Hey everyone, so as you may know from my previous blog posts, i have a huge algae problem. But, theres also a few things that aren't that balanced in my tank other than the water quality. I've got (other than algae eaters) neon tetras, cardinal tetras and some rummy nose tetras in my tank. And i've noticed that they mainly hang out at the bottom of the tank and it just creates a really bad look as if they are crammed at the bottom, but they actually have a whole lot of space above them. like…

Let me know your guys thoughts, comments, or suggestions ! thanks

How can I care for a Clown Loach? Ive seached for videos on youtube but there was only 2!

i added driftwood to my tank and the color got pretty yellow. I am aware that this normal and i knew before i bought it. I also know that the color doesn't harm fish. But I was wondering if anyone knew a way to solve this and get my tank back to crystal clear. THANK YOU!

So, because of my huge algae problem (my previous blog post, check it out need help!) i bought 6 otto catfish for my 17.5 gallon (66 liters). they are really helping, but just in one spot, they bottom right hand corner of my glass. what do i do to make them spread out to clean all over. they don't seem to be munching at the algae. just sticking on the glass. not taking care of the huge algae pieces. ANY TIPS?

What are these tiny white particles in my fish tank and how to i get rid of them 

Any ideas on how to keep my nitrate levels lower?  The only thing I have been doing is large water changes, 60 gallons each week in a 90 gallon tank. Any filter accessories out there to help?  The tank has a forest of plants, 12 or so larger fish with  6 neons and a half dozen  baby fish in the last week.  All my chemistry is great except the nitrate levels.  Thanks.

i just got a  huge rack and plan on starting to breed some fish.

So the other day i got a aquarium rack (like the one you see in stores ) and im trying to build a cheap filter im thinking wet dry and i have a few question 

1.can i use lava rock as a filter media ? 

2.when i got the system each tank was separate when connecting the sump so the top rack didnt overflow into the middle racks it just went straight to the sump. Do i have to do it this way?

So it's been a couple of months since i've had this enormous amount of green filamentous algae in my tank and it's really gotten to me. It's everywhere :plants, rocks, wood, glass, tubes, snails. i REALLY NEED SOME HELP ON GETTING RID OF IT!

So i've got a 17.5 gallon tank, heavily planted, not too crowded fish wise. I'm using the EHEIM professional 3 filter and dosing daily Co2 (my ADA cO2 advanced system now has a problem so i am barely dosing any now any tips?)  I dose a fertiliser…
