Hi people I just made my first batch of 4dkh solution tonight. Does it matter what PH my 4dkh solution is? I haven't checked its PH, only the KH. As long as it's 4dkh I'm hoping that is okay. would suck if I needed to get the PH correct also lol.

I've never had this nasty parasite before in my tank and I'm not feeling happy about it. I purchased 10 cardinal tetras to go in my discus tank. I was sitting there admiring everybody when I noticed two of the cardinals have anchor worm!! Little white threads hanging from their bodies. Very...

Okay so I've been treating a sick discus for over a month now. It looks shocking. It's on deaths bed basically. I've tried everything. I think I treated it okay but introduced it back into the main aquarium too soon and noticed in an couple days one of its gills was bright red. Anyway asking all...

Hi, I've owned discus for about a year now. I added Co2 to my tank a couple of days ago very slowly. I am monitoring it closely with a drop checker and the drop checker isn't even green yet so the Co2 isn't even close to overdosing. One of my normal happy discus has decided to hide in the corner...

Hi, I am going to purchase either one of these co2 regulators with solenoid attached. I have never used pressurised co2 before so am pretty excited. Which one would you choose and why? I don't understand all the components of each, I think the deluxe one has a thing called a flow rate meter..Is...

I got this drop checker off ebay. I am to use the solution is comes with and aquraium water. no ph blue stuff and no 4dkh as I think it's premixed. Weird... Anyway before I started using Co2 it was green?? Isn't it supposed to start off blue and turn green when the co2 levels are correct? I know...

A pleco breeder told me copper is toxic to plecos and will likely kill them. I am curious though as cupramine is some sort of advanced compound. Has anyone ever used this to cure a protozoa infection on a pleco? I have a pricey L201 with some sort of skin protozoa that's proving to be very...

Hi I want to bath my discus and a couple other fish who look like they have a mild case of skin flukes (not gill flukes) I can't quarantine my discus because I don't have a quarantine tank big enough for discus. Hence wanting to do 30 min bath/dip instead. I bought some kordons rid ich plus...

Hi I was wondering...is it crucial to pre condition the water before it enters the tank or can you put water conditioner in the tank and then put in the tap water. I only ask because I normally use buckets and dechlorinate them first but I was hoping to just use an extension hose from the tab to...

Hey, I have a 10 gallon planted tank with 1 male betta on his own. What can I add in there so he isn't so lonely. I thought a shrimp perhaps? Know of anything else that's suitable and is happy in a 10 gallon? Jess Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi, I have a big canister filter and have never bothered even opening it up. I've had my tank for around 4 months now. Do I need to clean it? And how often? How do I go about cleaning it? Do I just take the sponges out and rinse them in tank water? And if so how often should I do that? What...

Hey, my pet Molly has a white mark on him. I noticed it was a bit raised, so I figured fungus. It's just one small mark on the side of his body. Not very big. Do you think pimafix could destroy the fuzz mark? He's acting healthy. It already seems to have faded a bit. He's a black Molly, very...

Ok so I struggled to take a decent photo. I wish I could upload a short video. Anyway My guppy is in quarantine tank with 0 nitrite and ammonia. He came out of my main tank which has high nitrite as it isn't completely cycled. Have been using prime and doing partial water changes. Anyway my...
