It was a AquaClear 70. It had a cracked housing and started leaking I bought a new filter... I took the some of the Bio Material from the old one and just started it up. After the 50% WC the fish aren't dying anymore but the water is gray and cloudy

Good stuff guys. I will make it so!!

Will do!! Thank you!

In a lot of cases i'm sure that may be the cause but I am OCD about it and change it at least 25% once a week sometimes more. Thank you. I don't think I am going to get to the bottom of this.. Could it be this cloudiness in water attaching to their gills? I still don't think the increased...

It is the Aqueon Water Clarifier. Honestly was just trying to clear that water up. I didn't overdo it. I stopped feeding them bloodworms and went to flake. I'm hoping my angels don't die. Just hoped someone would be able to tell me what might be happening or what I did wrong.

55 gallon. It is the Penn Plax Cascade Canister Filter 1000. It moved about 250 GPH.. I changed it from the directional attachment to the spray bar..the danios are also staying close to the bottom. I wonder if the clarifier did it? I also didn't mention about 2 weeks ago I had another Green...

I am having a mass death of my fish. about a week ago I moved from a Back of tank filter system to a canister filter. I took the bio media from my back of tank filter as well as one of the sponged. I also added a lot of fake plants (rinsed well of course). I test my water a little bit...

very smart creatures

It is just crazy how he somehow found a small opening in the hood. Heck it took me 5 minutes to find the little opening. Even worse these fish are practically blind...they navigate by electrical impulses.

I recently acquired a Peters' elephantnose fish. It was very elusive and and shy for about a week. Last night I did about a 25% WC and cleaned my filter. The water has been pristine but was gaining a percentage of Nitrates. After I was done the fish came alive in the tank.. he was like a...

thank you for your response. I have read about their electrical impulses. What ive been doing to try and feed Him/Her is I turn off the tank light and drop the Bloodworms as near as I can to his spot. The other fish are greedy and will eat all of it up before it even gets to him. They are not...

I saw a neat little gadget for fish like this shy guy. It is like a clear plastic tube that you can put "foliage" around so you can watch him

done!! thank you!

I recently added a Petars Elephant Fish to my tank. And the only way I can ever see him is when I turn on my hood light. He quickly goes to his hiding hole. Honestly a cool looking addition. He is so quick I only have a video..and this Forum doesn't accept mp4's so with coralbandits...

Just an update. My current levels are NH3 - 0ppm. NO2- 0ppm and NO3-20ppm. So it looks like I have arrived. Now to maintain!! Thank you guys for your help!!

I just wanted to say thank you guys for all of your help in this forum. I have finally accomplished what I wanted in getting my tank cycled: I was getting some Diatoms in my tank so I added a few Netrite snails and its looking a little better. Thank you once again community..

I'm using an Aquaclear 70. I use a python to pull the water out.

I have heard so many things.. honestly I have never seen my NH3 at 0 ppm at best it has been 0.25 PPm at best. I was doing almost 50 % twice a week and adding Prime. Then I had someone tell me to not change your water for 14 days.. I went 6 days and couldn't bear it and did a 50% change and...

Thank you.. good stuff!!

Okay.. I actually am using used 2 Zebra Danios, 2 Green Barbs, and a Glo Tetra.. when I start seeing ammonia and nitrite rise I do a water change and hit it with Prime.
