    Angelfish Breeding

    I have a pair of Breeding Angles. However, within a few hours a lot of the eggs turn white. I don't know why so many so quickly. I have a nice flow of water over them. So what is the best way to prevent this from happening. Eggs unsuccessfully hatch. They're in a 65 gal tank. Help!!

    How do I remove algae form plants

    Thanks for your valued suggestions. I have tried no lights for a week and spot sprayed with both Excel and H2O2 every day with very little effect. It's not wide spread or out of but it's annoying to say the less. I took out all my rocks and beached them. BBA comes back in a week or so. I...

    plants not growing

    Your aquarium looks fairly new. How long have you had these plants? Most plants take a lot longer then most people expect. From your photo they look quite healthy. I also noticed that your substrate isn't very deep. I would recommend 2-3 inches. Something to think about.

    How do I remove algae form plants

    I have several bunches of Tall Hairgrass plants in my 65 gal aquarium. There's BBA covering the leaves. They seem to stop growing and the leaf blades are covered with the stuff. It would be impossible for me to pull them out and try to bleach out the leafs. Do you think I should just trim...

    Co2 injection is 12 bbs is this too high

    Bubbles are very fine. They are pushed down by my filters out flow and sucked in from the intake. I'm sorry put I never heard of NO bubbles coming out of a diffuser or any other type of devise. Please explain. Yes I have a 1.5 diffuser. I don't care for it. Better results with my powerhead.

    Co2 injection is 12 bbs is this too high

    What size tank do you have. Mine is 65 gal so I know I need more bps but 12 seems too high. Any less and the check valve color stays blue. Using 10-12 bps the check valve is green. I have never had it reach the yellow mark. I also check my PH with reading 7.2 before and 6.9 after co2 injection.

    Co2 injection is 12 bbs is this too high

    No leaks. I checked all connections using the soap and water check. Everything is tight. I am using a 5lb co2 tank with a 2 gauge reactor and diffusing through my 350 gph powerhead. I don't believe the surface is too rapid. The water surface has just a small simmer.

    Co2 injection is 12 bbs is this too high

    I have a 65 gal planted fish tank. CO2 injection system. I'm running 12 bbs in my tank. My starting PH is 7.2 and after 8 hrs of running the PH is 7.0. My KD is 4. That means I'm only getting 12 PPM of CO2. I don't know why the PH doesn't go down. I know it should be higher...

    Bearded Alge

    I have tried all the recommendations what have been suggested. From treated with h2o2 and excel with no success at all. I've used a syringe and a spray bottle on the effected areas. Nothing, I mean nothing. I might as well have fertilize the BBA. I have the light dimmed as low as it gets...

    WATER SOFTENER PILLOW & Plants

    Thanks for your advise. Everywhere I read, said I need to lower my GH and KH. That my water need to be softer. But since everything is doing well I'll take you advise and stop fussing. I don't like putting chemicals in my tank anyway. Except approved fertilizer as needed.
