Thanks guys for your input. I really appreciate it! I'll see what I can do - our fish store is somewhat limited so it takes some time to get in any requests-lol.

Anyone have any ideas on making this aquascape look better? I have been using Co2 and my plants have really taken off. I have been pruning to keep up appearance but think it could definitely look better :o Thanks

Texas Holey Rock leaches calcium carbonate into the water as it's a type of calcified limestone. My water hardness is (gH) medium and I have kept my kH at 4-5. Tap water is consistantly 3. I use small amounts of baking soda after some water changes to keep it at 4-5. The rock will supposedly...

Hello, I have an established 40 gal planted tank. I use CO2 (tank) with a diffuser and dose regularly. I will be using Eco complete in this tank in the near future. I have a beautlful Texas holy rock that I would like to place in this tank. This rock does have natual buffering properties. If...

I love Black ghosts. Will that size pipe be big enough for now? I know that they get big pretty fast. You gotta do something about the spider! :-O

wow, some really beautiful fish. I wish you had posted identifications for some of them as I would like to read about them. Just gorgeous!

hmm, what an original idea and better yet, it's relatively simple to do. Can't wait to see the finished result. What type of fish/loaches are you building this for? And my go(d), how big is that spider!? Does he drag people away or just eat them whole right at the window?

Hi. I'm new to the area and looking for a Freshwater Aquarium Club. Does anyone know of one in this area?

Thank-you and yes it helps. As soon as I noticed that there was flashing I turned up the heat and plugged in the UV. Yesterday I noticed my angle's back fins were a bit ragged. I felt I had better use meds just in case. I will turn off the UV for now and try to treat for the Angel's issue...

:lol: That's hilarious.....and I am sooo jealous, by the way

thank-you for your quick reply. I have done as directed to apply. Also I just read the sticky regarding regional forums. I will continue to post my questions on the general forum sections as instructed, but yes I wanted to find an Aquarium Club specific to my area. Thank you once again for...

Hello. I am located in Sarasota Florida and cannot find a local Aquarium Club. I wanted to post a question in the Regional Forum -Central Florida --to find out if anyone had any advice for this area. I received an error message and could not post. As Follows: "Sorry, but only users granted...

I purchased a few fish last week and one died the next day. Today it seems that a few of my fish just aren't quite right. I have purchased Maracyn and Maracyn Two to use in the tank. My question is: Can I use the UV Sterilizer while medicating the tank? All water parameters are great. Tested...

I agree with Purrbox. Increasing Water flow is important, especially with this type-also it will help in increasing the O2 level. Also PO4 (phosphate) plays a large part in it's return. I would do a good cleaning on your tank and in your filter, then place a Phosabsorb in your filter for...

I'd say B. D if you are going to balance it with a tall plant in the left back corner. No matter what you choose it already looks great!

It looks a little like a water mite. From the pic it's hard to tell. Does it have legs (spider like)? If not, here is a pic of a leech (with sucker you mentioned) and it looks very familiar..lol

Thank-you...You're right I will probably won't ever know for sure. I hope that the other angels will be fine. Has anyone ever lost one of a pair? Was there a difference in how the remaining one acted? (and it's not just me as my family has noticed the difference in the males temperment right...

thank-you for your kindness.

I was lucky. I purchased 3 Angels and 2 ended up pairing off. They have spawned 3 times-last time was 3 days ago. The eggs are gone as usual but I'm not set up to raise the fry. Last night all the angels seemed fine. Swimming well. Eating fine. Begging for more as usual. Racing to the...

Ok gotcha...I was using PMDD dry mix I purchased online. There is Potassium in this as of course you know. So I will continue to monitor my tanks uptake of the above mentioned nutrients. I believe I need to buy the ferts seperately so that at some point I can try the EI method. Thanks for your...

Well I tested all tank parameters this morning. Phosphate is still at 2. Nitrates are still 20. CO2 is still 30. Ammonia and Nitrite remain at 0. I don't understand why phosphate and nitrate have not gone down as I haven't dosed for aprox 4 days now. Could it be that my plants are just not...

Since moving to Florida I haven't found a fish store yet willing to take my fish. Not true in the town I lived in Arizona- I must have given my LFS over 250 mollies and guppies...but they had a special tank to place them in. Most stores don't have a QT and are hesitant to place "strange" fish...

lol.....normally she lays in neat nice rows. I don't know what it was about today but they were in an absolute frenzy when they felt the jungle val failed them.....In her defense (lol) she is usually much neater! ;-)
