    My 7.5 Gallon FOWLR tank

    Last time I tested (Yesterday) the nitrates (API Test Kit) were not yellow/0 but the were not orange/ 5, it was closer to 0ppm than 5ppm. I know some people who have reef tanks with constant 20ppm nitrates, and everything is healthy. Idk how their corals are healthy.

    My 7.5 Gallon FOWLR tank

    Yeah, I really like the dragons breathe macro but are there any other good/easier options besides cheato because it floats? In the past week the hair algae hasn’t grown just it stayed the same length.

    Dead Fish, Cloudy Water, It smells like Asparagus!

I just did a %30 water change an...

    Dead Fish, Cloudy Water, It smells like Asparagus!

    I put in an airstone because I heard that it helps clear bacteria blooms, it has helped quite a bit and the scent died down, the snail has been moving around a lot more now! I think it will be alright! Thank you for your help, I am just going to let the tank cycle it out for a while

    Dead Fish, Cloudy Water, It smells like Asparagus!

    I also have a 90 GPH power head, it is a really good pump, it gets detritus moving so I doesn’t get stuck a lot. My tank has done great until just this morning.

    Dead Fish, Cloudy Water, It smells like Asparagus!

    My ammonia and nitrite have never shown up before, but only this morning, and in small numbers, I do a 15-20% water change weekly. So should I wait another 2 weeks or month before I add another organism. I did a water change this morning after The fish died.

    Does my Condy Anemone look right?

    So I picked up a Purple Condy anemone yesterday and it was/is small. It gas attached itself to the rock. (i think) I put it in a hole in the rock that fits it's whole foot in it. And for the last few hours it slowly deflates and inflates. It wasn't really sticky when I touched it, but I tried my...

    Is this ick?

    I am pretty sure it is not ick. I treated it for days - weeks and none of my other fish have it. It is too big to be ick and it happen within 5 minutes. Is it fungus? Parasite? Bacteria? The pleco is very healthy and active. In fact it is the first time I have ever seen him eat! He is a Clown...

    Black Ghost Knife fish acts dead at the exact moment when lights come on!

    So I replaced the ghost tube with a BIG log that provides more darkness, he has come out a TON more and is eating out of my hands. He mainly eats bloom worms but sometimes eats flakes. The bump on his mouth is completely gone. He swims vertical most of the time now which I read is their normal...

    He is still a little shy, he will pop his head out of his tube a lot though.
