Well its been a very long very hard fight, but I'm fearing I might be near the end. I've done all I can think of for this fish, and when one thing resolves, another takes its place. I thought geting rid of the ulcers would cure her and she go back to being healthy, but as soon as the ulcers...

I'm not sure, but I think snails are eating my java fern. Its been doing great growing very quickly, but I noticed it turning a little black on the tips of some leaves and a few days later big chunks of the leaf missing with black tissue all around. I see snails on the leaves occasionally, but...

I have finally decided to make my 90 a planted discus tank. The plants I planned on using are x-mas moss, bolbitis, anubias, val, foxtail, crinum, and probably some clover or monoselnium. Any foreseen problems with those? The tank is co2 injected and ligting is 220watts. Any additional suggested...

Heres a pic of my new babies! I have 13 altogether. Arent they adorable?

I highly suggest you go to Great Bay in San Lorenzo. LR is 4-1.80 a pound depending on how much you buy, pretty good stuff too. But it wont last long, so hurry! I'm going back tomorrow and getting some more, at that price I have too :D

I picked up 60lbs of mixed tonga and figi yesterday, I wanted to wait till I got my tank to let it cure in, but at a limited time $2 a pound offer I couldnt wait :) I have them in 2 styrofoam boxes, one with 2 powerheads, the other with 1 powerhead and an air wand. I mixed up a salt mix last...

Heres my 60lbs of mixed tonga and figi, 2 bucks a lb. :mrgreen:

Long have hobiyist and scientist alike searched for a different creature other than fish, reptiles or small rodents to keep in aquariums. I my self have made this new discovery.

I have been trying to find a good substrate for my 72 gallon. I wanted to use part sand from the ocean and part packaged sand. Now I know this is a dumb question, but when you vinegar test sand should it be dry? I poured some on some ocean sand and it did nothing, but the sand was wet. So if...

There was a guy from sacramento asking where to buy ro/diwater because he couldnt install one because he was renting. I just wanted to put it out there that they are selling 6 stage rodi systems on ebay with the option of either tapping into your water line, garden hose attatchment, laundry...

I was wondering if anyone would think a wet/dry would be alright on a low tech tank? The tank has an overflow, but I am thinking that it will get clogged with plant material constantly.

I've thought so for a very long time, and now this backs me up. http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/ns/news/story.jsp?idq=/ff/story/0002/20050708/0150997428.htm&ewp=ewp_news_0705calif_homes You know you have to earn over 110,000 a year to afford to buy a house here?? And not like a really nice fancy...

Unfortunatley, this was the best pic I could get. My x-mas moss has been pearling and so has my java fern. I got a really good batch of co2 going, I think Ive found the best mixture finally. For some reason, I cant get close up photos anymore without them being heck of blurry. I wish I could...

Ok, I'm really excited and nervous. Tomorrow (actually later today) I'm going to make my first proposal to my doctor for his fish tank. I just started my own business, Kent's Aquatics. Were going to do aquarium, pond and fountain maintenance, set ups, scuba lessons, and boat services. I'm so...

I just wanted to share with everyone a wonderful medication I discovered. Its called Tricide-Neo. Its for all external bacterial infections, fin rot, ulcers, mouth rot, etc. Its simple to use and extremley effective. I was getting to the end of the line on treating my flowerhorn for her body...

There is a local breeder in my area selling quarter size discus for $10 a piece. He says they are worth more, but needs the room. He sent me these 3 pics, but since I'm not up on what to really look for for quality, could someone (BrianNY :D ) give me a hand? Also, what should I ask him before I...

I've posted about the ulceration problem my flowerhorn has had. Not to much help from this site on that, but has anyone seen this?? The one side of her head is permanently black on one side, and has been for at least a week or two. What could cause this? I think I got a lemon fish :wink: . One...

Here is a pic of the wet dry my LFS sold me. Can this model fit a skimmer? Also, is it possible to hook this up to a fuge? Is this a good model, or should I get something else? Its for a 72 gallon mega flow tank. TIA

Here is a pic of my DIY (well, my husband actually built it) stand! Its 74x14x31 for my 90 gallon. We used the garf plans as a reference, a few mods were made. Were not planning on wrapping it in wood for now. I'm going to hang some fabric around it, and if it looks alright, probably keep it...

I saw this on drsfostersmith and was wondering if it was any good. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=12889&Ntt=wet%20dry%20filter&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&N=2004&Nty=1 I'm trying to decide on a wet/dry for my new (yippe!) 75 thats coming next week. The...

Would a school of 3 of each get along? My sister bought 3 what she thought were rosy barbs, but 1 is a glolite. I suggested she get a 2 more glolites and 1 more barb, but I'm not entirely sure they will play nice together I've never kept either.

I might be buying a 75 drilled tank. I kinda trust the guy that works there, but he is trying to sell stuff for as much $$$ as possible. I just wanted to get an unbiased opinion. What equipment would you purchase for this tank? And is a predrilled tank better than one that is not? My goal for...

Ok, usually my husband HATES it when I bring up getting another tank. He hates shopping for them or anything else fish related. Today we were at petsmart and ended up looking at tanks. He saw one of those "corner" tanks and was so interested in it. Then he, on his own, went to a LFS to check out...

I feel so stupid. I attempted tonight to treat my flowerhorns ulcers by sedating her in clove oil. I had my husband helping me, we put her in a bucket with the mix, and after about 3-5 minutes she seemed to be out. He picked her up out of the water and laid her on a wet towel on my kitchen...

With my bigger tank, flourish is a little expensive. I was thinking of getting some dry ferts off Greg Watsons site. I'm just a little confused about which one would be better. The PMDD Pre-Mix, Plantex CSM+B Plus Extra Iron, or CSM+B Plantex 1 lb. What is the difference between them really? Any...
