    Ants and my aquaria

    That's going to be a tough one being that I am a licensed exterminator and I also have fish tanks myself I can say the best bet would probably be to gel bait them. Well in all reality you should first find out what is causing this ant infestation, what sort of ant are we dealing with which...

    Ugly bubble bar.

    I actually suction cupped my wife's bubble bar to the glass and than went ahead and just covered it with sand. I learned after finding our bubble bar making bubbles at the surface if you just get a few airline holders they work just fine at holding bubble bars in place.

    I think I killed all my Cory's?

    I just did another amonia test using the master kit I'm at 0.25ppm and I did at on my original post I have both a HOB and a sponge filter on the other end with an extendable uplift tube so I don't think surface agitation is the issue?
