I do have 8 nerite snails. Should they be so hard to remove though?

Anybody?

Can anyone tell me what these white spots are? They are on the inside of the tank and will not come off with an algae magnet cleaner. Here is a pic:

Will the nerite snails really help get rid of it?

Is that good or bad? Lol

Second pic is the inside of the intake tube

Sorry, didnt know about bumping. Yes, i did notice the pinecone thing since you put it that way. What is that?

Yes. I did notice some pinecone effect since you put it that way. Sorry about bumping. Its second nature in some other unrelated forums:)

I just found my female jewel cichlid dead:( She was fine about 12 hours ago. I did notice some bloating the last couple of days, but i thought she was just pregnant. Exhibited no change in behavior that I saw. Any ideas? Parameters: pH: 7.8-8.0 No amm No nitrites Nitrates: 5-10ppm

You are awesome. So much information! In my API test kit it had a little conversion chart for # of drops to PPM. After several back to back(day to day) PWCs my nitrates are still on the fringe of being red. Could it be over feeding? I also added several clumps of java moss hoping it would help...

Ok I got my API gh and kh test in the mail and here are the results KH. About 50 ppm Gh. About 100ppm Ph. Holding at about 7.2 after several PWCs

Got the java moss today and it looks great! Thanks man!

Ya I know, but everybody gets along right now. I've been on the lookout for a good deal on 75-125g tank on craigslist.

55gal. Skirt tetras, gourami, 2x jewel cichlids, 2x blue dolphin cichlids, ropefish, pleco, 3x platys

Bump. Sorry I'm anxious

Do you think I should start using API 7.8 or perfect pH or the like?

No water softener, but I do have city water. I just tested the city water and it is slightly orange on the the nitrate test. No ammonia though. I have been %50 pwc once a week just because Im obsessed.

Why is my pH dropping? It has dropped from 7.8 to 6.8 in a week or so. Nothing has changed except the addition of a pleco and ropefish. All other parameters are good. Here is a pic:

I picked up some new lights off Amazon for cheap. DB Solarmax with two T5s and LED Moonlights for $75. Quick pic of the LEDs:

Im a total noob, but maybe some taller decor so everything doesn't look sucked to the bottom. Love the background though! How did you do it?

55gal. Is that enough?
