    Aquaclear 30 issues

    It's been quite a long time since I've posted! A few weeks ago I was doing a pwc on my 20g, unplugged my filter as I always do before a water change, and went along with my usual routine. I pulled a few pots out because I wanted to move them to my 50g but that is the only thing I did that was...

    *URGENT* Help!

    Just dropped my test tube from my API test kit in my 20g. It had 10 drops of Nitrate #1 and 10 drops of Nitrate #2 in it, is it going to effect my fish? They were already acting weird as it was.

    Black Diamond Blasting Sand

    I purchased some blasting sand from Tractor Supply Company for my new 50g. I am currently in the process of washing it and it seems the water will never come clear. Do I get it as clear as I can and put it in the tank and allow it to settle? Or do I wash it until the water comes out clear...

    Krib Breeding Question

    I am planning the stock for my 40 breeder and I really want to get a Albino Krib but I love the coloration of normal Kribs too, I imagine the Albino would breed with the 'normal' Krib but I just want to double check. I also would like to know how to gender both types of Kribs. :thanks:

    Melafix Question

    I had to take my QT down because the filter broke, I was going to move my GBR with a Ulcer/Tumor/Abscess to it and set it back up but the new filter won't fit in it and its almost impossible to dose a 2 gal with meds. I'm sure I can figure out something if I shouldn't but can I treat the whole...

I was really busy today and just went over to feed them and noticed it turned into a big abscess tumor like thing. It's right under her eye to a little bit away from her mouth. I took pictures and I...

    Red Tailed Shark and Molly in 2.5g

    So I bought my niece a 2.5 gallon tank for her birthday. She was supposed to take 2 of my Mickey Mouse Platy babies and put them in it. My Brother called me from the petstore to ask what they could get. I told him to buy her a Platy or a Guppy but not a Molly because they get too big. What does...

    Sick Serpae

    I had a sick serpae and I am not quite sure what was wrong with him. He was literally losing chunks of his fins and he had a large white abscess on his side.

    Tetrafauna Decorative ReptoFilter

    I want to get a Tetrafauna Decorative ReptoFilter but I have no idea if it works. Anyone have any experience with them?? I would be putting it in a 40g turtle tank. I really don't want to buy a $150 canister filter and that so I would just go with one.
