What kind of lights and bulbs are needed for a plant tank with no fish? Am sure it should be something that should have a big effect on plant growth as well.

It is always a confusion while deciding on the color of the light that we need for the aquarium. So basically what color do you use and why?

There are some special color-enhancing bulbs which is used to maximize the color of aquarium fish. So how do you choose the perfect lighting system for your tank?

I am curious to know how you all do the routine aquarium maintenance. Have you purchased any new equipment recently?

The best natural ingredient are the vinegar and salt which will remove any hard water stains and fishy smells. But make sure that you thoroughly rinse and clean an then fill up with water.

Basic maintenance such as replacing the diaphragm or flappers would be more than enough. You can even check with your brand whether they have an air pump repair kit. So that your work would be much easier.

Mine was shrimp. I tried them once and they didn't last long. So I am thinking to get from another source and try it out again. Wish me luck!

Guppies were my first fish. It is such a eye treat to watch them. Back those days, I was advised to start with guppies in my tank. They are very beginner friendly.

Chinese High-Fin Banded Sharks can only be kept with a wide variety of fish without having to worry about aggressive behavior.

I have Gold fish for over 5 years now. Probably this would standout among other fishes in my tank!

Even the pressurized C02 is bit expensive. I read in a article that DIY kits are available which are reliable and affordable too.

Nowadays, LED fish tank lamps are replacing aquarium fluorescent light fixtures.

Decorative sand zones are very popular in aquascaping. An open sand area makes the whole aquarium look much brighter. Plants are very useful as fillers as well, especially the various mosses. It acts as a buffer to prevent direct contact of stones and glass.

Java Moss is an excellent carpet plant because it spreads quickly and is easy to trim which is my top favorite. It grows faster in bright lighting.

Yes absolutely! Cherry shrimp, small snails and other non destructive inverts make great residents in a planted aquarium.

Anubias is my favorite flowering plant underwater. It is ideal for beginners and it produces flowers quite often. It actually needs moderate lighting conditions.
