    BTA On way out?

    I've had my GBTA for the last 2 months, and all seemed fine till a week ago when I moved my power heads and changed the flow, it changed it's position a few times and over the last 24 hours has just been sitting on the sand in the corner. I've placed it on the rock about 4 times now and its not...

    Yes I think your right, I've just set up my qt tank, it's actual water volume is 50 litres, I've got a heater in there set to 75F, sg is 1.024, I've got a new fluval internal filter in there but have used filter media from my existing cannister, got an air stone going and a koralia nano pump...

    Sick clown

    I've done my reading on ich, but I'm not too sure it is, it doesn't seem to be that visible when the main lights are on but can only really be seen when the actinics are on, I would of thought that WS would be more prominent than it is? Could it be anything else? Brooklynella?. My other fish...

    Just found the sticky with the q's to answer. 1. How long have you had the fish? Do you know if it was wild caught, or tank raised? 1week, wild caught I suspect 2. How long has the fish been in the tank? What are the tank mates? Any aggression? Yellow tang, six line, purple dart, yellow...

    Sick clown

    Would just like to know what I'm dealing with? Brook? White spot? And how to treat, I can set up a QT fairly sharpish, but from what I've read id need to treat all my fish as it's pointless treating just the one? Don't really fancy trying to catch a six line, purple dart (stays in a hole) etc...

    Garlic guard out of date?

    went to an LFS today, and for the first time saw a garlic extract product, garlic guard by sea chem, was the last bottle so I thought I'd snatch it up as I never see any anywhere! Got to the till, was about to enter my pin and looked at what I think is the expiration date, not sure tho, (see...

    Unbelievable algae growth! Please help

    GFO? I'm guessing your talking bout the rowaphos? It's in a filter media sock tightly compact in the cannister? As per the instructions. Is this wrong?

    Unbelievable algae growth! Please help

    That's what I thought, but was wondering what the point of me running my cannister was if I take out the ceramic rings (that's all that's in it other than rowaphos)?

    Unbelievable algae growth! Please help

    The link loads when I don't use my ipad2 :p. I'm not to up on the algae types, it's definitely green, and it's only on the glass of the aquarium, the rocks are clear! I used a scraper on the back wall of my tank the other day which had untouched growth on it from day 1, I'm wondering if that...

    Unbelievable algae growth! Please help

    Unfortunately I'll have to stick with the cannister, I have no room for a sump (and worried about the weight as it's on an upper floor) is there any other media I could run in it instead of ceramic rings? Is the cannister actually achieving anything as I have taken the sponges out and have LR...

    Unbelievable algae growth! Please help

    Silly me, forgot to mention I use RO water from my LFS. I've taken my sponges out my canister hoping this will stop the nitrates. Will I have any negative side effects without them? As I said I got 10 kg LR and a 3" DSB and still got plenty carbon, ceramic rings and rowaphos in the canister, is...
