Karen, Should be a piece of cake. Prior to the move, check with your dealer for large plastic fish bags and, perhaps, a styrofoam box that he receives the fish...
I just went through a case of pop eye and fin rot in my 90 gallon. I took out all the filter media and treated my tank with maracyn pills for the 7 days it...
Lots. Go to Dr Fosters and Smith and check out all the freshwater fish you can get at that size. Karen [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I got cartriges called Aqua Clear that remove ammonia from the water. It really does help. Karen [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Not sure about the Potato deal. I just hope the snow will be nice and deep in the winter. As for the bagging of fish, it will be about a 6-7 hour trip. Won't I...
Better to blow up the bags with oxygen as Steve suggested. Then they will be bagged just like the internet dealers air freight them to you.they live more than...
Trade the german sheppard for a border collie. The bc can then herd the cats for you. <g> If you can use oxygen, you will not need to open the bags for a few...
Unplug the thermometer. You won't need it. I live in Texas and even with the air conditioning on I have a fan blowing on my tank to cool it down. Gena . ...
If you have cories don't use straight oxygen as they get a gulp of "air" now and then and pure Oxygen is probably not ok. a message dated 7/1/2006 12:17:13 PM...
As an added precaution, If it will be "cold" during your move, you can also purchase heat packs (you can buy heat backs that last anywhere from 24+ hours) to...
I have a foot pump that I blow up my daughters pool stuff with and an inflatable bed. It would be a cinch to use that.. karen [Non-text portions of this...
I would like to plan in the future, a large tank just for African Cichlids. I think they are such pretty fish. They are too aggressive for any tank I have. I...
I am saving all the information from you guys in a folder marked transport so I can look back on them when we move. Found a few homes, now, I need to check on...
I wanted to add that when I pulled out a lot of plants and rocks, I caught smell of something that almost smelled like rotten eggs. Really really nasty. I ...
Can tell you what I have for cleaners in the different cichlid tanks around here with I'll say a wide range of residents LOL have several plain wrapper plecos,...
I just picked up some at the pet store the other day...melonchromis auratus. They are interesting little guys... Of course I would just happen to choose one...
Someone told me, in my trials and tribualtions with getting my sons aquarium going, that live plants produce ammonia as a by product (off photosynthesis)....
Maybe rotted plant matter can produce it but, I never heard of plants themselves producing it. Anything that produces waste can get your cycle going. Getting a...
The plant produce CO2 in the night when off of photosynthesis, it's the grill of the fish who produce the ammonia ( a side of the decomposition of the food ,...
Well, if you are raising blue green algae, then they may have a point--"blue green algae (cyanobacteria) like Nostoc and Calothrix can fix nitrogen yielding...
Thanks Karen. I have been working with this thing for about 7 weeks now trying to get it. My ammonia is reading between 5 and 8 mg/l but it has been...
thanks once again for the information. I think we are getting it. Woke up this am with the tank very cloudy and it has been clearing throughout the day. I am...
I am so new too all this. The other members know so much more than I do. I feel like an idiot when I see them giving so much scientific advise. But, they are...
I have my 90 gallon that is 48 inches long, 20 inches deep, and 18 wide. I posted my story earlier that I did a cleanout. I am trying to get the water moving...
Ed after 7 weeks the ammonia should be 0, what chemical you have out in the tanks until now ???, 5 plants is not enough to make the ph shift from 7 to 6 in...
Does anyone know if heat will bother white clouds? I have one that when the temp is 78 and above, he floats near the top of the water all the time, doesn't eat...
Karen, What type of filter are you using? For that size tank you should be using a canister filter. The intake hose should be at one end of the tank and the...
Try aquascaping so that you can vacuum all debris every week when you do your water change. For portions of the tank that are not planted, use a Python or...
Ok, so I have my bettas in a 10 gallon tank with the female isolated. I was wondering what I am looking for now. They keep flaring at each other, is this...
