Are water is from a well and therefor it dos not have any chlorine.

How do i bring water to them. like what container should i put it in and how much water will they need?

What is the LFS?

I have tested the water 4 time to day each time it has been 8. I have been careful not to let the water touch anything besides the test tube. Me and my family are drinking the watter bathing in the watter and cant smell or feel anything different.Could there be something wrong with the test kit...

Tap watter test don with API test kit ( I estimated some of the results because they were in between two colors) PH=7.4 Ammonia=8 Nitrite=0 Nitrate=0 To do the fishless cycle i read that i need to up the ammonia between 5-6ppm but sense my water is already above that do I have to add any...

Is play sand the type of sand you poot in a sand box? I have hered people calling this play sand or do you need a different type of play sand for aquariums?

Im doing it fishless and adding ammonia

Should i take out my carbon filter while im cycling? I also want to change my aquarium to sand. Is it ok to cycle now and then turn it into sand in about 3 weeks or should i wait?

How much would it cost for me to replace my gravel to sand and and a layer of substrate and buy plants? Also how much should i plan fore a new aquarium light? I have a 30Gal tank. Where not talking about anything to fancy here.

Do you have to keep adding the substrate to your tank so there is always nutrients there? And what is all this talk about layering substrates?

Can I do a fishless Cycle with plants in my aquarium or do i have to wait? Also I have pretty big corral looking gravel in my aquarium is that ok for plants? what about changing to sand is there anything i need to know about that?

Sweet thanks!!

*Bump*

I found this wood that was floating in a creek that would look really cool in my aquarium. Is it ok for me to put it in or will it kill my fish? What about rocks that i find?

I just set up my new tank and have a questions. I filled up my tank with watter straight from are well ( I live on a farm) so the water is quite hard about 534ppm KH and 437ppm Gh I also tested are tap water that has run through a water softener and found that the water is just about the same...
