Wow I'm done with this.. Said what I too. lol.. It's no sweat off my back.

So the penny trick works. Only one problem, I have ghost shrimp in my tank. Won't they copper kill them as well?

I am aware. Just looking for advice and seems all you have to offer is criticism... Always. Im all for constructive criticism but you need to tone it down.. Not be such a "know it all". I read your post and sounds like your very knowledgeable but you need to brush upon your people skills. Maybe...

Yes daddy... I do a lot of maintenance on my tank and it shows in my fish and water quality. I also work 9.5 hrs a day 6 days a week and just had a baby on Friday.. Not every one can do daily water changes. I do like that hobbie and am not up to your criticism on every post.. With that said I...

That's what I posted in the original post... But I knew some one was going to get all crazy and tell me that... I also stated that I do like loaches and wouldn't mind them in my tank.. Sometimes people on this site need to chill and quit scolding people. Not like I said i was going to use them...

Yeah that's what I was told. They also are less aggressive and stay smaller... Hear say..

Yeah I meant to say vacuum the substrate every other day. That and the SOB is probably going to run up my nitrate level!

After a few weeks now I have been finding trumpet snails on my tank probably from some plants I bought. I try to hand pick them from the substrate, drift wood and rock but it's impossible to get them all. I just want to know which Loach would do a better job in helping the snail population. I...

Is it just me or do Sailfin Pleco create a lot poop? I had a little bit of alge on my tank walls. I went and got a Pleco to handle it and now my tank is littered with poop! I have to vacuum my tank substrate. Just looking for opinions from others that have Plecos.

I did 1tsp to every 5 gallons during my water changes, mixing it in the water as I do with the chlorine remover. I good stir and a few seconds and it should dissolve. As for it being less and less on the fish you need to vacuum it out of the gravel. I read that the temp speeds up the parasites...

It looks like ICH for sure. When I had it in my tank I took out all the media from my filter so that all it did was circulate the water. Adjusted my temp to 86. Added salt and a API ICH attack. Also did 25% water changes daily. Cleared up in about two weeks. If you can, you also can quarantine...

thats the bulb i have now. i just looked at the link. so im not going to worry about the light.. thanks for the advice

so i found some bulbs that will fit my fixture. they are "daylight" and says they are 8000k. will that do for my ferns? like i said before i am just using them for tank decor.. they dont need to grow super big and win any contest.

I jut looked at the bulb. All it says is "all-glass aquarium 15watt aquarium bulb"

I have 2 18" fluorescent in the hood. I wanted to put better bulbs in , but will the fixture it self have enough power?
