since my gravel change to sand 3-26-06. I took notice this morning that I am going through my cycle again. My parameters read as follows: NA-20 (but ny nitrates never were low)(there is nitrates in our tap water) NI-.25 PH-7.2 A-0 Could my NI go much higher or do you think I may just go...

We did it. Changed from the gravel to pool filter sand. Took us a good bit of the day yesterday and thank god my hubby was there to help me. Of course he made me do most of the work but he was there to back me up. I really like it with the filter sand. It looks alot better. And the gravel...

I just went out this morning and looked at my local Lowes and Home Depot store and all they sell is play sand. So I stopped by my local Pool supply store and got a 50 lb bag for $5.99 and they had like 2 skids of it. 50 lbs may not be quite enough for me but it will help me out.

OMG.........I was just reading your post and I almost thought it was the same one that I posted on a couple sites here within the last 2 to 3 days. I have a 55 gallon tank that i'm changing the substrate from gravel to sand. Make it look a little more realistic. so I am wanting to do the same...

Hi. Have 2 questions. I got a catalog yesterday for our LFS. As I was paging through it I found a new gravel that I would like to have. Its called Torpedo Beach Sand. It says its recommended for freshwater aquariums with external filtration. I can get 50lbs for $21.99. Now here is one of...

I haven't been on here in awhile and guess what it's confession time. Not a good confession a bad confession. Of course many of you know that I have a 55 gallon F/W tank and since it has been up, I have been doing very well with the water changes and so on. :o :cry: Here comes the confession...

My one is very active. Butthe other one doesnt do anything anymore. I look at it as if I got fish that just lay on the bottom and do nothing what is the sense of having them. When I can get fish that actually move. Thanks for the advice.

I do want to get some more. When I lost the one the other day, I decided to get some more but my lfs doesn't have any in right now. So I have to wait and keep checking in to see when they are coming in.

I recently bought 3 yoyo loaches to take care of my snails. And they did a really great job (should have bought them long before now) and anyway, since I had bought them a week and a day ago one has died. Poor thing. The other two were doing great until last night. They both had beautiful...

OK I went out last Thursday night which was December 22nd. I bought 3 yoyo loaches. I thought they weren't the cutest fish when I first bought them, but the more I look at them the cuter they get. But anyway 2 of my yoyo fish are doing really good and swimming around and have just really...

Whelp I just got back from the Petstore awhile ago. Got myself 3 yoyo loaches. 2.99 a piece. But I thought they would be bigger than they are. It don't matter to me as long as they take care of some snails. Thanks for your help e1 bye

Thanks a bunch for all your help. I'm going to go and get 3 of them. They will have plenty to eat. I'm tired of digging in there getting all these snails. Thanks again

Ok this question has probably been asked many of times but I have to ask. I have a major snail problem (pond snails) which is better of the fish to eat them I have been reading YoYo loaches and Clown loaches are best. I haven't updated my signature in awhile so this is what I have Platys Neons...

I was at one of my lfs this morning and seen they had a freshwater baby whale there. How big do they get? And does anyone know what they eat. The lfs told me that they dont get to big, I would have liked to have brought it home, but don't know enough about it. And it wasn't even that all...

I went down this morning and scooped out 100 more baby snails. I cant wait to get rid of them. I am posting a picture of what they look like. The picture isn't the greatest but I hope yous get the just of it. I have no idea what snails they are, but I know i only started out with 3.
