Okay, so I bought some crushed coral and put it in a bag inside the filter. I also added a very small amount of Flourish Equilibrium twice in these last two days. The other water parameters see checking out, so I'm going to contribute her condition to GH, or to the store/previous owner. I didn't...

Still kicking ;)

Hi everbody! I am here to learn about aquariums, and also to do my part to spread the knowledge I've accumulated. I don't have as much experience as many, but I have more experience than some. I currently have four tanks, all panted, ranging from low tech to high tech. I've had experiences and...

Hi Collin, and thank you for your reply. I just checked water and here's what I found: pH: 8 Ammonia: <.25ppm Nitrates: about 5ppm KH: about 200 GH: somewhere between 0-30ppm...! The GH is a bit alarming. I didn't consider this before, but it's the only thing that's not within appropriate...

please somebody reply :(

I bought a pair of african peacocks last week, and I just noticed the female's fins look like there may be something wrong! I'm freaking out a bit, as I've never had a sick fish before. I need some help please! I looked at some threads about fin rot, and I'm afraid this may be that. Thanks for...

Thanks a bunch!

Lol I see... how do I do that? (I'm a noob)

I can see where the drip system could be impractical. My two 75s are less than ten feet from a sink. I should be able to split the waterline going to my fridge and route it to the tanks. As for drainage, however, I'm not really sure what I would do. Maybe put a sealed lid on a 3 gallon bucket...

Hi all, I'm very interested in getting some sort of non-glass cover, because I want to cut holes for a fish bridge (if you're not familiar, it's shown below). It's basically a tube going over the tank that allows water to pass through (AND FISH!!! :fish::fun:). This would be beneficial for a...

I get it... I just thought 20-30 was a relatively safe range... I did WCs on all 3 tanks yesterday (15-20%). I'll continue to do it every week, for peace of mind if nothing else. I want happy fish :) And yes... bucket brigade... it sucks! lol But i'll get a hose/"python" this week. What is the...

I have a co2 tank and reactor hiding. No diffusers because it combines w/ water inline. I didn't know that it was harmful to fish... Maybe I should just convert to all plants/no fish in that tank. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy fish, but plants were the entire purpose of that tank :/ Less...
