Found the site Glass cages

There's a website where you can order a new trim but I can't remember it. I'll post back if I find it. You can make your own brace or check to see if your lfs can order you one. You should empty that tank until you can make your own brace or order a new one. You wouldn't want to come home to a...

I would quarantine it like what you do with fish, then add a guppy and see if there's any ill effects.

Yes, the bottle will tell you how much to dose.

You can use seachems flourish comprehensive because the plants you have chosen are column feeders. If you do decide to get root feeders like swords, vals, crypts etc. you can buy or make your own foot tabs.

Looks like Java to me. Did you get it out of a lake or off of eBay?

I'm using a t8 Shoplight from Home Depot.

It's a 55 gallon planted tank that will be housing 10 or more cardinals, Rams and 2 SAE. Tank is going through a mini cycle so I can't add any fish yet.

I have a Fluval U4 internal filter that I want to replace. It makes a huge mess when I take it out for cleaning, plus it takes up a lot of space and doesn't look that great. Can someone recommend a quiet reliable filter that's under $100. Thanks

You can use blasting sand, play sand, pool filter sand, and silica sand. Just make sure it's clean before putting it in your tank.

I bought mine online from Amazon but I've seen them at petsmart.

Test strips aren't accurate at all. Go for a liquid test kit like the API master test kit.

I would use seachems metronidazole and treat the food and water column as well. Follow the directions on the bottle. I don't remember if it tells you how to soak the food. I would get a small cup fill it halfway with tank water mix just a little of metro. I can't remember the exact amount...

Goldfish produce a lot of waste which leads to high ammonia. Your filter will turn ammonia into nitrite then to nitrate. I would test your well water to see if nitrates are high just from the start or maybe it's the goldfishes waste. If the platies have stringy poo it's a sign of internal...

First off don't buy fish from petco or petsmart go to a local fish store. Your platies seems like it has internal parasites. Is her poo stringy? If so treat her with metronidazole. Goldfish are cold water fish and can't be kept with platies which are tropical fish. The male betta has to be in a...

I didn't think they hurt plants either, but it ate a hole in my lutea over my decaying jungle Val which is why I want them gone.

I forgot to mention that I will be moving the tank to a different location in the house. I was thinking of changing all the sand while I'm at it. I'll scrub the tank and dip the plants and place them in quarantine just in case the dip doesn't kill snail eggs. Is there a dip you guys can...

The bigger ones are about half a centimeter and the others are newly hatched.

Would 3 be a good start?

I'll remove a few just in case. How many assassin snails should I get for a 55 gallon?

Guess I'll have to net out some MTS and put them in another tank while the assassins do their job and put them back in later. Thanks guys

Change half of the substrate and wait a month then change the rest. For bigger tanks I would change 1/3 or 1/4 at a time but for a 5 gallon half would be good.
