It's the stuff you use to clean with clothes. You put that in the washing machine... some kind of detergent used to desinfect and sometimes clean... anyway i`ve always used this technique without side effects. But you have to rince your decoration thoroughly. I'll try brushing my rocks.

I started a couple of days ago cleaning my aquarium decorations as they tend to get brown with algae and crap over time. Normally i use a cap full or two of javex in a bucket of water. does the job great and i rince the thoroughly after. But i'm getting to the rock now and i was wondering if the...

Alright ill stick to what you guys said. I Wont alter my ph.

Right out of the faucet...

My tap water ph seem to be high. I used my digital ph tester yesterday to see what it was. It normally tend to be around 7.8 which i find rather high for an freshwater aquarium. Should i gradually lower it to around 7.0, 7.2 with anything you can reocmmend or is the "stability of the ph is more...

OK great then i`ll start this right now.

Just bought the one you recommended to me it's seem a good quality and come with the stuff to calibrate the probe. from ebay. The funny thing is the the one you recommended my ship from right across the river where i live in Canada.

I normally tend to feed them twice a day. 7am and 5 pm. They are Gouramis. I'll start feeding them once a day if it will help.

ouuuuu !! i love you ! loll !! Just kidding... but i like what i read. I been wondering if they made something like those cheap. I'll get one asap on ebay. thanks alot.

I have somekind of problem with my ph testing. I'm sorta colorblind with different tint of blue and green since the scale of ph testing is between blue and green I have alot of difficulties reading my ph. I wonder if someone had a similar problem or any possible solution ?

thanks alot. I might indeed overfeed my fish. My tank is tempered glass as it's 75 gal. I`ll get a cheap plastic razor and dismantle it for the blade. I know that i have Black-Beard Algae which is quite hard to get rid of. and i think it's Green Spot algae ( on the windows ) which is the second...

Hi everyone, I seem to have 2 type of algae in my aquarium. One is a green one very hard to remove sticking to the windows of my tank. it come in little round spots. The other one form between the window and the substrate ( small rocks in my case ) I was wondering if any of you had any tips...

The tubes are ok. I`ve went to a fish store and the guy there tested them with a device that lights them. It's or the ballast or the starter. I`ll have to go to my LFS for parts.

i`ve tried switching tubes from socket but no success. I dont have any replacement tubes neither. So i have a bad feeling about this and i really think my ballast is dead. It contains 2 neon tubes no fan. It's a simple 2 neon set. It's not that complicated inside there i might try to repair it...

Hi, I seem to have a small problem with my lighting in my aquarium . I dont know if the problem is the ballast itself or the neon tubes but it doesn't want to turn on. Does the ballast turn on when only one tube is working or is it not ? Because everything seem dead. thank.

I will need to show you the algae i`m talking about. But Ok there might be too much light. Otherwise phosphate i dont know.

I have a big black / brown algae problem and need to do a blackout. Is there anything special i need to know or do beside wraping my tank in Black garbage bags ? I have a pleco which will need to be feed with spirulina while i do the blackout. Otherwise i have 2 kissing gouramis and 1 red dwarf...

Well i think i`ve pinned down the problem. My ph seem stable now. It's been 7.4 for the last couples of days. Otherwise it would ha gone back to 8.2 by now. Those coral rocks where the problem.

WEll... best buy since i got my aquarium ! Water is spakling clear !! I never got a water that clear. thanks for the info !

Here is what i have in my aquarium : the first one is the talked about unknown stone. Second one is my drift wood. third is my new zebra stone. EDIT @ 15:08 30/12/2006 : PH seem stable now. I`ll see later tonight

It is real wood but which one i dont know. Anyway i will compensate eventually with crushed coral if my problem reverse completely but it should raise too fast between wc.

Clown Loaches are very hard to keep alive from my experience. They are very sensible to changes. this should be a warning sticker on the aquarium. Dont buy me if you are still cycling or just cycled an aquarium or you are a total noob to the domain.

It is true. My Kissing gouramis are generally peacefull with one another. But everytime i do a waterchange the start fighting each other by wraping each other around the other one. It only happen then. They must feel stuck or limited to their territory. Also sick fish tend to stop eating and are...

OK i`ve made a 70% water change yesterday and did a ph test right after. The PH was around 7.4 since there was still water @ 8.2. I`ll do more test today and see if the PH is stable or not. If it rises again i`ll remove those rocks. I also have treated wood in my aquarium ( bought at the fish...
