  1. You shouldn't add prime water conditioner after adding safe start?

    Cannot say much on the cycle, since I am a newbie myself in this area. But for water testing, are you using stripe or liquid testing kit. If you are using the liquid testing kit, you need to shake the second bottle of nitrate testing solution for 30 seconds at medium to high speed and then shake...
  2. Saltwater ecosphere help

    If you want to have KH replenished, add crushed coral-fitting for the saltwater ecosphere- to the substrate, as crushed coral will slowly release KH and GH to the water.
  3. I had to put a blanket over my 6.5 gal.

    I had kept a blanket over my tank as well, but it is just to keep the tank dark at night for my fish. I am pretty much nocturnal, so the room does not get dark until 2 am~. For temperature, buy one of the adjustable heaters w/ thermometer, it made my life much easier. That is if you don't have...
  4. What Can I Do To Help Betta With Tumors/blindness Feel More Comfortable

    Spot feed him frozen food such as bloodworm or Mysis shrimp, etc. They are much more expensive but very nutritious. Frozen Mysis shrimp and daphnia are also high in fibre, so he will be less likely to constipate. The main food can be a high-quality betta pellet. But yeah keep the tank constant...

    Just how things came to be. Two standard tests were developed to supposedly evaluate student readiness for college. Two tests to profit from. A dark interpretation of standard testings.
  6. Is My Guppy Pregnant, Fat, Or Sick?

    See that black gravid spot on your female guppy. When it appeared and became darker like in the picture, she is probably pregnant. Just my opinion.

    I applied to most public schools, so standardized testing was really important, it is either the ACT or SAT for me. I suppose some college do make it optional and I wish all of them would do the same.

    I got a SAT score so low, I prefer not to talk about it. However, I considered ACT and got a good grade on it. Even when I am taking practice exams, I always consistently have higher ACT grade than SAT. SAT and ACT don't test for your ability to succeed, it tests your general knowledge and...

    Depend on your learning style. High School set you up on a standard path, in the university you get much more freedom and can really explore the topic you are interested in. I procrastinate a lot, so unI definitely made me feel more stupid.
  11. Betta Died After Week Of Water Conditioning

    Beneficial bacteria grow in your tank by attaching to decorations, gravels, and house themselves in your filter. They are necessary because the tank needs ammonia reducing beneficial bacteria to reduce toxic ammonia to nitrate, and other beneficial bacteria that have the ability to reduce...

    AP US government test, for government 312 L credit. My unI also discourages Natural Science major from claiming their AP Bio or AP Chem credit, as unI is on another level of difficulty and those intro classes are better taking in college to get a feel of what we got ourselves into.

    There's a set of class for every unI student to graduate, then there are your major classes, then electives to fill the hours in. For AP classes, not every college accept them nor do they accept them in the same way. My college needs a complement History test in addition to the AP government...
  14. Does The Penn Plax Small World Filter Actually Work?

    It kinda worked for me, as I clean our gunks from the filter every other week, but most of the build-up is just dirt and stuff. What bothered me about it is how the big bubbles would come out to the top and make things extra noisy. I switched to an airstone driven sponge filter afterwards, so...

    College tricks me into thinking that I can have my perfect schedule every semester, but even with my 12 credit hour course load, I still have class conflicts. Upper divisionsn classes sometimes only offer two classes each semester with the same professor.
  16. Partial water changes

    My nano tank has a large wood piece, so PH is somewhere around 7-8. My city water has a ph of around 9. Before I got a test kit that can test for ph, I always do 50% weekly water change and that actually raises my tank ph quite drastically in a short amount of time(I did not know better one...
  17. Betta Fish Is Sick - Help!

    I have a betta, 80 degrees should be cool to the touch but not cold or warm. You need to get a thermometer to get the water temperature right to not cause further stress. A cheap 3 dollars one from Amazon would do. That is if you don't have one already. I hope your betta gets better soon!
  18. How Can I Get Bladder Snails To Multiply?

    More food is always the solution: overfeed them with fish flakes and boiled lettuce and plenty of dying vegetation---that's how my infestation started. They can handle a lot, so honestly, you are going to see small snails popping up out of nowhere. You might already have plenty of bladder snail...
  19. Do Livebearers Develop Eggs Without A Male?

    I know that some female livebearer can store the sperm of males up to six months. It is also possible that the male guppy cross breed with your platy, sometimes it can happen. pulled from the internet "if you want to breed livebearers, then you should keep one species per tank. Or keep species...
  20. Ammonia Is Reading High!

    In my experience, my city water is around 0.5 ammonia if not higher. When I add the water in and test the next day with prime as my conditioner, the reading often goes down to around ~0.1 ish, and the second day, the ammonia is completely processed ~0. Just like other people suggested, as long...
