yeah if you don't laugh..... the intake was above an airstone....... DUH :oops:

wow! Ok I will take this step by step. I asked many ppl about the reason for not mixing tropical fish with non-tropicals. The only response was that the tropicals need warmer water temperature. Koi and goldfish also love warm water so that didn't seem like a big deal to me. If you go to...

Day Two: All seems peaceful. The red-tail sharks chase each other when two are out which is rare. The koi seems to be attracted to stress in the tank and moves to the center of it where it then dissipates. ....not easy to be mad at an opponent you cannot see for the fat belly of a friendly koi...

I just checked the ingredients in fish food...tetrafin for goldfish and tetracolor for tropicals and really cannot find any differences. Could it be in the additives?

Well, I am totally new at aquariums and never knew about why one doesnt mix tropicals with goldfish aside from water temperature. I feed goldfish flakes, tubifex worms, and shrimp pellets (which everybody loves). I feed the shrimp pellets to the koi in the quarantine tank because the ingredients...

I just added two red-tailed sharks to a 50 gal tank of very peaceful types that include: a group of gold barbs, a few peaceful albino tiger barbs, 4 very shy gouramis, two slow but friendly red-capped orandas, and a koi (just visiting prior to moving on to outdoor pond). These sharks are very...

I have inherited two convicts. I put them in my office. I put in a chunk of that hard food you leave in ponds for the week-end. It kind of melts in time. I didn't have the heart to leave them without food. Is this what I should have done?

How does it give birth? What should I watch for? It looks so fat it might burst :)

I'd be interested also :) I like Mr. Igarishi's koi from koiauction.

I kept everything :) I think you are right....initial set up is tricky and probably I need to go through it again in some time when I am relaxed and don't have a million other things to do also :) I won't give up and will conquer this even if I have to take the thing to my aquarium store for...

I am trying very hard to smile as I write this...... My magnum is a 350. I did a lot of reasearch on this thing before purchasing it and today...I truly regret this purchase... I opened the canister lid only to find carbon floating freely. Turning the canister lid over I found that it had sucked...

Sigh :( Last lionhead is not doing well. Looks like he isn't going to make it. I checked my water and the only problem is a spike in alkalinity. Another odd thing is a "sudden" algae growth on things. Looks like I don't have my magnum filter seated right either. This is going to be a learning...

Its been bubbling now for days. How do you reseal the lid? and thanks :)

Thank you ! :)

Hi I just got my new magnum and set it up. I followed the instructions perfectly including those ##@! little rubber bands. I attempted to get the water out of the canister as instructed.....turn system off...let water run into cannister...turn back on. But there are still quite a few bubbles...

Oops :oops: please excuse! I posted my solution to aeration not the trickle tower site lol!

I did my entire pond asp backwards. Because it is so big, taking advice from internet pros has not been completely possible because of the cost. The pond is shaped like a horse shoe. One leg is a veggie and submerged biofilter. The other leg was supposed to also be filtration but hasn't been...

Ok I did some work on the plastic cover and widened the openings. I removed the smallest of the filters and added the magnum with the two remaining. This lionhead is still giving me fits. Last night I thought for sure it was going to die. It hung mid water head down doing a helicopter number...

Its a great idea but the magnum is canister and the others are hang ons. I'm still pondering on the idea of seeding it tho as it really sounds good! I believe that the aquarium is done with its cycling as the water is now perfectly clear and levels have calmed down to normal. LOL I have koi...

thank you :) well update is that in my opinion...if a fish seems scared and hiding and isnt hiding because thats what that kind of fish does, it could scare itself to death. Thats what has happened (I think) with all but the last lionhead. The tank has been cycling now for three weeks but to be...
