A flocculant! What's the product name? Never mind me I can find it. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ok so I cleaned the filter and pump, it is moving a little more water now but the impeller is shot so I will replace it as soon as I can. I also hooked him up with an air pump and large aquarium air stone I had so that should help some. I will try to clean the filter again tomorrow. I picked up...

Would a pleco help? My lfs has one over a foot long. Or is that a bad idea. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Will do, I have an API freshwater master test kit so I'll check it, and I read an article on barley straw for algae so I will try to find some and set that up. Oh and yes I'm pretty sure the pump and hoses are clogged really bad so that will be a chore. I'm greatful for the feedback thanks guys...

So I went to my uncle's house whom I haven't seen in about 2 years. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw his algae infested backyard pond, which used to be crystal clear and gorgeous by the way. His health has declined and isn't able to keep it up and I desperately need to help him. It is...

Hmm, now I'm thinking either Peacock or Mbuna. Decisions, decisions. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Oh ok I see. Well it's a good thing I had an extra pump in an established tank. should that be enough since I didn't keep any substrate or decor that was in it? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I know but the lady I got it from didn't even have any filter in the pump. The pump was just turning the water so I figured what little BB it did have was all in the water. I have two pumps on my 40 gallon tropical tank so I moved one to this new tank for now Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium...

Well I just wanted to keep the existing BB instead of starting a new cycle. We got it moved over and set up a couple of hours ago. I kept 30 gallons of tank water and topped off with conditioned tap, I did use new substrate and decor I already had. The fish are back in and seem happy with their...

I just bought a 75 gallon tank stocked with 12 medium size fancy goldfish. I want to take the goldfish to my lfs and turn it into a South American cichlid tank. Would the cichlids be ok in the existing water or do I need to start all over. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My wife brought home 4 gsp about 1 inch long they were starving and nipping each other's fins. After a couple days and a few feedings they have calmed down a little but one has white spots on it's back instead of black spots. The spots on its side are black but white on it's back! Is there an...

Oh yea the 15 gallon is now my sick tank in the laundry room. I learned about cycling after we lost the goldfish. One mistake I'll never make again. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My wife and I got a 15 gal goldfish tank for our kids 2 years ago. We now have a 40 gallon long tropical community tank in the living room and a 29 gallon bow front green spotted puffer tank in master bedroom. Thinking about either a South American cichlid, or saltwater tank for the hallway. I'm...

I have a banjo catfish and he's always burrowed down in a different spot. Although it's kind of hard to see them unless you have white sand and he gets along great with my Corys.
