Just a picture of the 10 gallon I have been keeping for awhile now. This is my first aquarium and I have enjoyed it quite a bit. I currently have Neon Tetras and Zebra danios in it but it needs way more live plants. Tell me what you think. :) Dropbox - Error - Simplify your life

I will probably move to using Equilibrium and getting a undersink RO filter for my home. Thank you again for all of your help mrvincent! ^.^

My fish are zebra danios and neon tetras. I currently have no way to measure the alkalinity of the water I am using. And the test kits for it are super costly. But i noticed this water has calcium magnesium and potassium added back to it already. The same things equilibrium adds so perhaps this...

I have the constant problem of high nitrates because of very very bad tap water high in nitrates more then 40ppm. The tap water here isn't safe to drink obviously. I have been cutting my tap water with 50 percent reverse osmosis water but my nitrates even in the water going in are high. I would...

See above about her scales poking out. Also months? eggs dont hang around that long and glofish arent live bearers they are tetras or danios which lay fry.

She may have bloat. Have you quarantined her?

Here is what my nitrate levels in tap water look like. Link: Dropbox - Error - Simplify your life

I am on city water. I think I am going to call the EPA and the utilities board about it. For now I am going to cut my tap water 50/50 with ro/di water when i do my changes experiments show my nitrates are only 10 ppm and my ph is slightly lower when i do this.. Its only like a dollar a gallon...

I have experimented with going to 50/50 ro(from a jug at the grocery store) and tap water. This method seems to keep my PH levels lower since normally they are on the high side and reduces the nitrates in the water considerably. Is it safe to use half ro half tap water? if so should i start...

So my tank is cycled but I cannot get my nitrate levels down past 40 PPM its hard for me to read exactly what it is as i cant tell the reds apart too easily. My tap water is 40 ppm nitrates all the time. Any one have any idea on what I can do to help reduce these levels? Maybe add some plants...

I had a catastrophe with my water quality awhile back so I drained my aquarium and refilled it. It was previously cycled. After refilling the tank and reacclimating my fish I expected a long cycle to begin again. Day 2 my ammonia spiked to .5 on day 3 it was .25. My nitrites have remained at 0...

I wound up going back to square one and draining and resetting up my aquarium and going through the painstaking process of matching water temperature treating all the water making a mess of my house and finally re acclimating the fish in the bag i placed them in. i will follow your advice and...

I bought a new kit today I am waiting for the moderators to approve my post with my recent results. I did another 50% water change tonight however and my tank ppm is down from its supposive 8 to 4 ppm. I tested my water I had prepared treated with Prime and stored this morning after doing a 50%...

Thank you for your timely reply. I did what you suggested and found some perplexing results when testing my tap water, water previously treated with Prime (this morning) i had stored in the usual containers for my next water change, water freshly treated with prime, and my aquariums water. Here...

I have been running this 10 gallon with 4 fish for 1.5 months now and the cycle seemed to be progressing normally... I have 2 Zebras Danios and 2 Neon tetras originally which is hardly overstocked for 10 gallons i will add more later if i don't give up first since both species are schooling...
