Now that my nitrate issue from a couple weeks back is under control, I'm thinking of making another purchase for the tank. 3 options: 1. More live...
Hey, I'm new to the hobby, and have these 2 tomato clowns. Ever since I got them, they have basically stayed in 1 corner of the tank. They basically...
I already posted the same basic post in the newbie area, but got little response, so thought maybe in this area I'd get more. I'm just trying to...
Latest update if anyone is interested. Did 20% changes for the past 2 days and the levels are now reading in the 20 ppm range. I hope it was just a...
So, reiple, you suggest what? I get rid of the wet/dry? If so, replace it with what? All the fish etc still seem OK today. GravIT, not sure what...
HELP AGAIN!!!! Hello all, although this post has somewhat altered from the original, here's the scoop - Took my water sample to LFS and they also...
JohnO, I'm taking in a sample of the water to my LFS today. Will let you know the results of that as well as taking your advice. Will be trying to...
OK, not sure if I should put this here or in another spot, but figured it's a "newbie" question. I'm trying to understand what a refugium...
If it's not the test kit (which I'm not convinced that it's faulty), should I be doing a water change? I don't want to lose these fish (and shrimp...
Thanks for the responses... Don't mean to panic, just not sure what's going on. Matt, I feed the 2 clowns a pinch of flakes in the morning and about...
HELP!! Levels are still as high (if not higher). Is this killing my fish? Not sure what I should do, should I just do a major (like 25% or more)...
Also was wondering if the "wet/dry" filter might have something to do with it? i't using bio balls and I know some folks don't like those,...
I tested the tap water and it didn't show as high at all. I also started thinking about it, before I did the water change, my nitrates were perfectly...
Actually just did a 10% water change 2 days earlier, so I wonder if it is the water I'm using. So maybe check my water that I'm filling with and see...
I recently got the first fish into my tank and now my nitrate levels are pretty high. My nitrites and ammonia were both basically 0, Ph is 8.2 and SG...
Diver, thanks for the input. Nothing in my tank seems too upset about things either, just wasn't sure about the long term effects. Don't want my fish...
reiple. it's an aquarium decoration specifically, and I rinsed and scrubbed it a bit before puting it in, so I think it's safe. otisbrown, as for...
Any thoughts at all about this?
I put the decoration in (I owe you a picture), but now my clowns (the only fish in the tank), won't even go to that side of the tank. I thought it'd...
I've read in several places that we need to give the fish in our tanks a full 12 hours of light as they are used to it, and it can cause stress if...
