    For Sale: Fluval FX 5 and Emheim Ecco Cannister

    Converted a 30 gallon tank into a refugium and don't need these anymore.

    Help with Cichlid

    I've tried API pH up, baking soda, and microbe-life 8.5 pH buffer/stabilizer. I can't get it to go up. I'll try the crushed coral.

    I just love the bug eyes on the striped guy. They're slow like the Frontosa.

    Okay, my husband came home with these fish. All he could tell me was that they were cichlids. Now I know what he does on his errand days.

    I've got bumblebee's, demasoni, auratis, moori, acei, Frontosa. Everyone is being killed like that. My 120g has dwindled in the last month. I've found so many dead, mostly with their eyes missing and small chunks out of their sides. All of them are the same size like this one in the pic. Except...
