fishthatfit replied to the thread Algae bloom? Completely green water.UV will clear it, but green water comes straight back if whatever fed it is still there. On an office tank that is usually the lights...

fishthatfit replied to the thread Help! Fx6s blowing brown water.A week apart is plenty. The point of staggering them is not disturbing both bacterial colonies at once, and that only really matters if...
-
fishthatfit replied to the thread White String + Ball.The string is what I'd look at up close. Anchor worms show up as a small white or reddish bump with a thin thread sticking out of it...

fishthatfit replied to the thread Help tetra with black growth on bottom.At seven he's old for a GloFish tetra (they're black skirts underneath), and eating less for months before this showed up makes me think...

fishthatfit replied to the thread Nerite snail hasn't moved in 3 days.A cup on the counter will be colder than his tank and the water goes stale fast, so I'd put him back in today. You can tell alive from...

fishthatfit replied to the thread -Harlequin-rasbora water flow.Going by rated numbers, the 207 is about 200 gph, the Tidal 55 about 250 and a Maxi-Jet 600 about 160. That's over 600 gph on a 40...

fishthatfit replied to the thread Plants exposed to treated lumber and black walnuts safe?.The lumber is the part I'd worry about with shrimp and snails. Pressure treated wood from the last twenty years or so uses copper based...

fishthatfit replied to the thread HOB Filter Flow disperse with sponge questions.The sponge only spreads the water out after it has already been through the filter, so the AC110 and AC70 still turn over the same...

fishthatfit replied to the thread Bacteria bloom Help.Your nitrate reading is the useful one there. In a tank that has finished cycling you'd see nitrate climbing, since that's the end...

fishthatfit replied to the thread Sailfin pleco juvenile surface gulping.That's normal for the genus. Pterygoplichthys are facultative air breathers, using a modified, heavily vascularised stomach as an...
-
fishthatfit replied to the thread Cardinal Tetras and Hard Water.The neon comparison is the bit I'd be careful with. Nearly all neons in shops are farm-bred, a lot of them in harder water, and have...

fishthatfit replied to the thread 29 Gallon Tank Found Rust in water change bucket.It's safe. Rust is iron oxide and it barely dissolves at tank pH, so a stain in the plastic isn't putting anything worth measuring into...

fishthatfit replied to the thread 350L (92 gal) transformation - project planning.That's a better explanation than mine. Gouramis and corys can both gulp air at the surface, so them being fine while the gill-only fish...

fishthatfit replied to the thread Female angelfish with uneven body swelling for 3-4 weeks.The asymmetry is the useful bit. Eggs and fluid both fill evenly, so a bulge that is bigger on one side and sits high on the flank is...

fishthatfit replied to the thread Common Pleco and White cloud minnows.They wouldn't bother each other, so temperament isn't the problem. White clouds are subtropical and do best around 64-72F, which is why...

fishthatfit replied to the thread 350L (92 gal) transformation - project planning.Fair enough. On whole leaves I'll give you the point; tanks like that one are the evidence. Where I'm still not sure is the crushing...

fishthatfit replied to the thread Sick Molly - What next?.Both eyes takes a knock off the table, so I'd stop the antibacterial courses. One correction to what I said, though: crushed coral only...

fishthatfit replied to the thread 350L (92 gal) transformation - project planning.Fair on the ammonia, dry brown leaves aren't a nitrogen source the way aquasoil is. What I'd still stage is the oxygen demand, since...
-
fishthatfit replied to the thread Honey Gourami quantity and flow rate questions.Opposite ends is the calmer of the two, so you're already where you want to be. The two returns meet in the middle and cancel instead of...

fishthatfit replied to the thread 350L (92 gal) transformation - project planning.On the die-off after you added soil: that reads like ammonia leaching out of the soil rather than anything you did wrong handling it...
