Thanks. Is your aquarium higher than the sink? In my case the sink is higher so I believe I would need the water to be on continuously to have that siphon effect.

Question regarding copper. My entire house's water supply system is made of copper pipes, and I never had problems with shrimps or snails. All my faucets will dispense water that has been through hundreds of feet of copper pipes. Are you saying that is toxic to shrimps and snails? I only use...

I am thinking about putting together a home made Python kit myself. I read a few articles on how to put together a DIY version. How to connect this piece to that piece etc...I don't really need any help in the parts and assembly, as different faucet need different attachments and adapters...

I just bought six new healthy fantastic looking stems of Rotala Wallichii and next day all the leaves are gone! Eaten by the four golden mystery snails I keep to clean up the bottom litter from my fish. I have many other plants and they generally leave those alone but this new one must be...

So now after a few weeks my angel fry are beginning to have the "triangular" shape of an angel. Some of them even have very long fins like the dad. I started off with over 100 eggs (yes I counted LOL), and when they first hatched and swimming free I think I had about 70-80 fry. At this point...

OK last night I finally decided that too much junk has accumulated in my tank and I need a thorough cleaning, and since I use UGF that means complete breakdown of my tank. This was the first time I did it and I thought about the process in my mind ahead of time, with the goal being that I don't...

There are two different products: Top Fin® Water Conditioner Product description says "Instantly treats tap water, removes harmful chlorine, chloramine and heavy metals." and Top Fin® Tap Water Dechlorinator Product description says "Removes...

I don't seem to have much luck with a gravel vac. First, I have bought a couple and they all suck up the gravel and clog up the line instead of like they showed in the ads where the gravel will be sucked up half way and only the dirt will be siphoned off and the gravel fall back down. Mine...

CaptainAhab thanks. I got the idea and may try it. However right now I think my UGF is overloaded with bio matter as well as the gravels. This is due to overfeeding while my angel spawn and trying to feed the fry every 2 hours. I will break it down and clean it thoroughly this time...

I think the idea of a UGF is supposed to allow the gravel to be the filter media so theoretically most debris should be trapped between the gravel and not in the skinny space below the UGF? However after some period of time, that space gets filled with junk, as evidence by the fact that if you...

Do they go together at all? I think sand will fall through the sleeves on the UGF, but is there any harm in that?

I have a 29 gallon and two 10 gallon tanks currently and all using UGF. I know, I know UGF is no good but it came with the tank and that's what I have been using and dealing with all along. I have gravel above them and I can see the yucky junk collected in the gravel, and whenever I adjust the...

I do have a 10 gallon tank they can go in, but it's not empty. It has 12 neon tetras and 2 rummy nose tetra and 2 guppies. Will they co-exist fine? I think they are now too big for the tetra's mouths, but I am not sure if they will survive if the tetras peck at them.

will the parent eat the fry? they were guarding them but will they eventually see them as food?

The other problem is for some reason the fry don't grow at the same rate. I have some fry that are twice as big as the rest. I never thought there would be such a size difference. As I said, because of the fry I have stopped the filter otherwise they would be sucked into the filter intake...

I had a pair of angel fish that spawned in a community tank. First spawn ever and they ate the eggs, all of them. So I decided to move both of them into a 29 gallon tank, all by themselves, to give them the peace and quiet they need. This tank had other fish in them but I moved them to the...

now the babies are two weeks old and size is about 4 or 5 mm (or about 1/4") from tip to tip. I am still feeding them SERA micron. When is a good time to switch to other food? Can they eat ground up flakes yet?

Thanks, I will try the lettuce / cucumber combination first and see how that goes.

I have a community tank that is fully planted and it must be some of the plants I bought now I have snails all over, small dark brown ones. I pick about 20 of them each day off the glass but if I turn off the lights and turn it back on I will see hundreds of them. How can I get rid of them...

also my tank is getting very yucky. The parents are guarding the babies. I have been feeding the SERA MICRON and it's powder so it's clouding the water, and I turned the filter off otherwise the fry would be sucked into them. I changed water once yesterday and today it's cloudy again.

I am trying...but the parent angels are very aggressive. I sprinkled some of the powered SERA MICRON in one corner where the fry are, and many of them came up to feed. The moma angel somehow thinks this is a threat, so she zooms up to the surface to try to break up the crowd and made a splash...

My angelfish spawn twice. First time they ate their eggs, second time a success, after about a little more than a week, all the fish are now swimming free and stayed in a corner of the tank. Here are some pics, mom is white, dad is the one with the long fins and stripes. I probably...
