Any suggestions for dealing with it? Apparently it's in the pipes of the place I just moved into. As I pulled the pipe coming off the pump out of the well yesterday and it was crystal clear, and didn't smell. Out of the faucets I get a very faint rust smell and the water is cloudy. I don't want...

So I'm moving at the end of the week, and I've looked all over the web for answers to this but is bagging really the best way to move fish? I've picked up a 30gallon tote, and a handful of 80oz leftover containers. The plan was to put a betta in 2 of them and a gourami in another and the red...

So I recently moved my pair of ( I know they need a bigger group, and that is the plan but they started out in a 5gal and I'm loathe to add more with a move coming up at the end of the month.) peppered cories from a planted tank with regular tan colored sand for substrate to a planted tank with...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping I'm posting this in the right area. I finally got around to fully testing my water earlier today. (I know I'm bad) I've just been using water conditioner and a faucet filter, combined with letting it sit for a few days airing out. But, I found out my water is pretty much...

Evening, Been lurking for a bit now, thought I would say hi. Had a few tanks over the years they've just never lasted long. Fast forward 13 years since my last tank and my wife has a new job teaching that took us from FL to the mountains of WV. Needless to say... I'm bored out of my skull...
