I just looked that up and it does sound about right. Sounds like it spreads easily also. Hopefully the rest of the fish dont get it. Any recommendations on possible treatments

One of my rams got a white spot on his head recently. I moved him to a quarantine tank that i set up with water and media from the main tank so I could watch him and the next day he also got ich also. Poor guy does not look happy. Any help on what the white spot on his head is and possible...

Well since I havent gotten any yes or no answers I set up my quarantine tank with filter media and water from my main tank tested the water then threw in a stack of slate. If the ph changes over the next week I'll have my answer

Can't really help you much with the aggression issue other then to say bettas and angelfish are know to not get along a lot of the time. You could try rearranging your tank so your fish have to reclaim territories it may or may not help. If it doesn't help and after a few days you still have...

I know another slate post. I did search and search and search so more and everyone seems to agree slate is safe in an aquarium bit the only slate I can seem to find anywhere is multicolored. Ive gone to like 6 diffrent places, homedepot, lowes, tile stores none have had just grey slate. I also...

Thanks for the replies. I'll research the fert tabs and the plants mentioned.

This is my first attempt with live plants. The 1st pic shows the only live plants around the statue. There are supposed to be cryptocoryne wendtii. They look like they are in rough shape right now. They looked better 3 days ago when I first got them. I've read that they tend to "melt" when...

I remembered where it was. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f20/fully-automated-aquarium-ideas-help-225317.html Just to give you an idea of so of the stuff you could do with something like that if you had the time. I dont think I could pull off what he did but it pretty cool.

Ya it has tons of techy stuff but if it overall it seems pretty simple to build and they work out the programing bugs for you if you find one so really its just putting it together correctly. I like the idea of it and one of the guys even added a temperature readout to it. Theres someone on here...

There is a diy option to totally control that light automatically and have it cycle through a normal day/night cycle. Its on another forum Guide: Arduino based LED controller for Current Satellite LED+ I haven't tried it yet but plan to. It is a standalone thing also, no modifications to the...

Canister filters aren't necessarily better then HOB (hang on back) filters. They both get the job done. Maintenance on a HOB is probably easier then a canister since you don't have to unhook it on take it apart to clean it. Canisters give you more options on where to put your intake and returns...

Dont have a g3 so not sure what it could be. I'd start from step 1 and do everything again double checking as I went. Make sure you didnt accidently miss something.

Thanks. The rena looks interesting seems to have mixed reviews. I don't know if it would work with how my intake is setup. Does it have to be in the tank on the intake to work correctly? Or could it be put inline in the tank stand like the hydor? I'm surprised there aren't more options for...

I was looking at getting a heater for my tank since it is going to start cooling down outside soon and was thinking of an inline heater. After a google search all I could find was hydor inline heaters. Are they really the only ones making them? Or am I blind and missed something? They seem to...

My ph is 7.8-8 from the tap. The tank has always tested the same and stayed 7.8. My understand from what I've seen on other posts is as long as your close to the recommended ph your ok the majority of the time. My friend has a 6' tank, not sure how many gallons but more then mine, once stuff...

Ya I know the balas get big. Ive already got a new home setup to move them to when they out grow my tank. Same with the loaches. I'll probably leave this tank how it is now and setup the 55g that I'm getting for cichlids. That gives me an excuse to get another bigger tank if I need a tank for...

When to 2 lfs that only do fish and a local petsmart that is surprisingly better then all the other stores around that I've gone to. Aso far ive ended up getting all my fish there as they've seemed the cleanest and healthiest and no problems yet. Ended up getting 4 Bolivian Ram*Cichlids...

I've read jack demseys can be pretty territorial and aggressive but I'll look into them again and the others you both mentioned. On the plus side my brother is giving me a 55 gallon tank next month when he comes out so I could always find something else for this tank and do a cichlids only tank...

Thanks for the replys. The tank is cycled. Did a fishless cycle following all the directions I found on here. The clowns and corys have been in the tank almost a month the balas about 2 weeks and the pleco 1 week. Been testing the water everyday just to make sure and doing PWC twice a week...

An acrylic or plexiglass sheet cut to size with hundreds of holes drilled in it with some sort of diy thing using suction cups to hold it in place? You might be able to cut little notches in the plexiglass that fit in the round part on aquarium suction cups where the little arm the attaches to a...

Just looked and saw you found it already. Good luck. If you get it up and running maybe post up a how to thread so I can copy it. :angel:

I think the fluval G series canister filters has a lot of the monitoring you looking for built into it so maybe check that out. Also I happened onto a thread a few days ago after the guy who started it posted a reply to a question I asked and he has a setup that is pretty much what your asking...

Unless I'm picturing something totally diffrent I can't imagine they would both be abke to be put on the one ballast. Hard to say what to do without seeing it or being able to look it up. I'd hate to tell you to try it one way and end up frying your lights
