    Petsmart will carry it if you have one near by... or you can go to the Seachem website there they have a locator that will tell you if there are any LFS in the area that are dealers. They usually dont list Petsmart as a dealer I guess because they are a chain store, but I know they have it...

    Lol... its like I said before we all went through this before we learned from our mistakes. I used to just blame all my new fish dying on Wal-Mart's (where I would sometimes get my fish) poor aquarium care and maintenance. But there isn't a single person that could or would take the time to...

    Happy to hear your guys are still kicking... or swimming rather :) Yes you would want to do your water change first. Add the Prime in the new water before you place it in the tank. Then after the tank is clean and full add the Stability. Your fish will be perfectly fine through the whole process...

    I agree with you that bottled bacteria isn't always the best product I've had problems with other brands myself thats why I recommended the Stability I know by experience that it works. I also know that Prime will only detox the ammonia but that is why it is important to use Stability and Prime...

    Hey, we all started this hobby the same way. Its ok. I had 3 different 10 gal setups before I even heard of cycling. And didnt fully understand cycling till I started my first reef tank. You did really start your cycle with too many fish. When cycling starting slow is the key. But if you can...

    how many fish do you have in the tank it's possible that the waste levels have not increased your ammonia enough for the beneficial bacteria to start to grow and convert the ammonia into nitrate. It usually takes a few weeks for the bacteria to grow in the tank. You can purchase products at...

    Ammonia is very toxic to fish that is the whole point of a cycled tank. Waste in the tank breaks down into ammonia as the ammonia level rises beneficial bacteria takes the ammonia and converts it into nitrate and nitrite which is less toxic to your fish and much easier to control with water changes

    Depends on the type of filter you have. I am assuming you have a standard hang on the back filter, if this is the case simply rinse it using clean declorinated water about once every couple of weeks and it will last a while when you notice the fibers starting to wear thin, then replace the...

    With a little research there are plenty of diy traps for these guys or you can buy a bristle worm trap at your local LFS. they arent dangerous but they can damage some corals but if your just doing a fish only live rock aquarium they wont be too much of a problem

    Glofish are not live injected fish, they are the product of bio engineering, the embryos of such fish as tetras, danios, or barbs have been spliced with the dna of jelly fish to give them their glow in the dark qualities. This process is completely painless to the embryo and in no way inhumane...
