what kind of benefits if any does this that have. i do a pwc once a week and am going to start adding to lake salt to the tank and i know that thats the pcw do more good than anything but thought i might give this stuff a try. here is a link its the one on the bottom. Kent Marine Freshwater...

looks fine on ff.

would also like to add that from everything i read if you are just starting at this like myself. its best to chose fish that match your water parameters 1st. and then worry about things like mixing reverse osmosis with tap water(not using chemicals like i said before) later on when you gt more...

yeah the Bala Sharks do like softer water with a lower ph. from what i just goggled. you could do cichlids they would love that water! you could try adding drift wood also but that only lowers it a small amount. or mixing reverse osmosis with tap water which can get pricey and requires some...

what kind of fish do want to put in there? the ph is normally not a huge deal also it seems like your tank has cycled which is good.

i am new i have made a few post here and there. right now i am helping my girl friend set up 40 gallon cichlid tank. after she gets up and going good im going to set a 30 gallon tank with either some small cichlids or some angel fish. i had tank when i kid that loved but the filter went out...

when you say off the chart are you using test strips? because i was using them the alkalinity was always off the chart and the test strip seemed a little high when reading ph also. if you can get an api master kit that will let you know what your dealing with better and depending on the fish...

i could see spending 100 bucks tops on a fish. 80g? what the heck!! if that fish is that special it should not be sold. imo

very helpful link.

these all sound like good ideas i used rinsed them shook out some of the water then let them air dry. i would be worried that paper towel might leave some paper behind and that might affect the ph reading or something.

that stuff does leave a nasty oily film on glass and it might eat away at a acrylic seems like i saw some used on Plexiglas glass once did not end well as recall. goo-gone would be that last resort.imo

i am still very new at this also but what is the temp of you water? are you using a heater? you may not of got by with out a heater in the 10 gallon but not the 40 do to the larger surface area.

when i was a little kid it seemed like i was sick all time. so i was at the doctor a lot where he had fairly larg fish tank with an angle fish and scuba diver holding a treasurer chest and some other fish i cant remember. and i always wanted one and when i was about 10 or 11 i got one i had...

a 30 is 6 inches longer but the same width which was the issue.

after looking it it up i think i can a full 30 gallon in the spot where the 20 was. :cool:

that's what i have been thinking of doing. i would just have to buy a new a hood.

i was thinking of mixing electric blue and yellows and Zebras after visiting that site.but still not sure

where are some good places to get fish in fort worth. i have only found one that i liked so far every one else was kind of rude.

in the process now.

i know right i read about dying not to long ago and that way messed up. i also read about people crossing mollies and guppy's and how that made all kinds of deformities. i had no idea this fish was deformed until i researched a little more so i dont what we going to get we still a week or 2 make...

i thought about this a while back but thats a lot of research.lol ( was looking for a short cut) started to compose a table of the different ones that would work size wise also i dont know about mixing carnivores and omnivores ect. kind of would like a blood parrots and 4 angle fish. but some...

thank you but i am not sure of all the different names.lol i looked at this site but it dose not seem to go into a lot of depth.
