Building your own aquariums is not the easiest thing in the world, and often it is less expensive to find something that you can make do with and modify it...
Harry, Thanks for the kind words. Just a reminder though, it appears Jeannie may possibly overloaded her 10 with salt. While the amount she indicates she...
Unless you would be considering a 40 Gallon Breeder tank, which I would tend to doubt, there is a considerable difference in the length (wall space) of a 40...
I fought a huge battle with BGA for a number of months. I, too, tried hydrogen peroxide and it made little difference and damaged my already weakened plants...
I'll not tell you definately that this is okay, but when I had our tank blowouts, with all sorts of fish illnesses when we first overpopulated everything, when...
You can get one of those picture backs for the tank, put it on the back and the sun will not come directly into the tank from the rear. And my 66 gallon tank...
I've always let the parents raise them by using a tank divider, not a breeder net...they don't seem to need a tiny space if the parents are tending them...
The parents or other tankmates ate the first batch of eggs...I was going to let them try with this batch then changed my mind. In my indecisive rush I didn't...
As has been mentioned, there is something different in the one tank that has it from the other tanks. Determine what that may be--a rock, a piece of driftwood,...
I've had tons of freshwater tanks. This is my first salt. Fish store advised the Odyssea external on my 55 gallon. I did it. It's running fine. All zeros...
Algae can become a major problem in a tank with direct sunlight, not only the kind you are scraping, but floating algae of the kind that turns the water green....
Hi Steve I add salt because the pet shops have salt in their tanks. Jane ... Steve Szabo wrote: Jane, If your water is hard out of the tap, why are you adding...
The only difference between the tanks is a piece of driftwood that I've had for several years. It is some of that sinking stuff from Malaysia. The BGA only...
thanks for such a complete response... have been lucky over the years and never had the green water problem, probably due to the fact that i like my tanks to...
Some salt may be warranted, but you said you have hard water. If it is hard coming out to the tank, then you probably do not need to add more salt to it. Test...
Patrick, So far as I am aware, there is nothing that eats blue-green algae. The appearance of cyanobacteria like this usually indicates that there is a problem...
I will test it and let you know. Thanks for the help ... Steve Szabo wrote: Some salt may be warranted, but you said you have hard water. If it is hard coming...
Hello everyone, Well as you all are aware we are getting ready to move cross country! I know this is not going to be easy as I have decided that we are taking...
It could be some rot in the driftwood. I never thought about that, but some of it does look like it is getting softer than it used to be. If it is rot,...
I'd say that would be your call. I'd at least leave it out until the blue-green algae is gone before putting the wood back in. If the wood is rotting, or going...
Good luck with your move, but remember when moving fish, it is best for them to travel in narrow, upright containers, like kitty litter buckets or some such....
With my driftwood I watch it for signs of rot and mushiness (beyond that of the exterior sloughing of material) and when I see a soft spot developing, I take...
?????? What the heck was that???? I don't understand. Am I missing something? Harvest wishes Karen [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Hi Nope, guess your not missing anything. I believe that was written in the Indonesian Language and even I myself do not speak it. Perhaps the person who...
