As of that post I had already removed the plants and placed them in a cycled quarantine tank. I thought about throwing out the val bc its the only one that didn't adjust. The others were fine. I have invested several months in this tank. It is fully cycled with good substrate (co2)and lighting...

I would hate to spend the money to stock the tank and end up with fish that are trying to kill each other i have a boy and a girl the boy is a little more brilliant than the girl but they are both very pretty. I ordered mine from aquariumfish sale and at first couldn't believe they weren't both...

I need yalls advice my fish look sick. I started noticing darker gray coloring on the top of their heads but wasn't sure. They seemed fine until i got plants. The plants kept rotting and I was trimming and vacuuming every other day. I started noticing fuzz on my decorations I immediately...

Thx so much I will try the break. It is programmed to fade in over a couple hours and fade out by 630. It is highly customizable though. Looks like I need to do more drastic trimming as I think it was damaged in transport. The other plants I received were fine but all my val was like rotting...

I'm not sure what Kelvin my light is but its 1984 lumens and is full spectrum. My tank gets co2. Couldn't tell you how much honestly it is diy but I go off their response and my sprites and rosefolia took off as soon as I finished rebuilding my system on both sides of the tank. I go off growth...

I have fairly new plants purchased online. Well the val I ordered doesn't look good i keep having to trim it back hoping it will start growing. But I've noticed this mess on my plants and some decorations. At first I was thinking its just from the plant not doing well through transport in the...

Thank you for your reply. I actually had seen them become more distressed after adding about 1/8 of the water so i dosed prime and held off on it. Three still died unfortunately. One died when the canister filter broke off it fell on him. One had bad ich and I have been waiting a week for...

I need yalls advice. I was quaranteening for about a week some dwarf red gouramis. They all look good but I was about to do a water change when I tested my tap and it has changed from 7.5 for the past three months suddenly to 6.8 way too different. I was considering going ahead and moving them...

A ph that drastically different would quickly kill them. Think about the bottles of ph up or down which says only move ph 0.2 in 24. That difference is 100 times difference they won't adjust in one day. Also I really think you should consider putting them in a container or quatantine tank and...

Hello aquariums enthusiasts. My name is Danyelle, I'm not entirely new to aquariums but wouldn't call myself an expert. Im currently in a bit of a crisis. I've never had to deal with crisis before I had a better in a cycled tank in lived a good long life. I have a baby ruby shark in a starter...
