I recently bought a 47 gal tall tank for my room and I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good & quiet CO2 diffuser. I use a reactor 1000 for my 90 gal tank, but I think that will be too noisy for my bedroom. I would like a diffuser that I could hook up to a power head/ canister filter...

My Royal pleco has got a bad case of fungus on his body. I think he burnt himself with the heater or something a while back. I was wondering what would be the best course of threatment for him. Currently I am planing to move him into a 20 gal quarintine tank and treat with some type of...

I am not sure, but I just started adding RO water yesterday (after my original post).

Yeah I plan on monitoring my water param closley, and I already do 20% water changes once or twice a week. I also will probably get another aquarium to move out some of the fish, probably just the angels and a pleco though since the loaches will be impossible to catch. My Angels will prob be...

Thanks for the input guys. When I got home today all the fish were breathing normally. I set it up now that I have my air pump run about 6 hours of night (2 hours after lights out and back off just before lights on). This should solve the issue... plus I dont have to see the ugly airstone...

I am at work so I dont know for sure if it has helped, But I am sure they will be fine now with the airpump + plants. And yes many of the fish were gasping at the surface, mainly the Angels and the Khulis who were resting on the plants near the surface. My other loaches were just breathing...

Hi all, This morning when I went to feed my fish I saw they were all breathing heavily (I immediately put a air pump in the tank to help the guys breath). This is the first time I have seen them this low on oxygen, and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what may be the source of...

Thats a good Idea devil. I have a spare HOT magnum that I will try that out with.

If you still continue having problems with green water try using a diatom filter. I have a Vortex XL Diatom Filter that I use every couple months to make my 90 gallon tank crystal clear. Its so powerful it will remove the algae from the water. It ussually only take 2 hours to make your tank...

Thanks for the advice. I am kind of worried about trying to handle and cut the fishs fins. Is it ok to cut off their small fin 'bones'? I dont know who bit that Angel, possible one of the two other big angels but they rarley bother each other. He was the biggest one probably around 2.5"...

There is no fuzzy growth, and the damage is not from fish bites since it is spreading, and he is all by himself. He has broken areas of fins and some places especially on the dorsal fin all thats left are the fin bones. there is a white edge between the good and bad parts. The new fish...

My fully grown Angel has developed a bad case of fin rot after introducing some new fish. I have moved him into a quarentine tank and am treating him with melafix with no success. The dorsal fin is 1/2 gone with and now the dorsal and pectoral fins have started to become clear and apears to be...

How big is your tank? I would not recomend neons for cycling the tank, they are pretty sensitive to crappy water conditions. (I would actually recomend the fishless cycling method). Anyways, Im not sure how you change you replace your water, but I suggest 1st pouring the water in a 5 gal...

I have a Parkinson's Rainbowfish that has 2 cloudy eyes, I think he may be getting cataracts. :puppydogeyes: Im not sure but I dont think it is disease since he first had it in one eye and then about 6 months later his other eye got whitish. But I have a feeling it may be from fighting with...

I just got a ghost knifefish this weekend. He doesnt comeout much and justs hangs out with my clown loaches inside a large castle. Only problem I see is that they tend to eat small fish i.e. your cardinal tetras.
