That is very nice of you to offer. I hope you are not bombarded with requests.

Sounds like the kit is a dud, mate!

Well I must admit to having trouble with test tube colour comparisons myself but that doesn't make much sense. I don't know this but the kit may not be capable of testing that high. Or perhaps your first test confirms the second and ammonia is very high (??). The only way I know to suggest is...

I'm thinking 1 ml of ammonia in 4 ml of water would blow the test off the map when talking parts per million. 20% versus 8 ppm is way out of scale. I would guess the kit doesn't even test anywhere near that high. It would be like putting 20+ gallons of ammonia in your 90 gal tank.

Well I guess I'm anyone at the moment. Your post went right over my head not knowing what you were referring to: it seems to be a very advanced post many might not understand. And I'm one(?) Example: (???) Quite enjoyed your serial tank setup post.

Shoaling is just an older English form of word for schooling which just means enough in samples in a group to have a busy "school room." In a fish tank I would say six is a good number. Cardinals school fairly well in quantity 12+. The others I'm not familiar with.

Thanks for the last two positive comments on the Python. How do you think this will work over 30 ft? It seems to be very popular but I wondered whether it would prime and continue on its own with out a constant prime. And is doing a 4-6 gallon water change each day as effective as doing one 50%...

Ouch .....would not have thought it would be that much. Nearly made a mistake, nearly but didn't. What does your set-up look like and do you use it for draining and filling. I am very excited about making water changes easier. Some sort of system would compel me to regularly do them while...

I was wondering about how much water it would take to prime it, especially over 30+ feet. Gave a slap to the side of my head, as I hadn't thought of a pump! Thanks.

Yes a two way. I have some back issues and carrying several pails of water back and forth doesn't appeal to me.

I have been looking into deciding how to do water changes and have been looking at the Aqueon tap to aquarium system. I have also been watching the DIY set ups that have some appeal versus the cost of ones on the market. I would need 30 -35 feet top get to the source water. Will be used for a...

Are any other fish showing any difficulties? I hope you got by okay with this problem.

I am really curious why you might not think this to be a protozoan infection with all of the good water test results? I mean what alternative remains to be considered?

Velvet rust disease maybe. Too many bugs in the aquarium? Source: https://pethelpful.com/fish-aquariums/velvet-disease-rust-disease-gold-dust-disease Symptoms The symptoms depend mainly on the severity of the infection. During the beginning of the infection, the affected fish will show some...

Pickering ....ring ....ring. Is there an Aquarist club around here?
