I notice in this forum people do not enforce these questions. These are your questions in the sticky above. If you make this a mandatory thing it would really be most helpful so that these questions do not have to be asked individually. Most forums keep this practice, as it really helps the person giving advice, and the member seeking help a good reference as to what is going on.

2~What are your tank parameters (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, temp, pH)? Please give exact values.
3~ How large is the tank? How long has the tank been set up?
