I don’t recall my parents doing anything like I am in the 80’s when we had fish so yeah I get what your saying Ray. Since I got the technology may as well use it right? Don’t get me wrong I love the hobby and the challenges sometimes, just don’t like losing stock so If I can stay on top of the...

I test about every 12 hrs right now on the new tank, my other tanks very rarely

Little hard to tell from the pic but the ph is showing 7.8, a low test is always the max. I don’t bother trying to adjust the ph, don’t want to be chasing that around. Our average ph is 7.53 as per the latest city water tests. Believe the range we see depending where and when in the city the...

Well these are some welcome results

YES! Exactly what I was thinking maybe three or four alone would have been just fine…but I’m impatient fish head with A.D.D lol

Yes I understand what your saying and aware of this things from researching much of these things. The tap water doesn’t show any ammonia I’ve checked this some time ago while having issues with Cory fry dying off once they hit the three week period, it wasn’t the cause but I looked pretty close...

Fish are acting fine, eating fine but now I see three other got the spot starting. So whatever it is I got to treat the whole tank once Im ready to move my Pleco and Corys out of there. I’ll start with a temperature increase and salt, give it two weeks and decide the next plan of attack.

I’ve removed the Danios and things really levelled out, thought I saved the Danios by moving to one of the mature tanks but over a couple days I lost two of them. Other than those loses everything has been ok. I been changing out 18 gallons a day on average, had a couple 30 gallon changes in...

I have the separate API tests, I should just get the master kit already

I haven’t checked PH, the water from my taps is usually in the 7.5 to 7.8 range, I need a PH high kit to check it but don’t bother trying to Ph down it , or chase Ph levels the fish been ok with it. I didn’t think I was feeding too much, usually a cube of bloodworms for the loaches, a very...

75 gallon, Aquatop 300 canister. Ran it without fish for about a week with used filter media , added some bacteria, then a few danios, was going alright, tests weren’t showing anything after three days, so tossed in four Corys……then we’ll the next day thought I’d put the two yo-yos in…..well...

So I’ve gotten too impatient with the cycling, didn’t wait long enough for enough bacteria to establish in the new tank before adding more fish. Lost a Zebra Danio yesterday, found one of the snails snacking on the corpse. Noticed a few of the others not looking to peppy and just doing a float...

I was kidding about the tweezers, I’ve isolated the one Cory, I’ll keep an eye on it for a few days still on the fence about what that is.

Grab the Aqua scape tweezers and rip it off?

I’m the slow process of moving stock to a new tank, was just watching my Corys today and noticed one has some white growth flopping around on it dorsal fin. I have heard of some fish getting protein spots/growths not sure if that’s what this is.. I probably have been feeding more bloodworms than...

I know I shouldn’t see anytime yet cause there’s really nothing in there, just checked my Ph and looked at all my zero level, I like to know just not assume it’s all good and ok to add a few small fish…just me tho. Now I got to figure out at what pace I should start adding the rest of my fish...

So it’s my fist large tank, I’m still setting up things and will slowly move all my fish and live plants to the 75 from two 20’s. Just using spare plastic plants and other spare stuff I had in storage while I’m working on stocking. I ran the tank for about 5 days with some bio media from one of...

Considered that, Id be concerned about the frame integrity after I chopped out a section Pretty much what I did, I’ll maybe try an RTV if this gorilla tape lets go

I’m sure somebody has had this issue. I got an Aqua top CF300 and a new 75 gallon Top Fin tank, started to set things up and the inlet/and outlet pipe clamps wont fit over the top frame. Has anyone got a work around for this? I just used gorilla tape and a couple of chunks of wood for the short...

Thanks for the input , it’s still alive I have stepped up the water changes and filter service, by some way or another its scales are coming back. Funny just this one got that problem, I do notice it gets chased a lot by the other Danios and at times my yo yos.
