That's cool!!

Thanks! I wasn't sure but everyone seems happy and the water checks out.

Good to know. I have been wanting to breed my neon tetras in my 2.5 gallon but I wasn't sure how I was going to heat it. I wish I could get away with not heating it.... but that's another topic.

That's pretty cool! How do you heat the vase?

Anubias is the only one I managed not to kill when I first started. I still have my very first Anubias from 3 years ago.

Hello, Last night I made myself some root tabs using the recipe suggested in another thread of Miracle Gro and Osmocote in gel caps. I came home this evening to find a layer of bubbles on top of my aquarium. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Thanks!

*Update* I shook the dickens out of NitrAte bottle 2 and I am not getting NitrAte readings. They are somewhere around the 10ppm I think. Its so hard to distinguish between 10 and 20. Does anyone know if that is too high? They have only been in there since a couple of days and I just did a 25%...

Thank you! I will search for an expiration date. I think my test kit is about 3 years old.

Thanks! I just did a water change just to make sure since I am showing a bit of ammonia and no NitrAtes. I didn't realize how quickly the good ammonia eating stuff would die off. It was only two days that the tank was empty. I will test again shortly to see if the Ammonia dropped. I may also...

Did I post this in the wrong section? I guess my main question is what temperature is best? Tomorrow I am getting a thermometer and some Java Moss.

Hello all, I have just restocked my tank I have 9 Guppies, 4 male and 5 Female (I had 6 female but I lost one already.) I also have 10 Neon Tetras. I am hoping I didn't lose my cycle between the death of my Blackmoor and the restocking. I am not sure though. Current water levels are...

Thank you. How do I dose ammonia, and will that hurt my snails at all? Edit: Oh, I see you linked that. I shall click the link. Thanks!

Hello all, My Blackmoor Manny has passed away. I would like to take steps to restock my tank because I still have my snails and my plants to care for. I don't know how to go about making the tank safe for new fish though. I would like to do a variety of small schooling fish this time...

Thank you! I will look into that. Probably not a bad idea to have some sort of set-up for a QT tank anyway.

My first batch is setting up in the fridge. Hopefully he will like it! I have a secondary question about the quarantine tank. I have a 10gal tank I could use. However, I no longer have the bubbler or the filtrations system for it. I moved both to a tank out our business that has an angel fish...
