3 months ago I upgraded from a 10g tank to a 30g one. The filter I have been using is a mariland the one that comes with the biowheel. I got tire of working with the biowheel to work , I have to fix that very often and I got tire and I'm looking for an upgrade. I have been reading a lot about...

ok Thanks I really got a little confuse but I think I got it now.

So you're currently not mixing?

After reading 33 pages from this thread I got confuse in one thing, is Osmocote+ and the capsules the only thing I need or there is others ferts I need to mix?

Thanks for help. I have the CO2 running to one bubble per second only so I will let it open all night and see what happens

Thanks, I was using the 24/7 mode. Moon light, is count as light? I remove the plants from the pots and removed brown leaves and use root tabs. I'm using 1ml of excel dailly(10g tank) I'm also dosing ferts and today I set my diy co2. A question about co2 it is safe to let it run during night too?

How I can get rid of the algae

I already have 2 weeks with my new planted tank and I think I already have algae problems. I was using a DIY co2 but I have like 4 days without using it because I got out of citric acid and I'm waiting for some I ordered. I'm using exel . Below is a pic of the tank, also the one on the back...

I have take out like 10 snails and every day I see more.

Thanks great information in this thread.

Thanks for your input, this is my first planted tank and everything is new for me.

Thanks for the reply, it seems most of them came from the moss I bought. But I already have taken like 5 from the tank, is quite annoying.

I'm 100% sure is not pregnant now it seems this thread doesn't fit this topic anymore. I moved the fish to her tank, did a 50% wc and add some salt. Also started to do some dewormer food , just in case. She looks a little better.

I recently built a planted tank and it seems the plants I bought had some snails. I don't know if it is something I should worry or not. There is a pic of some of the ones I have found

It was bought from petsmart so probably treatment weren't good they were in a tank with tons of guppies.

Yes, they were turning white.

I have already 2 months with the fish, The tank is cycled ,0 ammonia,0 nitrite and the nitrate is 5pmm. PH 7.5 . I moved the fish because it was acting like my other pregnant fishes when it was time to go in labor. It was strange for me because I didn't think it was pregnant. I moved her to...

I have tank with 6 fish 2 males and 4 females, the other 5 are platy and she definitely looks different. Until today she was the one chasing the other fish , she was very active. Today she seems strange, she was like shaking int he bottom of tank and staying there for long of times. The I...

I wasn't sure if this section was the right one. I have a swordtail I guess, I mentioned "I guess" because it was sold to me as a platy. She is acting strange since today, I had her in a different tank with some platy and since today the other fish started to bully her(in the past she was the...

Playing with the co2 I think I may overdose them with co2, since I regulated the co2 , the rest of the shrimps are okay.

I recently made a 10g planted tank. I have like 15 platy frys there. I put some ghost shrimps and after a week of normal behavior today 4 of them died. My water parameters are Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0,Nitrate 5pmm and ph pf 7.2 The temp is around 82 most of they while I have the air conditioner...

Well unfortunately he died yesterday.

Strange I'm pretty sure they were visible before. I tried to upload again and it was failing, so I will leave the links for them. The fish still seems strange. He doesn't look okay. From time to time he swims active and then he sit on the bottom for a while. I added salt to tank. No sure if...

Here are some picks, they don't look that great but it was the best I could get. The fish is the red one.

Finally it seems my tank cycled. I have closely checked ammonia and nitrite last 3 days with results as 0ppm . Is a relief I tough it wasn't going to cycled.
