Thank you for your help!

Wonderful information, thank you! Unfortunately the finless fishy looks like he won't be with us much longer, poor little guy. I'll be down to just one cory after that. I may try to rehome him and take down the tank for a while. I'll be sure to refer back to this thread when I need it again!

Thanks, I'll keep all that in mind!

There are only the three in a 10 gal so I think I'm okay on not overstocking. I just need to improve my water changing habits. I do have an API master test kit. I'll be sure to test the water while I get things going again. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll start with reducing feeding (won't be hard to do with a new baby in the house lol) and changing out the water. I may have to ask someone to help me get it done so it can be changed more often. How much of a change would you suggest and how often? Usually I change out about 20-40%...

I don't have another tank for QT. I'm afraid he'll only end up worse if I do that, anyway. I tried that with my betta and it was even harder for me to keep up with the water changes so she just got sicker. The only fish I have are one sick betta and two cory cats. The second cory doesn't seem to...

Some of you know that I'm expecting a new baby and have been struggling to maintain good water quality in my 10 gal tank. My poor fish have been incredibly neglected and I feel absolutely awful for the state that their in, so please if you can contain yourself, don't beat me down for this. I've...

Thanks everyone! I really like the lights so far and am going to try only keeping them on for feedings and to look at them occasionally throughout the day instead of leaving it on all day. I'm thinking I'll also get a snail to have an algae loving buddy before it can start building up too much...

Wow, sorry for the mega delayed response! Thank you! That's great information and very helpful.

Lol no worries! The bulbs I ordered should be here today so I guess we'll see how it goes. [emoji51]

Thanks! I'll look into those when it comes time to replace what I have. :)

Lol I'm glad to only have a 10 gal on a built-in desk that is just the right height for my to work with. I'd rather not take a bath in the tank! [emoji28]

Aww dang it. I've used an LED on a different tank and I don't think I had a problem with algae so I'm hoping this one will work out.

Thank you!

Thanks! I found a couple real LED bulbs like that one yesterday that I'm going to try. :)
