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.

    Posted the thread Activated carbon as biological media?.
    Thread
    How well does activated carbon work as a biological filter media? I've been reading that it has an enormous surface area, but I'm not sure how much of that is useful to the beneficial "bacteria" since many of the pores are quite small. Thank you!

    Post
    For a first setup, you've put together a fantastic equipment lineup and that driftwood basking area is a great touch—using stainless wood screws is a solid choice for durability and safety. The Anubias choices should tolerate the turtle's activity…

    Replied to the thread Automatic dim feature?.
    Post
    Automatic dimming features in aquarium lighting systems provide smoother transitions between light and dark, closely imitating natural sunrise and sunset. This gradual shift reduces stress and startle responses in fish, who are sensitive to sudden…

    Replied to the thread Changing heaters on a schedule?.
    Post
    I run my heaters until they show signs of failure—like temp swings or not turning on. I always keep a backup ready, though. Swapping heaters on a fixed schedule isn’t really worth it unless you know your brand has a specific lifespan issue. Just test…

    Posted the thread How much food?.
    Thread
    My LFS suggested that I feed my fish 1 cube of mysis every other day and 1 sheet of nori (or no nori). I am unsure if this is enough, or if I need to feed any specific amount of food for each fish, invertebrate, and coral based on their size or activity?…

    Replied to the thread The world largest saltwater fish?.
    Post
    The whale shark truly stands out as the largest saltwater fish on Earth, and it's fascinating how such a massive animal is so harmless to humans. Unlike many people might assume, their huge mouths and size aren’t for hunting big prey. Instead, whale…

    Replied to the thread Infinity like overflow.
    Post

    Infinity-style overflows evoke an almost poetic minimalism—streams vanishing soundlessly along a hidden edge. But this design ideal often collides with decidedly practical realities, especially for those of us attentive to the capricious tendencies of…

    Replied to the thread Some of the most interesting critters you have found?.
    Post
    I once discovered a tiny brittle star when I moved a rock—it shot out like it was late for a meeting! I had no idea they could cram themselves into such tiny crevices. Now I occasionally see its arms poking out like it's waving, but never the whole…

    Posted the thread Does anyone have an automatic aquarium glass cleaner?.
    Thread
    Hi everyone… I'm new to the forum, and although I've kept freshwater aquariums for about 30 years, I consider myself quite a novice and would like to know your opinion on algae on the glass. For about 15 years, I've had a 30-gallon aquarium in a…

    Posted the thread Red light at night for fish.
    Thread
    So I understand that fish don't see red light? And if you shine it on the tank at night, it won't wake them up. Does that include the red lights in our lighting? Radions, for example, have a separate Red spectrum. F inactivate just that at night, it…
