I'll jump on that. Thanks so very much!!!

No green gravel. I've had and have used this tank for 8yrs. No trouble until about 6 months ago. The "green" doesn't grow on or seem to stick to the tank, plants or rocks either. I've added nothing new to the tank in terms of decorations. I'm baffled.

I have the same light that came with the aquarium when I purchased it. After this problem started about six months ago I tried keeping the light off after cleaning the tank and changing the water. No improvement. We are on a community well system so I thought maybe it's the water itself but it...

I have three established freshwater tanks. In the last six months, every time I change the water it turns very green within 3-7 days. It quickly gets to the point where I can't see the fish. My filters seem to be working fine. I just can not figure out why this is happening. Anyone? Thank you

Great way to look at it. My grand daughters think they're keepn all these babies so i did as you suggested and set up a tank just for these guys. When the girls go to bed I just scoop a few out and into the other tank they go lol. Chain of life right? Haha!

Yep thats the thing! Great, I didn't think it could be fixed. Probably have to call the manufacturer to replace it because I am definitely nut, bolt and tool illiterate! Thanks

canister trouble I must have a different problem as the part thats broken on my canister is plastic and is what holds the top on the unit.

OH no!!! All I have to say is UGH lol! Ill feel a bit guilty but I definitely see your point. Time to start scoopin! I think I had three females and all had babies at the same time. Im already over run, can't imagine if it were to get worse. :banghead:

Beautiful Wow, what a beautiful tank. Maybe I will convert one of mine to salt one day. Have never had this kind of help to do that before. What a great site!:thanks:

thanks again! Ok, thank you everyone! Sincerely appreciate the help. Now to figure out what on earth I'm supposed to do with hundreds of growing baby fish. UGH! Sure hope our little pet store will take them off my hands when they are ready. Wish me luck!:fish2:

Oh, also have a huge silver dollar (prob not what they are really called but you prob know what I mean) and two big angels, sucker fish, and a big spotted catfish of some kind.

Thank you!! Thank you sooo much for the advice. Also, about the water. My water always tests hard. I assume that is because I have well water. If the fish are acclimated to the hard water is it a problem or should I buy water for water changes in hopes bottled water is softer?

Wow, my used 80gal tank came with one of those canisters and we had the same problem, first the noise and then the clamp. Im quite leery of leaving the house for fear of a flood some day. I think Ill stick with the top filters.

I have four convicts in a community tank and now all of the sudden there's hundreds of babies. What do I do with em and will the parents eat em or should I separate the fry from everyone? Also, i'm new to this site and not sure if i'm posting correctly so I apologize if im in an incorrect place.:
