Caught it maybe 15 min after. Fish alive in bucket with clean water. Tank is wrecked. Besides 100% water and a scrub what should I do?

Watts per gallon is an outdated rule of thumb. I have nearly 4 watts per gallon on my tank but PAR rating is what matters. It's a measure of light intensity and various depths of water. Unfortunately you won't find any lights that use PAR is a rating. Two 96 watt quad T5H0 lights can have...

55 That's what I was leaning toward. Just picked up some Maracyn Two. About to start 5 days of treatment.

Got up to pee and decided to check on my fish. It seems things are getting worse and now it's spread to my black moor. Also, the fin rot/deterioration seems to be much worse now. BTW that's the oranda in the back of the 2nd pic. He's not swimming, just kinda sitting in the plant not...

Tank has been set up for nearly a year. Ammonia is 0.

Just checked parameter. Everything is good but pH. It's around 8.0. BR tap water is 8.2 so a water change won't help. I'm thinking of running some co2 into the tank to drop it. I don't know what else to do.

This is all he is doing. He just ate a few pellets but now he's only sitting on the bottom.

And it's spending a lot of time at the bottom of the tank. Almost like he's sleeping. Something is def wrong.

Petsmart here. The employees are nicer and more knowledgeable and they sell more live plants than Petco. Fish prices are cheaper but supplies seem to be about the same price. I only go to Petco to get background solution because Petsmart doesn't carry it.

20130731_184337.mp4 - YouTube At the end of the video I said tablespoon but meant teaspoons. As for how long the mixture will last, I expect it to be about 3 or 4 days. With my drop checker turning near yellow though I may back down to 1 teaspoon. It's what I had been using and it was...

Refilled DIY CO2 9/31/13 - YouTube Update vid uploading now. Here is the drop checker as of 5 min ago. I know it looks green but it's already gone from blue to dark green and is on it's way to yellow now.

So I wanted to share. It's 8 feet long so it's great for larger fish like fancies and koi. I may use one when I move out of my apartment for a brim and blue cat tank. Stock Tank, Water Tank, Galvanized Stock Tank | Agri Supply, 29074, Stock Tanks

I don't know where you got your DIY info from OP. Put 2 cups of raw cane sugar and 1 tsp of yeast with 1 tsp baking soda in a 2 liter bottle, fill with lukewarm water, and shake til dissolved. CO2 should be going crazy in an hour or so. What you are using for a diffuser matters too. Some...

I moved my powerhead to the other side of the tank where it wouldn't be as noticable. It's still visible but blends a bit with the intake tube of my HOB. And that's the new plant I got yesterday. I have to start the BBQ pit but I'll check the name of the plant in a bit.

Almost a year maybe.

Again, I think people overestimate the 'stress' their fish go through as though they suffer from emotional stress. In a year I've had 30 fish in various tanks under various conditions and I have yet to lose a fish to anything other than being eaten by another fish. I'd like to see some...

Not for 2 of them. With my water quality and other people putting 20 in 125 gallons I'm sure I'd be fine. I think people often underestimate how much stock they can hold. I bet with how well I take care of my tanks I could put 10 fancies in 55 gallons. Or 30 tetras in 10 gallons. As long as...

I know it's long. 7/27/13 Update on all 3 tanks. - YouTube

Daughter actually. It'll get a Patrick and Squidward soon. Here it is all cleared up.

It's still cloudy. I just put the sand in today and it never seems to rinse well enough. I put my neon tetras and the Top Fin 20 from my planted tank on it. Parameters were 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and almost 0 nitrate. pH was 8.0 which concerned me a bit but apparently the fish are adaptable...

That fixture with those bulbs has been measured from around 80 - 150 par depending on water depth. I'm on my phone now but I'll post the graph when I get home.
