Haha, yes, only replacing what was taken out. 1 scoop per gallon removed.

To add to this, it seems to be working as the white spots aren't on the fish anymore but I want to make sure I don't overly stress the fish by adding more salt than needed.

Thanks Eco, awesome looking tank, BTW.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the light cost you and who makes it?

Hello everyone, Yet another question. I'm treating ich using the heat and salt method. I started last Wednesday, 5 days ago, increased temp to 86 degrees and added 1 teaspoon of salt per gallon of water to the tank. I've been doing 10% daily water changes re-adding the salt I took out. My...

Thanks fishguy. Another week treating the ich and then the tank gets a makeover! Humm, maybe I should make a new stand before I do all this...

I've been thinking about plants but I was wondering if I needed to have dirt. I'd rather just have sand, do plants do ok with just sand?

Good news, I finally got my nitrates down to a normal level. Thanks to ich! The daily water changes sure get water quality up. Now I just need to get the diseases done with. Got ich, lost a neon to NTD, another one looks like he also got NTD ( in QT now ). Rough times lately.

Thanks oneil None of the dead fish were old. I've had this tank for about 8years. I recently moved and brought all the water with me and kept the rocks and substrate wet in bags. I had 4 fish which moved with the tank. 1 died during the move. Since the move, I bought the new fish which are...

Yes, I know about the cycle, I've had this tank for ever. I just recently added some fish and they're all dying.

Thanks MFD, What about a QT for bringing home new fish and possibly plants?

Adam, No I never did any PWC's before but I started reading AA when I got the new fish and have been trying to get the nitrates down since...

I've not found it if this has already been done but what would you recommend to someone to have a QT? A 10 gallon with biowheel and lighting? A tupperware tub? How often do you change the water? Does it matter if you have it cycled? I'm researching how to best set up a QT, economically and...

All the dead fish came from same store but it seems they all died from multiple diseases and that's why I don't know what to do. What's left seems healthy so far and I'm tempted to just wait and see but on the other hand, I want to stop this cycle of coming home to a new dead fish.

My fish are dying and I'm not sure what to do. 75G FWFO - no plants ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates 60ppm I've been doing PWC every 2-3 days to get Nitrates down. This is an old tank which has had high nitrates but the fish are new. About a month ago, I bought some neons, 2 angels, 2 glofish...

Wow, the black background make a huge improvement. Looks awesome!

I'll back off the water changes and do it every 2-3 days until I can get it down. I'll also be working on swapping my 360 media into the xp4 this evening. Thanks for the help, I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Yes, the marineland foam is a rounded square, if that makes any sense.

Here's pics of tank and red fishies

Can I just move the plastic balls and ceramics or do I also need the foam?

Uhh yeah, xp4 Rena. Any idea how long I should run both filters before I can switch to the xp4?

We just moved the tank and fish about a month ago to our new house. I had 5 fish before moving but lost 2 in the process so I added 5 new fish. So the majority of the fish are not used to this high nitrate environment.

I have a marineland c360 and I just got an FX4 today. I'm running both now hoping to cycle the FX4 to replace the 360. The gaskets are leaking in the 360 and everyone is backordered so I'm working on plan B.

I am using an API master test kit ( learned this here ). I tested the tap water for nitrates yesterday and it showed 0ppm. I have not yet tested for ammonia. I have had the tank for 8+ years and unfortunately was one of those guys who didn't do PWC. I am trying to correct my ways but I just...

Hello everyone! I'm new here but already learned a lot from this place. I am having an issue with my well established tank concerning nitrates. My levels are off the chart even after doing PWC for 4 days in a row. I have a 75g with 9 small fish. Ammonia registers at . 25 Nitrites are 0...
