    Algae

    Thanks for posting! In addition to the above, after the soak in fresh water, make sure to dry the plants out fully. This will allow the remainder bleach, if any, to evaporate. Thanks

    New Tank Project

    Got it so you are overstocking this one? I LOVE ghost shrimp! They are an amazing invert! Have you thought about using Cherry Shirmp? you can see those a bit more. Dwarf Frogs are cool as well, just don't like frogs. I would use this stocking: Your betta 5 or so of the Shrimp 1-3 Small...

    Swordfish 200 filter, do you recommend it ?

    Thanks for posting! I looked up this filter on the webs, does this one have a UV filter? In addition, is this the only filter you are using for a 22 gallon tank? I personally never used this filter but if this is your only filter, I would recommend running another filter. I would assume this...

    Help Sick Fishy

    Thanks for posting! Is the 4th fish at the service opening and closing it's mouth? Are there any 'cotton' like substances anywhere on the fish? How are your water levels? I would say treat with some sort of aloe treatment, mostly found in chlorine treatments. This will give that supposed...

    Possible water for water change?

    If you filter the water you are fine. When I make my fish room I will use this method and just filter out the impurities.

    Resealed Tank!

    Yah this stuff didn't, but I just water tested it and then tried to rub it off, it came right off the glass. Whenever I have time, ill just go and get some silicone and redo it. Resealing takes forever!

    Resealed Tank!

    Hey guys! So I just resealed this retro 10 gallon. I call it retro because it has chrome edges because it is old. Anyway, I used acrylic with silicone that is white. Is this stuff okay to use for the seal? I am not worried about the toxins leaching out because I will be having the water sit...

    My Water is Killing My Fish :(

    I would agree, you can't use just RO strickly. You need to add minerals back into your water or your fish will be worse off. The ammonia in the tank isn't bad and the BB will in fact consume it.

    I have done and am currently doing it because my dorm room doesn't connect to the faucet. It's a real pain. I vacuum all the tanks I have. Then take the vacuum and shove it on the faucet to direct the water in the bucket. After getting the right temperature in the buckets I add stress coat...
