Hi. I discovered a few days ago that my 36g bowfront had a crack in the front. Yesterday the crack was worse and had in fact gone sideways. I bought a 75g and a fluval 406 Canister filter last night. My questions: will moving the filter media from my fluval 70 hob to the new 406 canister, and...

Is it okay to use 1 fluval zeo carb bag, 1 fluval ammonia remover bag,and a fluval sponge cut in half lengthwise?

water help Hi, thanks for replying. I thought it was probably a bacteria bloom, but was not sure. I will do small water changes as suggested. I am not sure if 72f or 74f is better. 74f felt vey warm to me. I currently have 12 golden minnows, 5 zebra danios and 4 upside down catfish in a 36g...

I had to recently replace my Fluval Aquaclear 70 with a new one. I put 2 of the old media and one new media in the new filter. Now my water is cloudy. Ammonia is 0, Nitrites are 0, but Nitrates are in between 20 and 40 according to the API color chart I have. I use the master kit with drops...

Will cleaning the carpet right in front of my 36 g freshwater tank be harmful to my fish? I have a regular store bought carpet cleaner and was planning on using Resolve cleaner in it. The only warning on the label is to not drink it or get in the eyes. My tank is about 3 feet above the carpet...

Using aquarium heater So sorry for the confusion. I am concerned about both the water I use for changes as well as the temperature of the house. I do not run my house furnace at night and it can get pretty chilly. Thanks for the input. I will check out that heater. Sorry again for the confusion.

I have a 36 g bowfront, non planted, fully cycled freshwater aquarium. I have 12 Golden Cloud Minnows, 6 Zebra Danios, and 4 UDC's. I have had the aquarium for a little over 6 months. I have never used a heater because my tap and RO water have kept the tank between 72-74f. My concern is that...

I am thinking about changing my Aqueon 50 HOB filter to an AquaClear HOB because I read they were better and kept the water clearer. I am wondering which AquaClear is better..... the one rated for up to 50g that cycles 200GPH, or the one rated for up to 70g that cycles 300GPH. I have a 36g...

Fish acting strangely I don't know how or why, but she is much better. She still sways when she swims, but she started eating again and does not float down to the bottom anymore. She got really thin, but is eating better every day. I am wondering if she got a concussion and now has some...

Fish acting strangely Her breathing does not appear to be labored at all. How can I tell if she has flukes and won't my other fish get them if she does?

Fish acting strangely She did not eat again this morning and I have not seen her poop, but I do not always see my fish poop. My PH is 7.7 I know that is a little high, but it has always be that high. I was told by several people not to mess with trying to lower it as long as the fish were...

Fish acting strangely Thanks for responding. She is still doing the same things. She sways or zig zags, and then she stops with her tail pointed down and floats downward for a few seconds and then starts to sway again. She is not bloated nor does she appear to be gasping for air. This is the...

Thank you so much for our prompt reply. I though it would be okay but wanted an experienced person's opinion first. Thanks again

I have an Aqueon HOB Power Filter 50. There is quite a bit of grayish, pinkish stuff on my biological grid. I assume this is the "good bacteria" growing like it is supposed to. However, my nitrate levels have gone up recently. Ammonia and Nitrite both at 0. My question is can I or should I wash...

A friend of mine has a female molly that just gave birth. She was able to rescue about 2 dozen of the fry from the parents and other fish. How many babies to mollies usually have? Once they start to have the babies, how long does before all the fry are expelled? And finally, how often do they...

Thanks Thanks to all who responded. I am going to get 2 fish tomorrow and if all stays good with my water, I will get 2 more in a week. I will keep a close eye on my water conditions. Thanks again! :grin:
