Has anyone tried BioPlankton from LiquidLife?

Really sorry to hear that, however a lot of people are saying that just because it's fat, doesn't mean it's not starving to death. Frozen foods just don't have the nutrition mandarins need. They need pods. Actually, a guy at a LFS once told me that if I wasn't going to feed it live pods, to...

Thanks everyone!!!

Thanks!! :D I have two 10gal. tanks. no fuge. *************************************** Edit 8AM Friday: Just in case anyone's wondering... I found a solution to my phosphate problem - literally overnight! Last night I went to the LFS to find kalkwasser but all I could find was Phos-guard, so I...

That happened to me too. I didn't risk it - threw it out and bought more. I like my fish too much to try.

Mine is the seahorse. They're so interesting and have great personalities.

I will, thanks.

Ya, actually, this is the post that made me buy the test - thanks to you. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?p=609955&highlight=#609955 I never would have known to test for it otherwise. RO/DI water from the LFS. Just did that test a few moments ago. There is a bit in there too. Is...

I did a 20% WC last night, and another 20% tonight. This is what I have for phosphates after both WCs! 8O I have had no fatalities in this tank for over a year, my fish are not breathing hard... yet... Every weekend I do a 20% WC. I don't know what my phosphates used to be, as I just...

IMHO, I'd do another 15-20 gallons today. Like Brenden said, it's not good to do it all at once, but it's been 24 hrs, and two-20 gallon changes over a 24hr period is better than a 40-gal all at once. It lessons the shock to the system. As far as the dead stuff on the LR, most people I...

I think this is probably the best advice anyone can get. Also, test kits will tell you right on them what is the proper level for what you're testing, and the hazards of too high or too low of levels. IMO, Figure out what are the important chemicals to test for and get a test kit for it. For...

Try another 10% water change. I always do a 20% WC.

Thanks. Did you see the others? There's more video of them on that site - just select "more video" to see them. There's one on there of the male violently attacking his reflection - kicking up sand and biting at the glass - then turns and goes gently courting his girlfriend. I think he's...
