Ya actually did some more investorgation, it didn't crack, the silocone let go in an area causeing a major leak, and yes it was on a stand. All tropical fish. Thanks for the advice so far, keep it coming. Im just hoping they do alright intill tomorrow in my small tank.

I lost almost alll of my water in 55 gal and was forced to put all 25 fish in my 10 gal for now, until tomorrow when i can make it to the pet store in the am and by a new tank. How long do i have or should i say do they have?, i mean i have all rock and fliter media, should i change any of it or...

Sorry for your loss, thats a real bummer.

ap is where its at, just be careful not to break the tubes. I have a problem with that lol.

Right i was reading that fourm about the ick thats been last over 3 weeks, see like i said no other ones have any signs of ick, not spots or anything, but my gold gournami does have a bright red spot near his gills so i reallyu don't know whats going on, but i am going to let it sit till prob...

Well the fish that had ick, the catfish dies. No other fish had any signs except him, but my gold gournami doesn't look that good, but it could be due to heat too. The at fish died about week an half ago.

I'm still very untrusting of taking my new fish that are in my qt tank that attracked ick. I am goign with the heat method of getting rid of ick, i notcied it on my catfish who recently passed away, not sure if it was from the ick or not, im guessing it was. I raised the temp to about 85 seeing...

So basicly, thats how you get it to show through without being so dark, i mean its looks awesome with the water back there if thats what it is, maybe i'll take it off and dry it, and try oil.

So when you use things like vasaline or olive oil it gives it that real bright look i take it almost like theres water back there, instead of a real dim look?

Hey thats a start fishyfanatic, and actually not a bad idea. So does your backround look all dark and not really noticable too?

Ya, i mean im getting a bunch of gravel in the tube and letting it suction up and clean inside the tube and dropping it back down, but it just doesn't look like theres debrie flitering through the tubes i guess you could say. I mean i did a gravel vac a week before maybe there wasn't alot of...

First of i want to ask if everyone had a good xmas, and if you guys got any cool new thinks for your tanks? On to the title of the post, I bought a back round for my tank you know one with like plants and a water fall bluh whatever the case may be. Well when i first bought it and put it on it...

So i did my first python water change, thing works nice and def alot quicker. I just have one question tho, the water thats coming out of the tank when i do a gravel vac doesn't look all that dirty or like theres particals coming out of it from the gravel. Usually when i was using the other...

Ok guys, now my gaint pleco died. i don't know have a clue whats going on. Well on a brighter note, i did the switch over to tap by using the python obvisouly this was after the pleco, so i know it wasn't cause of that. What do i do next t figure out what might be going on, any ideas?

I'm big into plants, but i do think they make the tank look nice and create great hiding places for fish. My only question is how do you guys clean your gravel if you have plants all around your tank, i mean for me i would say just go around it, but you have to clean the gravel near the plants...

Hey did that have any bearing on your fish or were you always using tap water? i just got my python last night and im trying to think if going for flitered to tap is goign to hurt my fish at all?

Ya they all were in the qt tank neons and bala's. Lonewolf def didn't mean to sound like a jerk about it, i know you were just stating and i apreciate all the help. I was too just asking if you think that could really kill fish cause i didnt think so either. O so high range ph is just to...

Malkore, no in the fresh water test kit, i have a ph test and a high range ph test there 2 seprete ones, i never what they were for. Obviosuly i know ph, but high range ph no clue what it is, but i always test ising all test when i do one. ph is 7.0, and high range ph test comes out at 7.5...

ok lonewolf, but i really have a hard time beleaving its from that, do you? I haven' ruled out that they got use of the high levels of nitrates and then when they got introduced to the lower onces maybe they got sick? I really don't know, but its making me not want to buy anymore fish, specially...

The tank size is 55 gal, like i said i had them upstairs in my 10 gal qt. When i did a big water change, my nitrates drop on my 55gal so i just put them in my new tank, i mean the water temp was a mtach both tanks running at 78 degree's and the levels were lower then my qt, which i had a...
