I have been using Melafix to no avail.

I have been battling a nasty case of fungus that systematically wiped out all of the fish in my 25 gal. I am at the point where I am going to have to start over fresh with new fish. My question is what I should do with a diseased tank? I don't want to infect any incoming fish, but I am also not...

I am planning on setting up a cheap little CO2 system for my 15 gal. planted tank. I am just curious what others have had luck with? Any links so I can print out instructions would be wonderful!

I happened to touch the plug coming from my eclipse III lighting unit and burned myself. As I unplugged it I noticed that the square unit got so hot that it had actually become disfigured in some places. Has anyone else had this same problem? Now I am afraid to plug my lights in while I am not...

I left mine with the parents and had no problems. Plus, when they start breeding, they won't stop. Keeping them separate from the oscars is all I would worry about if you want them to stay around.

What is your setup like? Tank conditions? I am looking to get into Brichardi soon!

thanks for the help, I will go with the whole volume then.

When doing a water change with my python, do I have to add enough dechlorinator for the whole tank volume? I knew just how much to add when using three gallon buckets, but now do I have to treat the entire tank because there is no way to pre-treat the water?

nope.. I get a kick out of feeding frenzies as well

Hopefully I don't even have to get into the story of the time that I dumped an entire 5 gal. bucket of water (of course it was freshly removed from a dirty tank) on my apartment floor to tell you how worthwhile the Python is.

It is great for the algae that comes off easily, but I have had some problems getting spot algae off with it. Have to use a good old fashion scraper for that.

I am looking to re-plant my 15 gal. due to algae problems that I let get way out of hand. Besides Java Fern (which is the only plant still doing fine in the tank), what other plants are relatively easy to keep. My watts per gal. are around 1.8. I am going to keep a much closer eye on levels that...

You could always use one of the specialty plant bulbs.

Python has all sorts of adapters top use. It even sells a universal adapter that uses a clamp to attach it to any width faucet without grooves (though it costs an extra $6 I believe). It comes with a male and female adapter though that will fit most faucets.
