Pictures Update: PH - 7.4 NO3 - 0 Ammonia - 0 NO2 - 0 KH - 7.8 Temp - 86 degress The frozen blood worms worked! They attacked those worms, it was a relief to see them finally eat. They still look really bad though, my blue diamon was really bright and blue when I got him, he has turned so...

Thanks bs6749!!! Ya I'll probably get new heaters, big al's deals are so far the best that I've seen. Also I'll definately get a new thermostat later at the LFS. I appreciate the help guys, when I get home I'll try to post some pix.:-D

Sorry for any confusion. My heaters only go up to 86, which I have it on atm. The thing is my thermometer reads 3 temperatures. When I check it last night it was 82 86 90, with 86 being the brightest of the three readings. That is why I said about 86, not sure if I could say 90 because if it was...

Ok just tested the water here is the result: PH - 7.6 NO3 - 0 Ammonia - 0 NO2 - 0 KH - 7.8 Temp - 86 degress I noticed more movement with the discus. They are actually swimming around my tank now. Since Friday, all they did was stay by the anubias in the corner of the tank. Good right...

Well I got home and found 1 dead discus, it was my white diamond....cry. I just finished with a 50% wc, added some water conditioner and upped the temp to 86 degrees. I guess all I can do now is wait it out. My discus don't seem to be improving. I don't know what else to do. Well I'll keep...

Hey Zagz, Appreciate the reply. I'm thinking the fish where not properly dewormed because we picked them up immediately when they arrived at the wholesaler...probably a bad move, but we were all so anxious about getting our discus. I am worried that it could also be other diseases involved...

Thanks for your reply bd6749. I have about 6 discus that are about 5" long and 2 that are about 2-3" long. 4 of them where my friends and he had them placed in other friends homes. The other four that I have where from taiwan. I got them from a discus wholesaler, the blue diamond with the...

Hello everyone, i got 8 discus about 2 weeks ago. The first week that they were in my tank, all seemed well. the fish seemed fine but they where not eating. Then just this last friday, I did a 10% water change and added API stress coat. Immediately after the wc, my discus did not look good...

I want to raise discus, my brother in law has been raising for quite some time now, and is giving up his for an aworanna. So I'll be taking over the discuss.

I've read where if the waterflow is too much, the uv sterilizer is useless. The pump that I have is recommended for up to 80g tank, that would mean I would have to go lower then that? Would that be good for the tank?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone out here could let me know if what I'm doing is correct. I recently bought the Corallife TurboTwist 12x 36 watt uv sterilizer. Reason for buying this is that I plan to put some diamond blue discuss in the next week. I installed my sterilizer yesterday and...

Hmm this one looks great, and it would cover my tank completely! With that price though, would need to consult with the finance manager (wife...o no!)....thx speed!

Thanks guys, The Solaris looks great, I'll probably be getting that one. Appreciate the help!

Hey thanks, well I dont like my 48" right now because the sides of my tank are being covered with light, do you think this one will? Also I have a question regarding the blue actinic, are these lights useful when it comes to planted tank? I hear thier only good for reef, but then again I dont...

Hi Everyone! I have a question regarding what type of light to get for my 130g tank. My tank has the following plants: Dwarf Hairgrass Hemainthus Callitrichoides Limnophila aromatica hippuroides Ludwigia repens Mermaid Weeds And I have about 12 Blue Diamond Discus Right now I'm using a...

Awesome, I've been actually planning this for some time now. Once I get the 30gallon, I'll post pix of what I did. Thanks guys!:)

Thanks, the wet/dry is going to be about 1ft higher then the refugium. You think that's high enough?

That is such a beautiful job!!!! Very inspiring! Out of curiosity though, how much weight can something like that support?

Hi all! I need some advise with my DIY refugium. I am planning to make a 30g refugium for my 130g tank. I also what to incorporate my 10g wet/dry into the mix. I've come up with a diagram of how I'm planning to build this thing. I think it pretty simple but I'd rather get some expert...

Thanks man, I running on a wet/dry right now but want to convert it into a refugium, from what I read, I think it was greatly improve my tank. I wanted to keep the wet/dry in use, anyhow awesome diy you have there posted.

Hey Jimonthy, thats great stuff, I was just wondering, if I had a 135g tank, how big of a refugium/sump would i need? Also would it make any sense to have the overflow going into a wet/dry and then having water pumped form that to the refugium? I was wondering if having the bioballs would...

Thanks for the replies, the pet store by my house can order them. Thats awesome!

Hello everyone, I am very interested in buying some amano shrimps for my planted tank. I live in Los Angeles and can't seem to find anywhere that sells it. If anyone knows of a place where I can buy in Los Angeles, please let me know. Or if anyone know a reputable company online that I can get...
