ok this is going to be quite tough to explain but i'll give it a shot this reactor is a spiral structured reactor where CO2 is entered in the middle chamber onto the top of the spiral. There it gets aired out by the powerhead. My problem is that after awhile, i don't see the bubbles spiral...

just like many people, my guppies die often after about a month of purchase. It's as if the fish store injected some disease that'll kill it in a certain amount of time just to get more of your money. my tank is a 50 gallon heavily planted tank with 7.0 ph. 0 ammonia. 10ppm nitrates 3KH...

i've been wanting to make a tank to breed cherry red shrimps, but i have too many tanks running. Is it possible for them to breed if i place about 6 of them in a breeder's net of my planted tank?
