The tank has been up and going for almost six months and it do a few cycles before I added the fish in January. What would cause it to go through another cycle in this stage?

Okay I have got a 36 gallon bow with 7 Neo Plunkers "daffodils" and they have been in the tank for three months. The bad news is In the last few weeks I have had this explosion of red hair like algae. I am doing a 10-20% water change every three or four days and turned the lights down to 7...

I have a 36 bow front tank and I will be doing a species tank of Neolamprologus pulcher ''Daffodil''. I am wanting to also include plants but I am finding it hard to find plants sold commercially that can handle the higher pH requirements. What kind of plants have worked in everyone's tanks. I...

Thanks, I had a chance to look at some of the sites and the prices are not as bad as I thought they would be, except for the 30-50 shipping charge, but that is needed if one is wanting fish that can not be picked up locally. Because this is a new tank and has not fully cycled yet, Before I...

Thank you I will look around, I have some time before I am going to put fish in the tank and will be really looking after Thanksgiving, the other problem is my location, I live in a remote part of the state and not a lot of good fish stores in my area. So I am looking at aquabid and, if anyone...
