I have way too many and want them gone. Anybody have any ideas? I did get an assassin snail the other day but he hasn’t moved in 48 hrs. Some of you may like them but I think they are unsightly. Manual removal is next to impossible. I tried using a large lettuce in both of my tanks...

Okay, just so I’m getting my math right, I am dosing the QT but I also want to dose the 170 g tank with salt. The label says TBSP but everything I read online days TSP. So using 2tsp/ gal equals 340 tsp which equals 7 cups?? That seems a bit much... I am having so many issues with sand...

Hubby couldn’t get melafix (out of stock) and the Kordon product is not available to us Canucks so salt and WC it is

LFS have stuff called Melafix. Is this methyl blue? I’m way north of Edmonton Alberta so LFS are limited to Petsmart or Petland. Both carry this melafix.

Stores are open today �� I see that methyl blue comes with differing %’s. Is the recommended one 23%? Recommended dosage 1 tsp per gallon? I don’t think the stores carry the methyl blue so hubby can still get me the salt. Fishy is still well but lonely... I think he misses his...

Water changes I can do. The methyl blue, unfortunately, will have to wait a few days seeing that it is New Year’s Eve ?

Moved to my 35 gal

It’s betweenn his dorsal and tail fin and it looks like his guts are falling out. He may look horrible but he’s behaving normally. I know I need to treat the water but with what? It’s the only guppy that I have noticed thus far (but I’m checking them about every 5 minutes anyway) 170 gal with...

A clown pleco did a pretty good job with my tank.

Hey All! I was late starting my tank due to needing help from some people who weren’t always around to help. I had my lights and everything all hooked up and ready to go but when we tried putting the back ground on, the lights disconnected....grrrr Hubby finally got around to making me one lid...

I've seen some nice plants but they all in come in variations. My son finally showed up with some muscle so we could shim this tank level. Hubby will be buying a shopvac tomorrow so I can start scrubbing the inside. Then dumping 130 lbs of sand in and start the filling process. I have my ladder...

I bought the Hydor Pro 600 for my 200g tank. With this cannister, I don't need the holes. Any ideas on how to plug these holes? While I'm at it, should I hang the input within the glass box? or in the main tank itself? The top inch of the glass box has on overflow allowing water to get in (thus...

I think I need a ladder... There was a litlle bit of crushed coral leftover that I was trying to sweep into the one corner. There are 2 braces that I was fighting with as well. I’m 5’5 standing on the chair and still too short ?. For a used tank, it is a fairly clean tank. I bought Aqueon Opti...

The supplies I would be looking at are sand, cannisters and/or any chemicals I might need. I am so not ready to plunk anything in there right now. I think I would probably wait at least 2-3 wks before even putting plants in there. I do have a big piece of wood that I just need to re-soak. First...

Update It looks like I just bought myself a custom 200g tank and stand for $450 cdn. The 90g at the store cost $500 without the stand. Oh the possibilities...I am so excited! I will be making a stop at Big Al's in Edmonton while we are down there and picking up a few supplies. :thumb: :fish1:

I am contemplating either a 75g or a 90. It will be a freshwater community tank. The last time I had a live plant, it overtook my tank. So, unless someone can suggest a slow growing plant(s), it will be unplanted. I have however decided on using sand substrate instead of gravel. I would prefer a...

BTW, what's a tds meter?

I have hard water issues as well. I can't seem to get a proper read on pH for some weird reason. I test using low range and it tests high. I test using high range and it tests low. Which is weird cuz 6 mos ago, it was reading @7.2. I'm only doing 20-30% weekly water changes. This might have...

I've had my tank for a number of years now. It's either a 30G or 35G (depending on which site I used :lol:) It's 30"L X 12"D X 23"H 2 Topfin 40 HOB (1 old, 1 new) I have 7 Black skirts and 4 Peppered Cories. At least I thought I had 4. I was sitting at my desk one day when something caught my...
