  1. Freshwater and Tropical Fish
    Hello everyone! My tank looks ok, but something is going on and I’m not able to eliminate the issue. I bought a new LED light on Amazon, since my original tank light broke. It has all the spectrum, based on the specs. But since then my plants are not growing. What light do you use? What is...
  2. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    I have a 35 gallon bow front freshwater tank from Aqueon. Originally it came with a T8 fluorescent hood. After its lifespan, I replaced it with a "DIY" LED strip lighting that allowed me to keep the same hood system. I know this is probably a commonly asked question. But am looking to replace...

    Description of Lights: "Incorporates a high PAR Aquaray MiniLED 500HD light system with 4 x lensed 10,000K white Cree XP-E PowerLEDs and 1 x un-Lensed blue Cree XP-E PowerLED. The white LEDs can be switched off to give a blue 'moonlight' mode." The tank is only a small 30L Nano Aquarium (I...

    I don't really get it. I know that most people like LED lights, but is there some reason tou NEED LED, or is it mostly aesthetic, because it makes colors bright. I'm starting up a 2.5 gallon pico reef with beginner corals(zoos, button polyps) and mushrooms. It was a fw tank, and the light for...

    I'm looking to start a reef tank and grow SPS coral. I would like to use T5 HO lights as opposed to metal halides. First off, is this feasible? What kind of set-up would I need for 24" deep 48” wide 120 gallon tank? How many watts? How many bulbs? What colour temps? Any information or...
  6. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    I have 8 Tropical Fish (2 Tetras, 2 Zebra Danios, 3 Silver-Tips & 1 Plec). I have had the tank set up for over a month now and have completed a course of nitrate and ammonia remove, plus chlorine remover. The tank is set at 26 Degrees. The fish are healthy. The only problem I have, is that all...

    So, I dont have aquarium light bulbs. I did have two, but they blew within two days of each other, and that was about two weeks ago. I found that regular 40 watt or 60 watt light bulbs dont fit in to the bulb slot, but that the energy saver spiral bulbs do. So now, I have two 13 watt bulbs...
  8. Beginner Planted Aquarium
    I want to convert my aquarium into a planted aquarium. I have a 47 gallon tank. I want to be able to grow mosses for the most part. Java moss, pellia moss, crystalwort, and such. Currently the only lighting I have is a desk lamp I've nailed to the wall. I've only been able to keep lucky bamboo...

    I have a Philips Home Solaria HB 171-A, intended for facial tanning. Could I put it up against the glass of my tank for a couple of hours a day to provide extra lighting for my plants? It takes four Philips Cleo 15w bulbs. I figure the UV shouldn't harm the fish, because the glass will filter it...
  10. Beginner Planted Aquarium
    I have a 20 gallon high tank. I currently have a Hagen Life-Glo bulb on for 9hours. I am having trouble with my stem plants decaying. I have lost my two ludwigia. Floating plants and rooted plants are doing better. From other reading, it seems I don't have enough light. My light set up is a...
  11. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Right now I have a 10g hood with lights but its old, the kind with the screw in light bulbs. The light it gives off is the ugly yellowish one, not the pristine white light my 29g new hood gives off. I want the light to be more like the other one. Is there a bulb or something I can buy to replace...
  12. Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
    Hey all, About a month ago, I planted my tank with a type of cabomba and it died a few weeks later due to not enough natural light i suppose. Now I was thinking about buying a flouresant bulb for the hood to promote photosythesis (can the bulb actually feed plants?) and rebuying some more...
