Wow you are in the weeds of detail...but on the right track...but it seems to me for your main tank I would stop with adding any more of your ammonium solution and just get some small inexpensive fish like guppies and then watch the ammonia and nitrite levels, and to the same for your quarantine...

Seems to me this is old news - CV is here to stay, it never went away and will probably never go away. Much like the flu and common cold, all we can hope for is that if we get it it will be a mild case. And for all who are unvaxed, good luck to ya should you git it.. Let each person determine...

Seems to me it's easier to raise pH rather and lowering it. But if your tank and fish are healthy why mess with it. Still I'm sure someone will have an answer you just got to be careful with actually doing it. BTW Google is your friend..do a google search for Lowering pH in an Aquarium. a...

Exact number of plants....I don't think anyone can give you an exact answer, especially with floaters like duckweed, frogbit etc....your best bet is to buy a few plants such as dwarf water lettuce and see what happens. Alas this is not an exact answer, but it seems, with your tank you will...

So a while back I got a 100 gal tank complete with a Penn Plax Cascade canister filter. Well the unit is starting to make noice I suspect the filter head bearings are starting to go. Anyone actually taken apart the head and cleaned it, or am I better off with just a new cannister? for new...

Congrats just enjoy

there are a lot of great ideas presented here. Like all hobbies sometimes we just get burned out at some stage. Maybe it's cuz we start too fast and want to do everything we see and emulate the others. I think a break is goor at times and maybe we we get back to our hobby we should start...

Thanks 10 Tanks, so now I've got to figure out what exactly is a Chinese Evergreen...google here I come.

thanks all....as usual there are nuances that aren't always stated in the youtubes....

Hello, It's seems many people like to add pothos to their tanks. Some mention that they do a great job of sucking up nitrates. But has anybody actually done a pre/post nitrate level reading after adding pothos? I added a pothos and I saw no change in nitrate levels.

Alas with most live bearers yours' is an impossible task...guppies will breed like rabbits that's just what they do. you can always add a decent sized angelfish. I have a similar situation with a tank of red sword tails. Luckily my LFS will take em.
