  1. 40b tank additional stocking

    Idk I had those plants and they died on me for no reason while all of my other plants did well... but goodluck to you! Yeah thought I would give them a try. Been watching alot of videos and he says that happens to some people. He said he is a master horticulturist but he has a certain easy...
  2. 40b tank additional stocking

    Bridtlenose are cool but watch out they might eat any plants you add and from what I have seen require a lot more food than most people think. Yeah thats what I'm worried about. Would like to try some bacopa caroliniana someday
  3. 40b tank additional stocking

    Thank you will look at the Cory's and gudgeons.The bio load is what I have a hard time finding. I would like fancy guppies or endlers but guppies seem to be my nemesis. Of course they were from petco (only option unless I ship) but have had close to 10 of them die in my 29 gallon. Never more...
  4. Why did the cycle on my tank take so long?

    So I kh test and gh tests show 300 from the test strips I have. My area has very hard water and we have a water softener running and I know its working. Our old house didn't have a softener and could definitely tell the difference in water when we moved in. Also forgot to add that I did put in...
  5. 40b tank additional stocking

    whenever my 40 finally cycles and I can add fish I want to have like 10 zebra danios and like 6 harlequins. What else can I add and how many? Also how do you determine how many fish? I have read lots of articles and can never find anything beyond really the 1in rule or suggestions on tank size...

    Thank you to whoever moved this. I realized after I posted and didn't know how to move it
  8. Why did the cycle on my tank take so long?

    Depending on test ph is either 7.8 or 8.2. So that is what is confusing me have read my ph should be ideal for the cycle. Yes I want to run both tanks. Was going to just swapped filters on the sicce 600s
  9. Why did the cycle on my tank take so long?

    So my 29 finally cycled after 3 months with fish and trying every form of bottled bacteria available to me. Newbie and I thought my tank was cycled after the first 2 weeks because the water got cloudy and was told this was the bacterial bloom. We then added fish. A glow shark and some glow...
  10. Guppies keep dieing

    So we have had about 10 guppies and the last one passed today. At most we only had 6 in a tank with 2 dalmation mollies ( 1 female, 1 male) and a glow shark. At first thought had an ammonia issue from tank not being fullied cycled, may have had this issue but got a seachem ammonia test and found...
  11. Different colored guppies

    After reading many posts on here have learned guppies can be a-holes and found out I need a few more guppies to keep the bullying down. So my question is in your group of at least seven can the guppies be of different colors or will the other guppies single the odd colors out?
  12. How to take samples and clean viles

    Yeah after I wrote that and read it later I realized I used the wrong vial.
  13. How long before you can switch out filter pads from HOB filter

    Thank you for this. I dont know why I didn't think of doing this cause the filter pads are actually able to be disassembled and I could just pour it out. Sometimes all you need is another perspective. Thank you again
  14. How long before you can switch out filter pads from HOB filter

    So i got a sicce ADV 600 that I want to add to my 29 gallon tank and then remove my filter pads with carbon in them for plain filter pads and add some biomedia to it. Tank has been running for almost 3 months. According to the seachem alert I have less than .05 ppm of ammonia. Just changed water...
  15. How to take samples and clean viles

    So i was wondering what is the proper way to take samples when testing water. Do you dip the vile and pour out any extra or use a syringe and fill vile? Also how do you clean the vile? Clean with only tap water or some other way. Have searched here and youtube and seen many different ways so...
