Nah. Ive kept saltwater and am familiar with that type of ATO. Sensors fail, gravity doesn't, and id rather keep capped bottles filled and handy than monitor and house a reservoir. Maybe i need to get something 3d printed or make something myself

Anyone know where i can find something like this for a rimmed tank?

Well poop. I’m a little rusty I suppose. Been a few years since I kept freshwater fish

Agree with Demeter. I had similar parameters in my tank and got tiger barbs to breed of all things haha. But yeah, KH looks fine

Hey there, I agree with the above that they’re likely all males. The first is a Red Iranian (and looks like he’s in pretty rough shape), the second and third are Boesmani Rainbows, and the fourth is an Axelrodi (yellow) rainbow fish. They are all Melanotaenia Rainbows. mid you’re going to...

Where can I find cheap rocks/driftwood for a planted aquarium? Note: I realize with some research, a pot of boiling water, some muratic acid etc... that I could go find these things for free. With jobs, kids, a baby on the way etc... I’m trying to pay for the convenience of something I can be...

Thank you!

Hey All, I used to frequent this forum often, then I got into saltwater and lost touch for a while. Things look a little different now, and I’m trying to find a used freshwater setup. Can someone tell me how to get to (or link) the used equipment for sale section? Thanks!

Thank you!

So a little bit of an update. A LOT has happened since I started this journey. I lost a clown, that I shouldn't have bought in the first place, had sky high nitrates because I let the seller transport the rock dry against my better judgement, discovered vermitid snails, fell in love with my...

Looking for a wavemaker capable of at least 3000 gallons per hour. Preferably a maxspect or icecap gyre with a programmable controller. Thanks!

Fun update about those plants... if it makes it through shipping, the amazon sword has shot off a runner and already started 10 babies or so!

They (and I) got an auto top off. Stable salinity, ph, alk, and calc. It's december, so not christmas, but I'm counting it haha

So, Good News: The formalin/meth blue bath, followed by prazI pro in QT worked! I could see large opaque flukes all over the bottom of the QT tank :yuck: So, I decided that the inhabitants of my main tank (Benny the Blenny) should probably be treated too. Since I can't catch benny... I...

So far the remaining blenny and clown that were added at the same time look good and are acting normal. The clown hasn't picked a spot to host yet, but otherwise looks good. Formalin dip/prazipro QT was going to be my course of action, but now I'm not sure if I should do that or let things...

If it weren't for you I wouldn't have experienced or truly known just how cool marine tanks can be! Don't apologize! I knew better than to take fish from a store I consistently saw sick fish in, and I moved too fast. That's my fault! You're still awesome, and I will totally do that!

The difficult part is whether the fish was already sick when I got it.... I have seachem metroplex, kanaplex, prazI pro, and Ich-x (formalin and malachite green). Will have a heater for the QT tank tomorrow. So I could leave the tank fallow and treat them.... Problem is deciding what to treat...

Let me try to recap.... I traded the fish that came with the setup to a LFS I'd never used. Asked to come back at a later date to get a clown pair, lawnmower blenny, and a frogspawn frag. When I returned for the clown pair he "didn't like the way the one looked" but still grabbed the other...

Agreed. I bought an entire tank setup from a guy who was working off pretty old information. Just about everything was covered in algae, had sky high nitrates etc... I'm amazed the fish were fine. The elegance polyps had already left the base before I got the setup. I saw something like a 4%...

It didn't make it, but there was no skeleton base. Just the polyp. It would blow up every day and gain color, but eventually completely bleached.
