Ok i put about 3/4 of what i was suppost to put in to kill the algae. Tetra agae fix. Then i did another about 40 percent water change so they wouldnt get an ammonia spike. Looked a little better. Not really thou. A day later i covered it it for about 3 days. I just uncovered it earlier today...

Thats cool, around here theres a spot i stop by every year, usually early summer and there are 100's of those orange belly salamanders. Kinda neat.:-D

I did pull the filters when i put the fungus guard in like a month ago. They were out of the tank for a few days. Resting ontop of the filters, so they kept damp. I have all new filters to put in as soon as i need to. I want to use the Dapnia idea, seems more practical. Im going to keep my...

Im going to try a different chemical. I read online that the algae destroyer i bought was not for green water, Go figure. Anywho if this dosent work im going to..(tell me if its a good idea) Set up a ten gallon, basicly just use the water from my 55 gallon and and let it sit a little while...

They either kept pulling them out or i didnt bury them deep enough to begin with. Cause they kept showing up at the top of my tank. O well i buried them better and they have stayed so far.

Echinodorus amazonicusi or amazon sword. I know they will eat them, im just curius on how they will look, and last. Kinda wanted to try something new. They have nibbled on the tips a little. But nothing major yet.

I can cut back on the feeding, I may also cover if for a few days then take the vaccuum and try to suck out the dead alge. The reason i dont want to cover it and the reason i leave the light on is because i just got some live plants, and im waiting for them to sprout.

Floyd R Turbo- They didnt test the ammonia, i asked them why and the guy said 9/10 times its noticable with morts, ir-regular behavior or atleast burn marks on the fish I can take a sample of tap water in the next time i go in. Ive just did about 4 water tests so far so i dont want to annoying...

Gah green water is back.... I think its the food i feed the fish... Back to square one again...

I was told once that Kuhli loaches will eat anything on the bottom of the tank....:bulb:

Yea i know, every time i do a water change it will throw it off again. So as long as its semi-OK, im going to leave it!

So i got around today added some fungus guard to the tank and pulled the filters. Then i went to town and had them do another PH test and they tested my nitrates and the nitrites or watever there called aswell. The PH tested slightly blue. A little high i guess, I asked and she said its...

I can see how it would be stressed with the whole green water. His 'friends' dieing, and the water changes. I have fungus guard but i dont want to add it just yet cause it says to remove the carbon out of the filters, and do a 10 or 20 percent water change. I dont want to remove the carbon...

So the tank is all better now. Hasnt shown any sign of getting dirty, murky, or green since i switched it a few days back. Im really happy! But i just noticed a white blotch on my silver dollars rear fin. Its nots ick, i know what ick looks like. My tank changes tempetures alot in one day...

I have a silver dollar about 3 inches. And i used to have 2 3inch long bala sharks. My brother offered to give me some convict cichlids. But i passed them up. They were about the size of a dime!

Ok, if i get a day off this week ill pick some up... I want to add a few more fish to the tank. Its really calming watching fish when your bed bound. :crazyeyes: So im thinking about getting a few more silver dollars, maybe a few sharks... i dont know for sure thou.

Yea im not sure what i had. Maybe the stomach flu. I really dont know... Im almost better today. I got the water change done. It looks even better then before, and the silver dollar seems happy. Pleco are being very active even thou its not dark yet? :-? Whats the difference between betta...

Im finally getting around to doing another 50% water change. ive had poison oak all over my arms. And then thursday till today ive been really sick. Man i sure hope this helps...

yea ill do one tomarow after work. I dont see any swolen glands or anything. Hes hyper now. Im trying to feed him lettace. no luck:-? i think after this whole alga thing is done and gone ill buy him a few buddys. maybe sharks again. I also want a ropefish but those are jumpers. so meh.

so i pulled the cover off. its much much cleaner. It still has a sorta green murk to it. The fish were really skitish when they seen light. The Pleco went around the tank at record breaking speeds. The silver dollar on the other hand dosent look to healthy. Hes just loafing around. I dont...

They had a master kit for sale at a pet store i went to last week that was going under. It was 24.99 with 30% off. I should of got it.:(

I can afford everything thats not a problem. I live in a smaller town that dosent have a pet store or anyplace to get this stuff at, and once i go out of town to a place that has it i always just dont think about it. I will by strips and what not the next time i go in. I just dont think a whole...

The PH down im using is the most common one by API. I did change my filters, but to begin with i used old filters, because i heard it is not good to start a tank with new filters. And ive been putting off buying new onces since ( dont know why ) Ok i lied i have a 30-60 gallon aqua tech filter...
