The charcoal if left in the canister a rather long time can cause nitrates also.

Greetings. Well, I have to wait until the new tank arrives to take some measurements to see what I can fit under the tank. I will have to fill the auto top off manually, which I don't mind doing. I will need a good size container to hold the water with kalk, the float switch and a dosing...

Thank you for the link darb2, but, I don't have the facilities to make an auto top off. :(

Greetings. I will be upgrading my 10gal nano to a 30gal breeder (36 3/16 x 18 1/4 x 12 15/16). On my nano I currently use B-ionic 2 part additives. I'm thinking of using kalk with the new tank, but the problem is that I cannot make an auto top off system, nor hook it up to a water source. So...

Thanks D-DAY and BrianNY. BrianNY, That mall is near where I live. :D

Greetings. Yesterday I removed all of the tank's old silicone. Scraped it all off the glass with one of those one sided razor blades, worked like a charm. I also noticed that the silicone came off on some parts rather easy, apparently unglued itself somehow. I rinsed the tank and cleaned the...

Greetings. Here I have two pics of the tank and the mess. :mrgreen: Any recommendations as to how should I remove the old silicone? Should I remove the silicone from the bottom only or should I do the entire tank? TIA

Greetings. Thank you madasafish, I will do everything to make sure it is sealed properly. Hello BrianNY, yes the tank was level. Sati, the tank is about a year old. When I bought the tank I bought several 5 gal. pails at HD that totals the capacity of the tank, for just that. :) Right...

Greetings. My 46 gal. bow front by All-Glass, has just sprung a leak to the bottom-back of the tank. I'm in the process of removing the water and everything else to see where is it coming from. Is there any way of telling as to where exactly at the bottom seam it is leaking? Or should I just...

Here is a pic of my 46gal tank. I hope you enjoy it.

Greetings. Thank you for all the info. The livebearers that I have right now are: sailfin mollies, black mollies, gold dust mollies, silver mollies and fancy guppies. The rest to my knowledge are egg layers. Again, thank you all.

Greetings. Well since I haven't had the chance yet to buy the KH and GH test kits, I cannot answer your question just yet Voodoo. TankGirl, so far no problems with my livebearers(I think), just wanted to know what problems can come up with the KH and GH not being in the right range. Also...

Thank you shawmutt. Well, I was reading a recent copy of AFM about water chemistry and it recommends that if you are having trouble with livebearers(which unfortunately doesn't state what kind of trouble) that the problem could be lack of hardness in the water. So I wanted to ask what do AA...

Nice! I used to have one which was green with white spots and the mouth had purpleish and white stripes.

Greetings. What options do I have to supply calcium and magnesium to my 46gal. FW tank? Any household products?, if not which aquarium product I should use? Thank you.

Thanks Voodoo Chilli. I will keep an eye on them to see what happens.

Greetings. Thank you for all your info. From your descriptions I believe I definitely have a pair. As Voodoo Chilli mentioned the female in my tank has the "rosey, pinkish colored belly". I have also seen them swimming in circles, perhaps courting?

Thank you Fruitbat. Is there a way to tell male from female? From the pair that I have one has bright colors, the other is almost totally grayish. TIA

Greetings. I would like to know more about this type of fish, regarding breeding, care, growth, and your ups and downs with this fish. From what the LFS told me, this fish can be kept in a community tank. What are your experiences about this? Can this fish be kept and bred in a 10 gal tank...

Greetings. So far I have lost the following fish, one male fancy guppy, one small angel, two female fancy guppies(the originals). Cause, still unknown.

Will do. Thanks.
