Hello all, I have a maple tree in my front yard, do not know what kind. But I placed 2 dried brown leaves in one shrimp tank. It has been there for about 4 days and I have not seen any tannins leaching yet, the water is crystal clear. Lights are on 12 hrs per day on a timer. It is only a CFL light, ...

We bought a water distiller from Sears for $150 a few years back. We used it for drinking water because the water softener made the water taste bad. It does about 1.5g at a time, just start it at night and let it go. That might be cost effective, but it has no minerals or anything else in it, it is ...

I have copper water supply pipes and my shrimp have been fine. I have had them since Mar 2006. Do not worry about the water from your pipes or the lead from the solder. The amounts are so small they will not affect FW shrimp. They might, however, affect saltwater inverts, like some polyps or corals,...

Java moss is not a fast grower no matter what you do, but s the ideal plant. Java moss grows quite fast for me in my 10g tank. In fact I had to cut my light down to 12 hrs per day it was growing so fast. Right now I take out about 20% of the java moss every 2 months so it doesn't overtake the tank....

Mustafa makes excellent general points. I have had Asian golden clams (which do not breed in a fish tank) for 15 months. I have 3 left, primarily, I believe, because there is little food for them to eat. My water has always been crystal clear, except when I stir up the tank during cleaning. Here are...
