What I did was I basicly drained the tank, got rid of all my rocks/substrate and got new substrate cleaned out all the filter sponges and replaced the carbon. The tank is now up and running, everything seems to be smooth now, so overall, I lost 2 fishes, the rest are very healthy and a yellow...

I would say the fishes died probably 10-15 mins before I checked, after moving the rest into the hospital tank, they are doing fine almost immediately, it seems like there was no oxygen in the water thats why they were all at the top of the tank sticking their heads out of the water gasping for air.

I use a Python to change the water.

Hey guys, I have a cycled 46gal bow front tank setup and running with an Aquaclear 70 HOB and Rena XP3 filter. Here are my water paramaters after the water change: Amonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 5ppm pH: 7.6 Anyways, usually after a water change my water all milky white for 6-8 hours, but...

I've recently added 4 Elongate Mbuna to my tank and its been 4 days now, the fishes seem to be doing great in the tank, but they still haven't gotten back their colours yet, 2 of the 4 are very pale while the other two (smaller ones) have darkened up, anything I can do to help them? They are...

We'll I've had the tank running for roughly a year and a half, and my most recent water test everything seems inline. I currently have 7 mbunas and will probably add another 4-5 over time, just kinda wanted some insights from people who have actually switch tanks, I would then turn my old tank...

I'll be moving from a 36gal to a 46gal bow front soon (I can only fit a 3 foot tank in the spot in my home office) Anyways, I started running an extra HOB filter for about 2 weeks now in the same tank, so I have an Aquaclear 70 and a Marineland Bio-wheel filter running. If I moved both filters...

I've been keeping fishes for quite a while now and have gone from a 10 gal about 10 years ago to a 36 gal that until recently has been up and running for 1.5 years without any trouble, I've done a lot of reading and research. Anyways, my father-in-law just got into the hobby and got a 125 gal...
