Not really but I know we've had the blinds open a lot lately and have forgotten to shut off the tank light a few times, so now the light is off and the room is dark! Should I replace the filters one at a time? Because when I rinsed out the sponge it made the water turn green, same as the carbon...

Thank you!

So my tank stayed clean for a day an a half... Now it's green but I don't see any visible algae... My tanks a 26g tall And has been set up since December ... I've kept my light off ... How do I get rid of this crap before it harms my fish? Or puts my tank at risk of another cycle

Had a problem with my tank getting cloudy first thought it was over feeding, cut back on that and still cloudy, finally I looked in the filter I have an aqua clear with the 3 filters and the sponge and carbon had green algae on it...cleaned them in a bowl of fish water and wala the tank is clean...

100 gal tank for one fish?!?! How big is he gonna get?

How big of a tank would it need? And wow that's a big difference on feeding, you sure my fatties won't turn over if I cut their diet? ;)

If anything on the nitrates it'd be 0- 5 the tube is always a yellow to orange but more yellow. And as far as I know nothing else has gotten into the tank, but I have a 4 yr old so I can't promise anything...

Yes it's an aqua clear filter system I feed them in the morning and in the afternoon. When I sweep the gravel I don't get to much food particles up. Between the goldfish and pleco they clean up the floor constantly. Should I go down to once a day? They eat like they're starved when I do feed them.

I'm using the API master test kit and the fish have gotten along just fine, I won the goldfish at the fair, the pleco idk at the pet store I asked for an algae eater and that's what I got. My filter has 3 filters, a sponge, carbon, and rocks...the cloudiness started before I changed the...

M getting a white cloudy haze to my water, week 2...I did a 30-40% change last weekend and it stayed pretty good til yesterday, I just did another 30-40% change and hoping it'll solve it, I thought it may have been over feeding since I've started to let my 4 yr old help me feed the fish, but I...

It's the weirdest thing, it's not always there...When I woke up and fed him this morning he had it and it was dark, now looking at him in the tank it's gone.

My Ammonia is 0 and has been for weeks. I test it every few days.

My Silver Dollar has a black spot on both sides of body in the same spot. It almost looks like it indents a little bit...weird part is it's not always there, some times it fades and other times is dark...I've tried to take a picture and he won't stay still (camera shy) ;) I looked it up and it...

Quit not quick lol I was using an aquan and now a marine

I don't have access to anything like that, I forgot to add my old filter quick working and I had to get a new one, nothing was spiking Til I started this new filter...could that have caused a stall or a boost?

I did a 60%water change, levels are now ammonia 4.0 nitrites 1.0 nitrates 20 ppm pH is still 7.5

Ammonia was lowering every day, now they are at 4-8 ppm and Nitrites are at the max, and Nitrates are at 20 ppm The Nitrates just showed up today, and there was just little Nitrites yesterday.

I have been cycling my tank for some time now (lost track of the weeks) but it s somewhere around 8 weeks, I have ammonia and Nitrites at their max and now the Nitrates are at 20 ppm... Do I do my large water change now? or wait til the ammonia and Nitrites are at 0? I am using the API Master...

Yes I have the API test kit, and my ammonia levels have lowered like this since day one after the big water change, if I don't add it to the tank everyday I wouldn't have any. And as far as nitrates go I did have them, then I took the fish out and did a huge water change. I had fish in the...

Thank you!

Right before I did my big water change I had nitrates at their max, I haven't had anything show up by ammonia and it'd be gone if I weren't adding it everyday...

I had fish in my tank for a lil over a month and then realized I hadn't properly cycled it, after losing over half of them and finding homes for the others I did a complete water change and started a fishless cycle...here's the thing...it's been 5 weeks and all I have is ammonia, nothing else...

Patience... Not sure if I like that lol but alrighty, so far it's steady at ammonia 4 nitrites .25 and nitrates 0, my pH is still between 7.4-7.6... Is the ammonia level suppose to drop everyday? Cause its been going down to .5 and 1 then I bump it back to 4...I'm assuming this is a good sign...

I'm on my 3rd week of my Fishless Cycle and I finally have Nitrites showing up! Very weak about .25 but it's about time ;) So now what...Do I still keep my ammonia at 4 ppm? I read where I need to add 1/2 of the ammonia I have been to the tank so does that mean keep the ammonia levels to 2? My...

Thank You!
