Yes! GLA is certainly the way to go. You really get what you pay for with CO2 systems

Did the other tank have the same water? If not did you acclimate?

Ich indeed. Use Kordon ich-attack. its all herbal and wont hurt the other fish in the tank. I had great results in a week or two using ich-attack. E

Where are you getting for fish from? I personally did fish-in cycling and had two deaths, but it was because they jumped out of the tank, not the water quality. Maybe get some hardy low light plants in there? Plants love the cycling process and i use plants and a couple fish to cycle my tanks.

Sounds good. I have a flying fox in there. You think they will get along? In Soviet Russia iPhone You!!

Dosed with excel and flourish daily, high tech planted, ecotech lighting, glaco2, etc.

Hey All! So I just had to get rid of my 9.5" long rhino pleco, as he was too big for my tank, but also pooped so much it was killing my bio-load (not a good thing for a discus tank.) I am looking for warm water (my tank is at 82.5 degrees for the discus) algae eaters. I currently have a flying...

Finally got some discus in my tank. Two for now, and two to go! In Soviet Russia iPhone You!!

Grabbed a shot of my discus last night (which has been tough to do). I have a blue diamond and a red scribble and will be adding more soon. They are thriving and doing well! So happy with these fish and tbe best part, I got the diamond for $15 and the scribble for $25. It pays to know a LFS...

I hear ya, but plants are great for cycling tanks. I cycled my old 55g with plants. Never had an issue. Just a thought. Keep on it and itll cycle. In Soviet Russia iPhone You!!
