Hi, I just built a DIY CO2 system that is working very nicely. I used the setup reccomened by some of the other forum members entitled, "A Treatise on DIY CO2 Systems for Freshwater-Planted Aquaria." This may sound like a very dumb question... but here goes: I have 2, 2-liter bottle yeast...

Hi Everyone, A few weeks ago I posted a topic about a sick goldfish. I found trapped under the internal filter, helped him out and his dorsal fin was partially shredded. Not surprisingly, he developed a white, cotton-like growth on the affected fin (probably fungus). I treated him with...

Hi Everyone, I'm petsitting my sister's goldfish and I (stupidly) neglected water changes in the 2.5 gallon aquarium for 2 weeks. So I'm suspecting the water was dirty and full of bacteria. Yesterday, I discover that her goldfish was stuck underneath the filter and I moved him away from it...

Hi Everyone, I've been looking into DIY CO2 systems with the help of some people in this forum. I was referred to this article on a CO2 system: http://www.qsl.net/w2wdx/aquaria/diyco2.html#3 I did purchase "Fourmost Products" 3/32 Medium Bulkhead Fittings from Towerhobbies.com so I could...

I'm using CO2 Liquid Nutrient Plant Supplement 3pk (O.S.I.) from thatpetplace that has made the pH drop to 7.0 and raise CO2 levels to 20ppm, for about a week now. This has done wonders for my BBA problem... now it's much less prevalent. However, I noticed that my phosphates were well over...

I know this post may sound a bit repetitive (I apologize), but I was wondering if I could get some advice helping plants after the bleach dip. In sum, I transplanted my plants from a 10 gallon- low light tank to a 26 gallon tank lit by a 96W CF bulb. This has been way more trouble than I...

Hi, I previously posted on this forum under the topic "Algae Overrun." When I placed my Amazon Sword, Crypts, and Elodea in my 26 gal. tank, immediately black brush algae began to grow on the leaves of the plants. The new tank is lit by a 96W, 6700K compact fluorsecent light for 6/hrs a day...

I previously posted in this forum a few days ago about transplanting my plants to a new 26-gallon tank outfitted with a 96W CF light and having massive BBA problems. I took the advice in the forum and purchased a CO2 system, Fluorish, and Flourish Excel. Since then, I have had no signs of BBA...

Hello, I am a new member to this forum. I have this major problem with algae in my newly set up tank. The algae problem started when I moved my plants from an established 10-gallon tank to a new 26-gallon tank. Although I only cycled the new tank with goldfish for 3 weeks, I believed it was...

Hi Everyone, I have an established 10 gal. aquarium with floating hornwort, an Amazon Sword, and another rosette plant. While they have been doing fine (except yellowing-corrected with an iron test kit; I was overdosing on the iron). I'm planning on upgrading my tank to a 26 gallon one and...
