So I need to a bigger hose for ravity fed.  How much bigger thats the question. Since Im using 1in dia should i try a 1.25 and up or how do i figure out how much water flow there will be.  I using pvc pipes at each end of the gravity fed hose for water suction into the sump.    Do you think the...

I have an issue with my sump.  The problem is I bought a pump from petsmart that puts out from 264 to 500gph and Im using a 1in in dia hose for both gravity fed and return fed.  The bulk head Im using are 3/4 to 5/8 heads I believe I dont remember.   The issue is that the gravity fed hose does...

I bought a Hygrophila Corymbosa aka the Green Temple, but when I received it, it looked like a bunch of stem/branches sniped off from a bigger plant.   I was told that Hygrophila plants grows the fatest, and thats what I pretty much wanted in my tank, can someone help me.    

Finally was able to get some mature media from a friend in town.  Thanks to him my bacteria is blooming and progress is great.   Result: June 29 PH 7.6 Ammonia 2.0ppm Nitrite .25 ppm Nitrate 0.0ppm   As of July 2 Ph 7.6 Ammonia .50ppm Nitrite 5.0ppm Nitrate 40ppm   Will wait till nitrite level...

At this point I am ready for any advice, what you can teach I am willing to learn.  And I just gotten the product in today and will wash the tank everything tommorrow morning.  SO please let me know if you can help me.

Filter on the bottom of the tank are not very good, espicially if fish poop gets through them, they decay and turns into ammonia which you cant vacum out with a syphon.   Filter inside the tank such as submerge filter are decent if you have small tank or you dont have room to put a hang on back...

Yea, as soon as my stalled out 55gl gets back up and running, I can rehouse them in it.

Tank has stalled out   Ph at 7.6 ammonia at 2.0ppm nitrite at 0.0ppm nitrate at 0.0ppm   My 55gal tank has stalled and I was researching on a product called One and Only Nutrifying Bacteria developed by Dr. Tims Aquatics.  He claims that he grows his bacteria in a control lab and markets them. ...

Did not know that.  But didnt get the answer I was looking for.

I was wondering if or could a lion head gold fish be aggressive towards other fish.   Situation is as follow.  My 55gal is nearly complete and I thought I setup a small 5gal tank to get that bio system up and running as well to house spawning fish.  Threw the lion head goldfish in, hes about...

The last barb is swimming freely now with clean water.  What should I do next?

Update.   I found out it was the water, i believe I may have introduce something into the water when I picked up a rock from my backyard and put it into the tank.  Even though I was the rock with soap and all. That may be it, I still dont know.   However when I did my water test, this is what I...

I watch a youtube video on syphoning water out from the tank in terms to cleaning by Dr Tim Aquatics, that the bacteria lives in the gravel/substrate, so if you vacum deep into the gravel/substrate your practically taking out the bacteria or distrubing the bacteria. I think there is another way...
