anyone know of a disease that can affect just Cherry Barbs? Sit at bottom of tank, get a little bloaty then die. (Not ich at all) All other fish are fine. Barbs are dropping. Water tested - perfect. (I had a whole thing typed out and this forum made be have to log back in and I lost it...

Hey there - I'm worried about the temp in my fish tanks the next couple of days. I may be over reacting BUT I'm not sure. So.... our air conditioning went out today. It'll be Tuesday before it gets replaced. It'll be 90 this weekend here (of course, the hottest weekend of the year and ...

On November 3rd, I lost my Pearl Gourami. Now my Angel Fish is dying. I had them since July of 2011. I got her and my Angel Fish at the same time from the same place that was going out of business. Though I will admit that they were both full grown when I got them, I had hoped to get more than a...

Thank you... I think I'll give it a shot.

Hi there. I'd like to move my 6 inch long, probably 2 year old sailfin pleco from my 36 gallon tank to my 72 gallon tank. In that tank I have 5 bosemanis and 5 penguin fish. It is one year established. I use a fluval FX5 and the tank is significantly understocked. I know that plecos are...

Hi~ I have 5 juvenile Bosemani Rainbow fish. They're about 1.5 inches each - maybe just a little bigger. So they're pretty young. Can someone please tell me that they settle down a little when they get older? Or are they always crazy? They don't seem aggresive at all, but they're just crazy...

The ro/di water: can I use it right from the barrel I store it in via pitcher to my tanks? I'm supplementing with Kent. Or do I have to do anything else?

LOVE my FX5. I have one on my 72 gallon tank. Recently just discovered that you can adjust the valve output so it doesn't toss the fishes around. Completely silent. Not even a splash or a wuuuurrrr... However - anything smaller and I would have gotten a different filter. I have the G3...

Well I didn't find anyone who had experience on here with this issue SO I was able to dig around quite a bit more on the Interweb and found some information. If anyone else is ever looking, I found my own answer. http://www.stoneteknh.com/fx5/ Yes you can adjust the aquastop valves on...

So I LOVE my Fluval FX5, but I have recently gotten some new smaller fishes that have now been added to the tank. If they swim to the right hand side, they stay very low or very high in the tank - there is a lot of power/water coming out of that FX5. Then I also even noticed previous to...

yeah - I'm just looking for a supplement. It's pretty much *naked* water after RO.

What is the best (or a suggested) supplement to use for RODI water? Thanks! Janelle

Thank you! What do you guys do with your waste water? I feel pretty bad... well... wasting it. Any interesting ideas?

150 GPD Water Saving Upgrade Kit - English You mean I'd need the above (link)? And probably at least a 2:1 waste water container. Yikes... LOL.

Hey ya'll - We have it all hooked up. We're dumping the watse water in to a cooler right now, the fresh water in to a bin. We're at about 65 psi. The waste water is filling close to 3:1 - maybe 4:1?? (we're not sure as we let it run down the floor drain at first but then figured we could...
