In hot southern California summers, fans on my 55gal could easily dropped 4 or 5 degrees with evaporative cooling. As others stated, extra oxygen is helpful as Temps rise
One thing to remember is that the water that evaporates will be pure water. This will make your tanks tds raise. You will be...
Thank you for imput. The lack of ammonia just happened yesterday. I was doing 1 or 2 water changes a week due to health of fish in cycle. I'm hoping to see a rise in nitrate over the next week. With no major ammonia detected I don't plan on a water change in next few days.
I had ammonia reading for a month (after none for first couple weeks) ranging from .25 to 1.0 ppm . So ammonia was definitely present.
Ps. Unless the test solution is bad in my master test kit my results are accurate. I wash tubes with ro water inbetween tests. I worked at a lfs before. I'm...
Tangerine tigers can be kept in both (sometimes takes generations to slowly acclimate a colony to neo parameters) but outside of them, Maybe a few rare cases break the rule but NO not usually successfully. The problem is each needs different water hardness for proper shell density. Putting neos...
So I'm not new to keeping aquariums, I've had up to 25 tanks in the past. I never cycled a tank from start though, I got my first tank cycled and just seeded new tanks. SOOOO... I moved and am getting back into aquariums but starting from scratch for the first time. Set up 2 x 10 gal March 22nd...
As title says I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinion on 20gal tall vs 20gal longs for breeding shrimp. In the past I ran 20 longs due to larger footprint but my new fish room fits 20gal tall better.
I was just pondering as I drink coffee on my morning off. Why don't you see more patterns or spotted neocaridina? In caridina you have galaxy, calceo, pandas as examples, Lots. On the contrast neocaridina are mostly solid. Do you think this is because it is not genetically possible to do with...
I'm trying caridina for the first time also. Years ago I kept neos. Here to see what others say. But for my start... 2 of first 6 tanks cycling now. I used ro water remineralized, fluval stratum, alder cones, cholla wood, almond leaf, and guppy grass.
It's in own room in the basement. You run no filter with caridina shrimp? These tanks are for caridina shrimp breeding project after they get established.
I'm setting up a caridina shrimp room currently (cycling tanks now). I've only done neos in the past. Does anybody keep extreme black king kong, extreme blue bolts? These 2 are currently at the top of my list after tanks are ready.
Just wondering if 4 sponge filters is enough for 1 betta in a 10gal? Lol jk. I live in rural Iowa and have not made it to big city to get my next 4 tanks of caridina shrimp breeding project. The filters did come in the mail already and I figured it would help getting them in a cycling tank now...
