    Cleaning Bio media in canister filters

    I've had a canister on my cichlid tank for about 2 years now. I've just got two more for my other tanks - I like the idea of bio in the canisters with cleaning every 3 months, and a HOB with sponge/pads/floss that I rinse weekly with my PWC. Anyway, I'm wondering if just rinsing my bio media...

    Wife's idea of too many tanks

    I'm sitting here in my office/fishroom, minding my own business and the wife walks in and says "you know, you're overdoing it - five tanks is way too many". I didn't bother to interrupt her to say there are *two* 10 gallon tanks, so its really six tanks. She thinks the two 55 gallon show tanks...

    Fish Dying after PWC

    Seachem Safe as good as Prime?

    I've been using Seachem Prime for over a year now, and am very happy with it. I'm thinking of trying Seachem Safe when I run out. Has anyone used Safe and have any comments on it?

    Sick or injured mbuna?

    I just noticed one of albino socolofi has what looks like scabs on his face. Another is a little sore around his mouth. Could this be aggression or is it some disease? I change at least 50% PWC weekly, and will do in the morning. My parameters are temp 80F Amm 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 40 The...

    NLS Pellet size for Mbuna

    I've been feeding my Mbuna (yellow labs & P. socolofi) with Ken's Cichlid & Spirulina flake food, and they love it. Since it's time to reorder, I want to try NLS pellets. They are 3-4" long, almost 2 years old. What size pellets would be best? Should I go with cichlid formula or Thera-A?
