    Just set-up my aquarium.

    IF you have an old filter THATS STILL RUNNING ON AN OLD TANK then trow it on the new tank and you should be good to go within a few hours other wise your gunna have to wait a good week+ sometimes a month before your tank will be haabitable for fishes.

    Discus questions:

    I have been doing the discus thing for a good year now and have gained a very strong knowledge of the fish and what they require. All I can say is learn as much as possible before trying to raise and keep discus. They are an addiction and if you don't have the money to dump into them then they...

    Discus Hex Infection

    fluke tabs are mainly formalin. This is a great med but really hard on the fish. I use it only on fish that can take it. I rarely use this med on weakened fish. Good luck with it though. Really remeber to add alot more air to the water. The prazi does lower the o2 alot. Formalin lowers the...

    new tank proposition

    both 120's are good the wide 120 is 18 deep which is still workable. It really comes down to the aquascaper not, the aquarium. I make my 55 gallon look awesome and still look much deeper then it really is.

    Discus Hex Infection

    Make sure your temp is 90+deg when you metro or eles the treatment would be nullified. Metro is a human med designed to work at 98.6 deg. The prazi treatment might be alittle stressfull on the fish right after a metro treatment. PRazi isn't as kind to the fish as metro. Usually when I prazi my...

    new tank proposition

    A 120 tall is the same width as a 55 gallon. It's a great tank for a planted tank. RO filters are reverse osmosis (SP?) they take everything out of the water, and I mean everything. There sould be no need for a RO filter unless you are gunna breed your fish. Canada has some good fish. Ask...

    Discus Hex Infection

    Change the 50% of the water and dose 500MG per 10 gallons. Wait 12 hours and Change 50% of the water and dose anouther 500mg per 10 gallons. Do this every 12 hours for 3 days. The fish should bounce back. If no then it might be tape worms but, the way you deiscribe him he must have hex...

    new tank proposition

    You will need to do your research on the discus first. If you don't you will buy young small discus that will either immeadily die or become stunted. Unless you want to setup a bare bottom tank (spongefilters,heater, W/C once every day or 2 at 50%) than I would not say start with young fish...

    Sick Discus!

    It was hex. Learn about, and get some metro powder. www.jehmco.com This drug would have saved that fish. I dose my fish with it every 6 months since I have put them in a planted tank. I dose 400-500mg for every 10 gallons at 92F every day for 3-5 days. 50% W/C before each dose. It always...

    Discus Keeping the Learning Expierence

    O. I thought you meant shyness as a permantent trate. My bad. Of course, new fish get alittle shy in new enviroments especially when there are already established fish in the tank.

    Gourami with parasites?

    Sounds like tape worms or hex. Try praziquental first then do a full metro treament in a QT tank. Prazi wont hurt your plants

    Ich has re-emerged in my tank

    Quick-cure is your best option. But, I dought that ich is whats killing your fish ich has to be pretty damn bad to kill fish. Lets start by asking what your parms are nitrates? PH? ammonia? KH? GH? temp? Do you QT you fish or just drop them in your main tank?

    How do you feed frozen blood worms???

    just thaw them out in a cup and add enough so a bunch reach the bottom. Your bottom dwelers will start hanging out were you feed the worms. You might try Califonia Black worms instead. They are much cleaner and they stay alive in the tank insyead of poluting the tank

    My first attempted at a planted.

    You will be limited on ground cover simply because you don't have CO2 or high wattage. I would say go for some good stem plants and cryps and fil that whole tank up with plants

    40g done just adding fish now

    If you don't use that many plants you will battle algea alot and who wants to do that. On a side note,At 2+WPG Iwould highly suggest a pressureised Co2 system. You really wont want any flucuation in the co2 or algea will take the advantage and start taking over. If you were going to do a...
