15 minutes in the bag, 5 minutes with a little tank water, 5 minutes with a little more water.

I've had a 10 gallon running for four months. Stock is 2 guppies, 2 glo light tetras and 3 ablino cory cats. Was starting to get some algae and decided to buy a small bushy nose pleco to help clean up the algae and later move him to a larger tank. Within the first two hours he was dead. My...

Removed the air stones not long after the post, pointed the canister outlet up for more agitation, everything working great and the fish seem happier without the extra turbulence.

That is it! When I googled it, the video of that hardscape came up, they didn't have the fish listed in the picture info but the youtube video did. Appreciate your help.

I've had Bala Sharks off and on. I really like them, although I worry about the time I'd have to give them up when they are too big for the tank, I've never had to, they seem to be very slow growing.

Looking through these hardscapes from Aquarium Design Group and came across this picture, was wondering what kind of fish this is. Started hunting around but figured someone on the forum would know. Aquarium Design Group custom aquarium design installation and service in Houston Texas Thanks.

I've always used airstones in my tanks way back before I even knew there was a benefit to using them, they were always a decoration I enjoyed having. Now that I'm trying to move towards more natural looking tanks I'm starting to dislike the looks of the bubbles. I currently have a 75 gallon...

I have a C360 and an Emperor 400 on a 75 gallon and together they are great, I cannot get over how clear my water is compared to when I had an aquarium years ago. I took all the advice I read about over filtering, put up the additional cost and haven't looked back. I would add the Emperor 400...

Have a couple bala's in a hospital tank for a week now. Started with Melafix and Pimafix, didn't seem to do much good and switched over to Erythromycin, following the instructions, they have now have had 5 doses. They certainly appear to be improving, the red streaks in the fins are now...

Hello, I'm coming up on the first major maintenance of my 75 gallon freshwater tank and was curious about filter media and what recommendations you might have over the long term use. I'm running a Marineland Emperor 400 with the cartridges that came with it. In addition a Marinland C360...

Thanks for all the info. I got the salt to .1 and have had the temperature up to 82 for about 5 days now. The infected fish have cleared up and look really good now, no new fish appear to have been infected. I've been hesitant to do any water changes because I started Tetra SafeStart about 3...

Thanks for the info, I'll make those adjustments now.

About four days ago I noticed a couple of my Buenos Airies and Columbian Tetras were showing some ich. Wanted to try the heat and salt method. Seemed to be a lot of variables on the dosage so I went with the following for my 75 gallon tank, Day 1 (late night) - 1 teaspoon every 10 gallons Day...

First Nitrate Readings Day 6 after I added Tetra SS, .5 Ammonia, 0 Nitrites, and first Nitrate reading of 10ppm. As for the ich, I pushed the temp up to 80 (fish seem happier at that temp?), was a little nervous to push it higher, and added doses of salt over three days. The fish infected are...

I did not transfer any fish from the 10 gallon, didn't want to put any of those fish through a second cycle. I decided to give Tetra SafeStart a try. Put it in on Monday, highest ammonia level was.5, appears to have a bacteria bloom today, water a little cloudy. Ammonia between 0 and .25, 0...
