I actually just found out it is for sure Scutariella japonica and not vorticella anyone have history with this?

hey there, I am looking for anyone who has success treating a full tank for the Vorticella Parasite. i came into work this morning and found my adults had facial hair. looked it up, and its apparently Vorticella. I had brought 4 adults in to put in my 2.6 spec at work - tried to grab all males...

thank you!

Another question. I have boiled and now baked the wood for 3 hours at 200 degrees. Is it safe to use now?

The stinky one is gonna get burned for sure. We sawed the other piece into a bunch of smaller ones, I'm boiling the parts now, then I'm gonna bake them for 3 hours. Here's hoping. Any ideas on treating the fish? So far it's just the female gbr with the fin spot. And just that fun and just...

I don't think so, But the tank it came from does have assassin snails in it.

I am not sure if I am in the right forum. I have had 2 pieces of DW in my large tank for a few months. Pulled one out because I noticed some white spots on it, and set it in a bucket to treat later. I noticed a nasty smell, like mothballs emanating from it a few days later and decided to back...

She is/I am fine. not upset. just extremely frustrated. Yes i do weekly 30-35% but also monthly 50% - on all my tanks Yes , the nitrates are going down at 50% per day, My position is, and still remains as; how do nitrates, with regular water changes - filter maintenance, and plant maintenance...

yes going down. decor is literally 2 rocks and a piece of DW- not hard to yank out, so that was ok. and only a few plants. as far as dead things, the tank has only 5 inhabitants, and there are still 5 :) daily head count is easy.:fish2: and I clean out dead plant matter every weekend. and no...

i take a slight offense to that as i do weekly water changes of 30% every week on all my tanks. what i DIDNT do, was add the fluval filter media and yank all the decorations and plants and gravel vac every single square inch per suggestions on this board. that sir, is what i think is making this...

LOL I am quite sure, yes. :blink: and each time i did the test twice, just in case we are doing 50% water changes every day, and testing after each time. its going slowly down. :thanks: all so much!! :)

did the test, all other tanks ok, tap water 0ppm

Thanks to everyone, there is something however,that I still dont at all understand.: The tank is so UNDERSTOCKED, with both plants and livestock, i have no clue why the nitrates are out of control. last night, i did another 50% WC, pulled all the rocks and DW, and gravel vac'd the crap out of...

per above, very small stock 1 GBRAM 1 golden ram 2 amani shrimp 1 dwarf BN plecco I will do a test tonight, and another WC if still high ((moving all my rocks and doing a thorough GV)) I will check on that nitrate absorber

Hey there, no i have not thought to test my tap, because my other tanks are fine, its just this one. I will though when i get home. I only clean the filter intake when i do weekly WC, but once a month i take the filter apart and rinse it except for sponge ( i rinse that in aquarium water) and...
