lfs has some interesting shaped lava rocks.

So I have a little tank that is now empty, no water, no rocks. Been vinegar and hot water cleaned. it's just too empty. I am wondering what I CAN put in it. a single male betta? some rcs? It's got a small air pump filter rated for 1-3G tanks that came in the box when i got the aquarium from...

hey fish friends! so I have upgraded Twinkle, Little and Star's tank. they have gone from the 1.5 gallon tank to a 10 gallon tank, it's the best I can do right now! I added a bamboo and a leafy plant and some of my volunteer snails. Jump started the tank with biomax in the two filters i have going.

looking nice Jon!

interesting. I have read raving reviews for the purigen, not sure what it is though. I would like to keep my tank as simple as possible with only necessary components in the filter, my ideal is 1 foam and some bioMax. MAYBE 2 foam and bioMax, the bioMax I have found that I like are the Fluval...

Like the QUEEN BEE on your pro video B). awesome set up you have, very lovely greenery!

perhaps your refridgerator has a filter on it? it may be a RO filter. Have a friend who lives in an area with a well? and a link i googled how do you remove chloramine from tap water How do you remove chloramines from tap water? - Tap Water in Aquariums FAQs sounds feasible if you got a...

also will keep the zeo carb in until the testing kit comes in. New question: Is there any thing wrong with keeping the Zeo Carb in permanently?

Thanks, the Zeo is in a "convenient" insert package so I will have to resort to the latter method. I currently don't have testing for them parameters :X however the api freshwater master test kit is on order from amazon. See what kinda parameters I have soon. Thats a good idea, perhaps some my...

sorry for lag. I would probably use 50-50 water-vinegar your tank should already be sparkly clean from the other two washes.

I would use a salt water wash followed with a couple rinses and a dry. Then a vinegar wash followed by a couple rinses and a dry. My thoughts are that using vinegar last would be ideal because it is at least food grade.

Cheers! So the idea is to add ammonia, and then allow the tank to operate under controlled settings and the nitrate and nitrites cycle will begin naturally. Once it is basically zero'd out (ammonia ppm, nitrite ppm and nitrate ppm) you can integrate your Danio's and have a beautiful 200L tank...

Grounding I Second changing the ballast. Usually the only thing to go wrong with ballast fixtures is the ballast and the bulbs. Also the ballast should come with all the wire you need for the lamp. But you could also try cutting your wires as if you are going to replace just them. Plug it in...

I am running an AC70 with 1 foam, 1 ammonia remover insert, and 2 bioMax. I removed the Activated carbon because of my plants and the idea that the BioMax lasts longer and is more beneficial to the environment. I have just put in the second bioMax bag and plan to allow both to sit for a...
