The tank finally cycled after 70 days! Wow that was a long time. Nitrites didn't show up until 50+ days. Now I feel much better

Hey guys, was just looking for some advice on what options I have for algae eating species for my 60 gallon. It is a semi-aggressive/peaceful community in that there are juvenile semi-aggressive species mixed with some peaceful fish. It has only been established for 3 Months and I am now...

Liquid testing only. Over day 50 now, water has gotten cloudy so hopefully that's a sign that a bacteria bloom is going on!

Hey guys. I've had a 10 Gallon set up for over 40 days with ammonia over 2ppm for at least 40 of those days (mostly hovering in the 2-4ppm) with 2 internal filters (cheap ones from petsmart). Ran it with fish for 30 days and took them out over a week ago. Stopped water changes after I took...

It has been done every 6 days and had 2 changes before the live bearers came. So total of 6 changes during the life of the tank. The PH lowered after the first 3 changes and has been low PH for the last 3 changes

The quarantine tank is not fishless cycling. It is cycling with livebearers.

thanks for the replies! I checked the nitrites in the quarantine tank and it's 0 so maybe it's still going through the start of it's cycle still. The livebearers in there are totally fine with the difference when I moved them from the main tank but it's probably because they are hardy. I will...

Hey Guys! Just had a question maybe some of you could shed some light on. I've had a Quarantine Tank set up for past 3 weeks and it seems to keep having a different PH level than my Display Tank. I use the liquid tester to determine the levels. The PH levels in the tanks are very...

ok guys, my fish are now showing no signs of which is great after only 5 days of treatment. So I'm thinking now that the Ick has fallen off them and now in the next phase or the free swimming phase. Hopefully the heat and salt conditions are enough to kill them. I'm dying to do a water...

Over the last 24 hours I have raised the temp to 84F, fish seem ok. Lost one Denison overnight though, but strangely it did not have any Ick spots so perhaps it was just a dud. I have 3/4 of the salt in there and will be adding the last quarter in 6 hours. I hope this can start treating the...

Hey Y'all. Long time reader, first time aquarist. Anyways, I have my first case of Ick to treat, and even though I've read up on it a lot, I thought I'd ask you guys directly what I should do in my particular case. Let me tell you the plan and then let me know what you think. Tank Info: -...
