Hello! I have limited space for my canister filter and so I got a Sicce whale 120. It’s horrible. It’s so finicky and I got a brand new free replacement bc mine was so bad after three months and now this one stinks. I assumed it was user error because it was my first canister, but I’ve since...

bgarthe and TClare So my ph in my tank after the broken filter was up to like 7.2 or something but as you pointed out it could be from the substrate sitting. It still was a few days later but now it’s below. The green is the tank The blue is the tap. It WAS almost 8 like a month ago and now...

TClare Also (I’m replying to bgarthe). So I got some fish. On a side note my ph is now 7 still. I attached pictures. Today is Friday. Prior to getting fish I had 5 very small peppered Cories. On Wed I got two Peppered Cories (I meant to get 3 but they gave me the wrong amount) and I tested...

Hello! Ty so much!! Ok so how do you think they would do with peppered Cories? I am considering native fish like bloodfin with the peppered Cories but I am very corpus about the blind cave tetras Would they do ok with the peppered Cories and panda Cories? I don’t have panda yet but I do...

Yes agreed. I just was so surprised but I bet that is it. It was so cute bc the fish were SO HAPPY when I turned it back on.

So TClare also Very bizarre I got the new filter put it in all the Cories made it but I tested the water and the ph is now 7.2 or so! And the gh and kh went up a point each but the ph was so interesting to me. The one pic you can see says April at the top is the tap and tank and the next pic is...

I do want to give credit to sicce; the new one is expected by noon today so hats off to them. Update; according to ups there is a mailing issue and they aren’t sure when the filter will arrive. I imagine tomorrow but who knows. I did find the AC 50 but as you know the tank isn’t at my house...

Oh wow ty! This one has 2 ‘drawers.’ The lowest//bottom ‘drawer has a layer of two sponges: the bottom is heavy blue sponge with larger holes and the top is denser with smaller holes like a thin version of an AC sponge. Then the second top ‘drawer’ has bio ceramic media. There’s actually no...

Thank you!!

Yes except this is all I have for plants as of now based on what lived etc. when I go back to the far store I’ll get more but wanted to see what actually made it.

Hello! So my sicce whale canister filter was not working well if at all even tho my ammonia was 0 bc I’m so understocked (5 small pepper Cories in a 26 planted gallon rank Well now the sicce is not working AT ALL since 7 pm last night (it’s now 11 am the next day) and sicce is going to...

Ty! Great idea:) I have albinos in my other tank so it will be fun to get a diff kind. I had pandas years ago. The albinos are so cool and out in the open even though I only have the two small and the one larger older bronze (so three) bc nobody has had them again yet!!

You’re totally right that I need to choose one since the substrate is either facilitating one or killing the other. That made perfect sense. And sure I can do it with inert but that’s NOT what I’m currently doing so for me it is a choice!! And I appreciate your kindness patience and help so very...

Yes now that I jsut read this I feel like a fool. I either skip the cardinals (duh) or do a substrate change. Yes I know these were the options before but I was really trying to make something work that COULD work but isn’t best scenario for me or the fish. So basically either fall in love with...

I will admit I am the worst at rehoming fish. Like terrible I always feel bad. What’s worse on your opinion? Aging the water for each change or changing substrate. The plants are very impt to me but not as much as the fish.

I did some research how long until the substrate woukd stop lowering ph and it said about a year and it’s been three months. So not long considering I have 9 months left.

Why is everything repeat posting and I can’t edit and delete? oh that’s RIGHT! I always forget the dither fish bc I had 30 green neons and they hid constantly. What other nanos work? I assume like black neons wouldn’t work. wait that was awesome and showed so many of the fishes I am curious...

I LOVE Cories but you cannot see the peppered in this tank AT ALL. They have become darker so they are completely totally hidden. So I would like to get albinos or pandas. The issue is that the only other tank I have is large and very under stocked but also has ANGELS sooooo temp issues. I wish...

I had one in that tank with my MTS and they did nothing. But I can try again. This situation is wayyyyy different bc you can’t see them (besides the eggs or rather newly hatched babies). Now will the assassin snails leave empty shells? Yes I saw one and haven’t seen another since but I will do...
