when you change the water using a hose, it puts in water with the chlorine. How do you add the chlorine remover and add the salt to the water?

Ammonia doesn't grow. It's the waste by product from fish waste, food waste etc,,,

If the ph gets dropped by the buffers being used up during the change from ammonia to nitrite to nitrate.... What will stop this from happening while I have fish as this cycle will be constantly going on?

I have a 46g tank. I started a fishless cycle over a month ago. I have sand, rocks, fake plants, one java fern and one Anubis plant. I added 3/4 teaspoon of salt per 10 gallons... My tap and tank Ph is 8.1...... The ammonia went down and now my nitrites have been going down. My nitrates are off...

Wow, that is big

What are the dimensions. Do you have a pic?

Poking for a nice piece of driftwood for a centerpiece to my 46g bow front tank

I already have a filter, it's the Penguin bio-wheel 350. I bought black sand. Not sure of the brand, I'll post tonight.. The light is stock

I want some live plants, yes

Talvari... I had it for almost 2 years, it was fine and healthy when I had to give it away to a friend because I moved to another state. He had it for a while and said he gave it away when his girlfriend moved in to get different fish.

Had one years ago and loved it! I had it in a 10g tank. I didn't know anything about aquariums then and still don't. I just came across a 46g bow front setup as a trade for a guitar. I traded because the thought of getting another barracuda excited me. Everybody is saying the tank is too small...

He filter sits on the back of the tank. As it sits, it is not level and the tube I have that extends half way down the tank is about 2 inches off the back of the tank. QUESTION: Should I put some cardboard or something behind the filter where the bottom touches the outside of the tank, hence...

That's GREAT! Thanks

Have a 46g now front tank. I need the temp between 72-82deg. I have a Jäger 100w submersible heater. Will that be enough?

What do you mean by garlic? Starve them for 2 days and then feed them a clove of Garlic?
