I haven't posted a picture here forever so I thought I'd share one from my latest tank. This picture shows a male Saulosi becoming a man (hes halfway through his color change from yellow to blue/black). It also shows a holding female in the bottom right corner. I was quite excited to find her...

I currently have the Milwaukee MA957 regulator. I cannot get a constant BPS no matter what I try. I am almost positive this is where my BBA problems are coming from. I am done with this and am looking for another needle valve. I am also willing to ditch this entire product and get a whole...

Tonight I acclimated a 3" boesmani rainbow I've had quarantined for a couple weeks from my 10 gallon to my 75 gallon planted tank with co2 injection. I was stupid and wasn't thinking that bigger fish require more oxygen than the smaller ones I have. As soon as I put him in the tank he began...

I recently acquired two male American flagfish from the LFS. I had never even heard of them before but thought they looked pretty neat, and read about how much they love hair algae. They are currently in my 10g quarantine tank. I also have a red glass barb in the tank. In a single night the...

I bought some corkscrew vals from the lfs a couple months ago, and was told they would grow the top of the tank. They are now about 10-12 inches and looking very healthy, but they don't seem to be getting any taller. After some more research, I've found that they probably won't get any taller...

Hello, I just installed the AquaMedic Reactor 1000 inline with my Rena XP3 filter. I have set my regulator at about 25psi and dialed the needle valve into about 5-10 bubbles per second. I can't see any co2 bubbles in the reactor and there are just short bursts of co2 that come out of my...

Hello, I have a 75 gallon planted tank and have finally given in to the co2 idea. My plants aren't taking off very well at all right now. I plan on doing pressurized co2 and dosing ferts per the EI. I know all the components of the co2 setup I want to get except for the reactor. I know alot...

I have had 3 2" congo tetras in my 75 gallon planted tank for about 10 days now. I run a Coralife 260 (4x65) watt light fixture from 11am to 9pm every day. Every time the light comes on in the morning, the tetras go to the bottom back of the tank and hide. The plants are mostly in the back...

I've been doing a fishless cycle with biospira for exactly 2 weeks now. Everything has made sense so far. I started dosing ammonia the first day and watched the levels slowly go down. Dosed 3-4ppm whenever ammonia reached less than 1ppm. After 4 days I saw nitrites in the water. Eventually...

I started my fishless cycle last week (March 8th) using Bio-spira as seed and dosing pure ammonia (from Ace). Its now been 8 days and my tank is going through 2-3ppm of ammonia in less than 24 hours, but my nitrites have been stuck at 2ppm for the last 3 days. Nitrates have been around 20ppm...
