I found some pretty cool stones, and I want to use them in my cichlid aquarium. They’re not porous, they’re slabs of rock.
Right now I have them soaking in boiling water, and a high concentration of aquarium salt.
Will they be safe in my aquarium after this?
I expect the hot water and salt to kill any microorganisms that may hard my fish.
I just hate paying for a dumb rock at the store. How do they prepare their rocks to be aquarium safe?

I would like something that will let me know the PH, ammonia/nitrites/nitrates, temperature and water level of my aquariums. Does anyone know of an aquarium controller that can simulate sunrise, sunset, moon cycles, waves, and that kind of thing?
Thanks!

I have 3 ft aquarium and want to buy a 6 ft aquarium.

Hi, I really want to get an aquairium but I don’t really know what to get. I have 2 bettas right now (not together lol) and I really like having them so I think I’m ready to get tropical fish. I’d like to get an aquiarium that’s good looking, but not huge because I’m just starting. What do I need to know? What fish are good to get and which ones are bad? How do you clean the tank? Thanks

I’m trying to figure how much aquarium salt I should put in my 1 gallon tank… Instructions say 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons, I need to know how much salt I should put in my 1 gallon tank?? Please honest answers only, I have a sick fish that I need to get better and this will help.
It’s a 1.5 gallon tank, and it’s a fine size.

Right now I have a 55 gallon aquarium, with a large Marineland, hang on filter. The problem is that I have lets say, a top that was meant for a 35 gallon. I’m planning to buy the whole 55 gallon hood, but I’m wondering, on full hoods were does the intake and out take part of the filter go?

I have a ten gallon fresh water aquarium and just purchased a new 20 gallon.What is the best and safest way to move my fish to the new aquarium? I have a good algae and water balance in my present aquarium. I have a couple guppies, tetras, algae eaters, molly’s and algae eaters.
Yes, thanks. I did say algae eater twice. I was in a hurry.

Theres is a lot of fancy lighting for aquariums available these days. But are they an essential addition for your fish tank or more of visual thing?

Fish are such sweet creations. Fish are unlike other pets in that you won’t need a leash or litter box. You do not have to attend obedience classes, no registrations needed and they will not need shots for diseases. However, that is not such an easy thing to do. Even though you aren’t going to take all those steps, you still have to put effort into maintaining your new pets. Your job is to ensure that you keep the home aquarium clean. The following are several useful suggestions for steering …

I prefer a bigger pet fish as opposed to smaller ones as i feel they are more of a ‘pet’ and more personal. They have their own character and personality which can sometimes be hard to spot with the much smaller fish! There are several types of big fish available in the market such as the little sharks, big goldfish, plecos, discus fish and more.
