
    This is a great question, richiep, and one that doesn’t always have a straightforward answer. In most cases, aquarium and industrial heaters are designed to run reliably for several years, but their actual lifespan can be influenced by multiple factors…

    Replied to the thread Have you ever had a Mandarin fish?.
    Post
    Absolutely, I’ve kept a Mandarin fish before, and they are as challenging as they are beautiful. The main issue is feeding—they almost exclusively eat live copepods, so you need a mature, well-established tank with a large pod population. Many…

    Replied to the thread Number of outlets on air pump affecting air output?.
    Post
    Alright, here’s the deal: the number of outlets on your air pump does matter, but it ain’t as simple as “more holes, more air.” If you’ve got a pump with 4 outlets and you only use 1, all the pumped air will just get shoved down that single…

    Posted the thread Understanding the Basics: What is a Protein Skimmer?.
    Thread
    In maintaining a healthy aquatic environment, especially in saltwater aquariums, it's important to manage waste and dissolve organic compounds effectively. One device designed for this purpose is an efficient tool that uses bubbles to help remove…

    Replied to the thread Combining Amphibians with Fish: A Guide to Compatibility.
    Post
    Combining amphibians with fish in a shared aquarium can be successful but requires careful planning. Compatibility depends on several factors: species temperament, space, water parameters, and diet. Many amphibians, such as African dwarf frogs and some…

    Post
    Love seeing a proper setup for a sideneck—your filtration and lighting choices look solid for long-term health. That custom driftwood basking spot is a great touch; using deck screws is smart for durability. For the next tank upgrade, consider planning…

    Post
    Hey fish fanatics! 🤿 If I could keep any fish, I'd probably go for discus fish. They're like the supermodels of the fish world—absolutely stunning with those vibrant colors and unique patterns. 🐟✨ Plus, having a school of them gliding around my…
