Yuhao asked:


What should I do to a salt water aquarium, if I go on a vaction for 3 weeks? I know that water evaporate very quickly and salt level increase all the time.

I was wondering how you place your aquatic plants in your aquarium. I always had trouble with my plants when I put them in bunches. The stem close the root seems to break but now when I plant them stem by stem leaving 2-3 inches between them, my plants do better. They actually do very well. Any suggestions? I’d like to add more plants to the tank but wanted some advice first.

The tank gets 11 hours of light per day and my current plants are doing ok with the exception of 1 stem.

The water in my outdoor aquarium looks like someone poured a cup of fruit punch in it. It’s pink. I clean it change the water and everything, but eventually it starts to turn pink again. I have four goldfish in it.

wtf asked:


I recently purchased an aquarium from somebody that was using it as a saltwater aquarium. It is very dirty and has salt caked all over it. I need to clean off all the algae and salt. Do I just use water and a scrubber or is there more to it? I read somewhere to use vinegar, anyone ever heard of this? Also what is a protein scimmer? The tank came with all types of stuff that I’m not familiar with. Can I keep any of the decor that was in the tank if I rinse it off? Thanks for any advice you can give.
I already have 5 fancy tailed goldfish and 2 small catfish in my other tank that I plan on transferring into this tank. The decor is mostly rocks and fake plants. I removed all of the old gravel because I want to use the rocks that I had in my old tank.
It came with 2 filters a dual bio-wheel and the the one that uses rocks with charcoal. I was planning on keeping the filters and replacing what I can with new stuff. Or can I clean the pads and wheels as well as the casing?
