So, It's day 7 of my cycling quest. My pH jumped up rather high, and I was wondering if that would stall cycling? 12/25: pH was at 7.8 12/27: pH was at 7.8 12/28: Gravel added. pH jumped to 8.2 12/31: pH is at 8.4 Should I worry about it? Or should I just do pwc's to lower it? I don't want to...

Got these on sale today. Can anyone ID them for me? :)

I figured since this is the first tank I've started where I semi knew what I was doing, I'd keep track of it here. SO :D My Husband got me a 29gal (Not a 55, but I'm glad because now I see that we barely have room for the 29.) It came with a 100watt heater, a Top Fin 30 filter (Is this good...

I was surprised it cycled so quickly! (No babies were hurt in the set up of this aquarium. That's their big sister observing them :3) And there's their momma. :3 Santa was too kind this year.

So! My Husband gave me one of my presents early due to my 5g having a huge algae problem... I FINALLY got the master Test Kit, but I'm a little confused by it. Do you only use the high range pH test when your regular pH test is off the charts? Temp: 79.8 Ph: Was waaay darker blue than the...

So, I have reason to believe that "Santa" is bringing me a brand new 55gallon for Christmas this year. My question is: How do I take media from my established 5gal and use it to cycle the new tank? Right now I just have a spare filter cartridge floating around in the 5 gal. Is this going to...

I ask too many questions, I'm sure :x 78 degrees Ph-7.5 Nitrites-0 Nitrates-20 Alkalinity-10.4 Gh-10.1 Ammonia-0

Hey! Some of you may remember me. I currently have a 5 gallon which i thought was a ten and am about to purchase a new tank so my platies Are happy. I can't decide between a 29 and a 55. I found a 55 for 45$ on Craigslist which seems like a good deal. I just wonder about the upkeep and if it...

Hi! It's me again....so my husband got me this DG without me knowing about a fishless cycle. We had a tiger barb, but he managed to exchange it for three platies. (I know, I know. I told him to just leave it as the DG.) Tanks been going since thursday, with 2 25% changes and one 10% change just...

Eek! So I'm new (and cannot seem to find the intro thread...so I shall skip it.) I've been bugging my husband for months for an aquarium and he finally buckled and got me a nice little ten gallon. I've always been obsessed with fish and had never heard of cycling (>_< Lame, right?) and went...
