Thanks So you are saying let it sit (keep filters on?) then after a couple months restart the cycle process again with ammonia doses?

Thanks Gary It sucks not knowing exactly what happened and I probably shouldn't of messed with things. As for some of my last questions should I start doses of Dr. Tims and follow the directions? Should I even leave my heaters on? With them off my tank will sit around 70. I was going to 1...

I had a previous thread up explaining some issues with my tank. Had some replies and opinions which was great. This will be a longer post regarding my timeline of what has happened and where I should go from here. I started up my 75 Gallon Acylic Tank about 2.5 years ago. Sand Substrate some...

Only logical explanation. Basically what I noticed is the fish started to swim abnormally (kind of floating around) would float down to the substrate. Lay for a while then start to move around (almost floating) and then back down to the substrate. And repeat multiple times But.... the 3...

Update... Did some water testing last night PH: 6.8 to 7 Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 10 to 20 (hard to tell the difference between the 2 colours) Did a 60 to 70 percent water change Woke up this morning to more dead Loaches. I have lost 6 of the 9 so far over the course of 24 hours What...

Something is going on in my tank My 75 gallon tank has been running for about 2.5 years with no issues up until Friday. 12 Yoyo Loaches (added 3 more this past Wednesday) 20 Penguin / Scratched Inpa Tetras The Loaches have always been energetic, always swimming, always greeting me at the top...

Thanks for the reply There didn’t seem to be any raised scales on their bodies before they died. Can you elaborate on some of the other foods I could be feeding? What kind of veggies? Fresh? No skin? Chopped up? Thanks

For my 75 Gallon I have a Python attached to my sink. Water automatically comes out then I reverse the flow to refill. It also works as a great gravel vac. I can also match the temperature of the tank water to the water going in. I add Prime de-chlorinator as the tank is refilling.

Thanks for the reply Shortly after I made this post the fish went downhill very quickly. It was swimming in little circles right at the water line and slightly leaning on its side. Sometimes it would stop swimming for extended periods. I left it for a little while longer then removed and...

I should add that the fish in question didn’t become bloated like this over the last couple days. It has slowly became fat over the last 2 to 3 weeks. It was this thing protruding which has started over the last 2 days

Over the last couple days this Tetra has developed a blockage of some sort. The tank and fish have been in this tank for over a year and a half. I have made no additions to the tank except for some plants a few months ago. Currently the tank has 10 Yoyo Loaches, 10 Penguin Tetras and 9 Blue...
