I've made the switch to air pump driven sponge filters on all my tanks, from the smallest to my 55 gallon. I find they're more than sufficient for my needs. Occasionally, I'll bust out the old HOB with a carbon filter to do a deep clean, but that's about it.

I'm considering adding a supplement to my mystery snail's diet. I've narrowed it down to Crystalpro Shrimp Minerals or GlasGarten Mineral Junkie Bites - both seem like they could help with shell health. My snail currently gets algae wafers, unsalted green beans, and blanched kale, but I think one of ...

I've been using the Python for my bigger tanks - 20 and 55 gallons. The gravel vac works great. I do use the water fill feature but only during the warmer months since the water from the outside connection is too cold the rest of the year. I don't have an inside tap that the Python can connect to ...

I'm probably being foolish asking about a potential illness without any visual evidence, but I'm hoping the description might ring a bell with someone. I've had this tank running with these fish for about a year now, and I've lost 3 or 4 of them in the same way. Given that they were juveniles when ...

I usually give my betta a mix of foods - mostly Tetra bettamin worm shaped bites, and I also give frozen brine shrimp once a week to all my fish, including my betta.

I've experienced similar issues with my indoor faucets. I've been using the python with my outdoor faucet/hose, but I'd love to get it working indoors too. The thing is, using the outdoor faucet doesn't give me the control I need over the water temperature when filling my tanks.
