I noticed that all kinds of brownish colored stuff was accumulating on my rocks, plants, and decor. It killed my 2 plecos, and one shark. And ALL my snails. What is happening and what do I need to do?

I just filled my 30gal tank with freshwater. Added decor, plants, and some fish. The ammonia level is reading just below the bright yellow. Its more of a dull yellowish tan. What chemical is good to lower the ammonia and keep it at 0?

I filled the tank with freshwater, added the decor and stones, added five live plants, and added fish. The water balances are looking to be very good. The ph balance is a little off but coming right along. So my question is: how long should I expect the bacteria bloom to take?

How long will it take to clear up? Is there anything I can do to clear the water even when its conditioning?

I have one molly, one lg pleco, 6 ghost shrimp, and 2 snails. What is the best food for all these species?

I have a 30gal tank and I would like to know what kind of fish or inverts that I need to really clean the fish tank?

How long should I wait after I pour all the Bio-Spira into the tank to add fish? I will only be adding one lg Pleco and possibly two Columbian Shark Catfish. Will this be too stressful for these fish?

I'm getting ready to add some chemicals to speed up my cycling process. How well does Tetra Safe Start work with speeding things up?

still put my fish in it? I have my tank filled with freshwater and its doing its normal clouding up and cycling. My question tho is: can I still put my fish in there?

I just got done pouring my stones, arranging my fish tank decor, and filling my tank with freshwater. It is still a little cloudy, so how soon should I condition the water with "stress coat" and "bio-boost"?
