Anyone know how to get rid of hardwater stains from aquarium? Tried lemon juice and vinegar, and also scrubbed. Nothing works. Please help, thanks

I got a question about water change'chlorine. I have fish in my tank. If a water is connected directly to your tap to allow easy water changes, then how do you get rid of the chlorine from the water? Can I add the dechlorinator to the tank with fishes first, then add the water after?

1. I didnt use a heater 2. I will take some pics and upload soon

After I do the water change the day before I add fish, do I put ammo in? Or would the bacteria be ok for that day?

Trust me, it was fun for me. I enjoyed every day of it. And I now understand how the process works and have better appreciation for everything. You have been a great help eco

So my 55g tank is now cycled (excited but I will miss the cycling/testing process). My question is, do I do the big water change now if I plan to add fish a week from now? Or do I just continue to dose ammo until then? Also, what should the time frame be between dosing ammo and adding the fish?

Makes sense thanks

I normally re-dose ammo to 1-2 ppm is that too little?

1. My PH dropped from 7.6 to between 7.0 - 7.2 in my fishless cycle. Should I be worried about this? If so what should I do to fix it? 2. Also my always ammo goes from 2.0 down to 0.25 in 24 hours everyday for about a week now, but it never goes down to 0. Is this normal? Should I let it go...

Hello helpful people. I have been seeing rapid drops of ammonia level after a week and 2 days of fishless cycling (tank seeded with old gravel). My question is, is ammonia supposed to drop so soon after I add it, or am I not adding enough? When I add a decent amount of ammonia and test after 2...

I got a quick question. I have a 55gallon tank. How long should I wait after I dose ammonia, to do an ammonia test?

Fishless Cycline ok thx a lot. If I add filter media from a cycled tank would that help? would I still need to do water change?

Fishless Cycline Are you absolutely sure? Cause I see others say its fine, and some say dont do PWC while cycling. I just want to he sure.

Ok so I'm a week into cycling my 55g tank. At the moment I got 160ppm NITRATE, 1ppm AMMONIA, 5ppm NITRITE. Where should I go from here? I noticed that the ammonia levels come down pretty fast. Should I add more now?

Compatibility When my 55 gallon tank is cycled I want to add: 4 clown loaches 2 flame gourami 2 dwarf gourami 1 red tail shark 1 pleco 6 cardinal tetras 1. Are these compatible? 2. Can anyone recommend other colorful fish to add?

Ammonia Poisoning gotcha jet but can you give me some info of the signs of ammonia poisoning?

Question Would it be good they to buy smaller fish (in terms of age) because they have most likely been introduced to a cycled tank versus a fish thats been alive and possible been introduced to a new tank in the beginning? My thing is I dont want to buy fish with burnt out gills from new tank...

How do we know if the fish we put into our healthy fishless cycled tank are even healthy? After all we dont know if the pet store or their suppliers fishless cycled their tanks?

If the fishless cycle is to prevent the fishe from being permanently damaged, then my question is, when we go out to buy fish from the pet store, how do we know if THEY fishless cycled their tank so that THEIR fish are not sick? Furthermore, how do we/they know if their supplier fishless cycled...

Your tank Thx for the welcome guys. Wow melosu58, you tank is a live salt water tank right? I absolutely loooooove it. I prefer corals, in my case, artificial, than so much plants.

I am a HUGE aquarium addict. I just got a 55 gallon long aquarium and set it up 3 days ago. I had a 29 gallon before and did the cycle with fish. It worked out pretty well and I only lost one fish. I however now trying the fishless cycle, which I hope to do from now on. I am here to learn about...
