Aquarium Advice Regular
Ok so i'm going to get a 18 watt UV Sterilizer. I have a 55 gal tank and from what i read i want to address algae and parasites so i could only pass about 100 GPH through the UV filter. I'm looking to add a fluval 104 which does about 125 GPH. I already have a Magnum 350 Pro system on there and it is working great.
I also want to lower my PH and hardness. I don't want to use chemicals at all because of the bouncing that can come from using them. I want to use peat moss, but what type and where can i get it? Can i go to HD and pick up a large amont? What shoud i look for when buying?
In my last post i believe that i lost a golden ram due to internal parasites. His poo was clear/white. I have 3 more blue rams right now and i think that one of them also has the problem. Does internal parasites spread from fish to fish or does it just stay with the host fish? My tank prems are ok my nitrate is about 40 PPM and i'm going to be working on that issue, but everything else is ok. My temp is about 80- 82. I'm looking at buying some Jungle medicated food and trying that to see if i can stop this issue. Any suggestions?
