I have a new co2 system and am wondering about how many bubbles per minute I should set it at. I have fish and shrimp im my tank too. Thanks

I did split up my daylight time however because of too much lighting, 10+ hrs a day to 9 now. Ihave timer set for 4.5 hrs in morning, 4 hrs off, and 4.5 in evening. I dose co2 in am and pm at beginning of lighting periods and it is mostly diffused from my reactor by lights out.

Ph is 7.4. Not sure what else could be the problem. I use api leafzone, seachem nitrogen supplement as directed. All my other fish seem fine. I have micro crabs too that are just fine also. Not sure what else could be wrong. Oxygen level too low? Ive noticed not as many bubbles on my plants...

I do 20% water change once a week, what could I do? More changes? Maybe co2 or liquid ferts are affecting water quality?

Okay, another one died that just molted... Im confused... Waiting for the test kit I just ordered so ill have to test when my lfs opens this morning

Had a little ammonia around the time of death, but 0 now. Nitrites 0, nitrates less than 5, but in a planted tank with lots of plants. They seem fine until molting. Alkalinity is at 180, but so is the tap water

Gh is 300

Dead shrimp. Looks like they are trying to molt. Is gh alkalinity? Or hardness? Ill have to chcheck when I get home

My shrimp are dying when they molt, some seem to molt fine, others die with a crack in their shell, but still intact, what is goimg on? How can I help them?

Ive been feeding my 15 g tank api leaf zone, have fluval 20 for co2, root tabs in sand, and nitrogen supplement. I have 45 watts ho5 bulbs too. The leaves on my lilly and anubis are turning brown and a couple have holes in them. Some leaves are a few months old and large. Could they just be...

Yeah, one was on the larger crabs back and the other looked like it was fighting to get on its back also as the larger crab was trying to pry it off with its claws. Looks like the two little ones were jockeying for position

2of my small microcrabs are holding a larger one one on top, the other on bottom. Are they breeding, fighting?

Found everything I needed@planet inverts... Even tells how to safely get rid of them. Weirdest method, but I'm trying it...see how it worked tomorrow morning

looks like hydra... Darn... Thanks for the link... Anyone ever had to deal with this before?

White flowery things attached to the glass on my aquarium. Any idea what these are? Good, bad? What should I do?
