Hey everyone. Still kind of new to this but I thought I would show a pic of my tank and my baby. What do you think?

Have a beautiful Kenyi who is acting very aggressive and territorial. Is she pregnant??

why exactly does one want to keep the lights out when you add fish? Is the light what stresses them perhaps?

Beautiful - I wish my LFS looked like that.

Ya it will definitely be a private sale. I would have to surrender to a lfs and I really don't want to do that. Like you said, hard to rehome and I think the biggest tank I have seen there is a 55b

I know them as tinfoil barbs :)

On my iPhone?

Meaning I am ok right? :)

I think the white one is a Kenyi, the orange one a bumblebee and the darker one a ?jewelled?? I am probably way off though

I know there are lots of you out there who probably know what these three are. Can you enlighten me?

That raises a good point. So now my question would be can you overdo the air input?? I have two HOB filters plus all four of my rocks decor has air ... Thoughts??

Just beautiful!!

Also very happy to report my Nitrates are at 20, Nitrites 0, and ph at 7.2 !!!!!!! Yippee

So glad it is clearing up!!

My tank today after a 60% pwc

Yes I use prime :)

So I am researching on line and the Aqueon 55/75 has a gph of 400 - so if I got two I would be at 800 which is just over 10 cycles per hour. Does anyone know of this brand though. What are your reviews?

Hehe my daughter is 4 and holds the hose. My son Is 1 and laughs at the fish swim around. They do help I guess, in their own way :)

Ok it is starting to make sense. So do you guys do this then with two hoses at the same time? I run a hose out (an water my strawberries outside through a window - hehe) and then when it is low 'enough' I turn the hose around and run the water off my tap into the tank. I am gonna get yelled at...

I trust your experience over mine for sure, but at 80% isn't that going to stress my fish out more then it is worth? Being that my tank is overstocked already wouldn't that leave them flapping instead of swimming? :) I am not discrediting your advice at all, but I want to make sure before I go...

I will do the water changes. Can't expect a change overnight but it is definitely improving already. My ph is back up and my nitrates are dropping. Down to 40 from 80 so that is an improvement.

Right now I would say I was doing 20-35% water changes daily. At least until my water clears up. I haven't heard of a bio wheel before but I will look into it. One of the advantages of this site ... Especially for beginners like me. I use a pretty basic test kit. It is on litmus paper with 7...
