Re: Canister filter maintenance
Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll check the impeller and hoses too. Didn't even think about the O-rings.

Canister filter maintenance
My canister filter's flow has been dropping lately. Gonna clean it this weekend but not sure if I should replace the media or just rinse it. Running a Fluval 407 on a 75g with a mix of sponges and bio rings. Any tips?

Re: About squiggy
That little guy is a real showstopper, I just love the blue on him. I swear, he's so charming, I wouldn't be surprised if he's got a whole crew of friends coming over for a housewarming bash - maybe even Laverne and Shirley made the guest list, haha.

Re: Exploring the world of caves

I'm not sure they necessarily claim a specific cave as their own, it's more about having a variety of hideaways and visual barriers to ...

Exploring the world of caves
Hi, just a quick question about caves in my tank. I've got pea puffers and Otocinclus catfish on the way for my 10 gallon planted setup. What's better for them - a cave with an entrance and exit, or a one-way hideout? I also wondered if I should have a cave for each fish, so they all have their own ...

Re: Growing green cabomba caroliniana
Just got my Green Cabomba Carolinkento4a and I'm a bit stumped - no instructions came with it. There's this little lead clamp thingy at the bottom. Do I need to take it off or can I just use it to weigh the plant down in the substrate? If I leave the clamp on, will it stop the plant from ...

Re: Accidentally dropped Xanax in my fish tank
I'm gonna say it, might be better than a certain herb. I experimented with plants in my aquariums, but I had to yank them out - my fish developed a serious craving, they'd munch on the roots and just wouldn't stop.

Re: growing and caring for anubias plants
@essjay Thanks for keeping me in check. I just got that java fern and I'm still prepping the driftwood it'll be attached to. That spot was just temporary, I appreciate you looking out though
