I have a 20 gal tank with a ph of 7.4 and my water is hard but I'm not sure how hard...it leaves calcium deposits on filters. I have been told no type of ram will live for too long with these water conditions however someone else who is an expert said I could do it. What do I believe?? Sent...

They are still alive. I guess I will wait and see how well they do.. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

So I recently had a ten gal tank appear to be cycled. I was adding fish food ammonia and the pare enters read 0 eventually for nitrites. The tank had been cycling over a month. I switched everything over to a new 20 gal tank, same water, rocks, filter etc. I didn't clean anything so the...

I have the otos already!! ?? I figured they would be good to add now.....oh well....hopefully the live. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

So pretty sure I made up my mind im adding a school of neons, one male ram, some panda Corys if I can find them otherwise just reg corys, and then two little otocinculus. Idk if I could fit much else in that tank but those fishes mentioned will look great I think. Sent from my iPad using...

How are the blue Rams doing in that and where did you get that background? I've been looking for it for my 20 gal high! Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I have a new 20 gal high tank. No real plants and it has 40 gals of filtration on it. What are some great stocking ideas?! I am def adding corydoras to this tank. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Excellent idea!! Would you need a fine catch sponge for finer particles to keep water clear though? Currently I have two sponges and biomax in my aquaclear filter. It came with carbon too but I don't use that. When my sponges get torn up could I just replace them with one of these and nothing...

Do those little sponges leach out chemicals though or dyes? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

It looked interesting. It's customizable and supposedly more healthy for fish. I figured if they get too fat in can be a treat if anything. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

My new filter is an aquaclear and it has new biomedia in it as well as old so there is some bacteria in it but not a lot obviously. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Should I do a 25% water change and add more ammonia? Or not do any water changes? I did change my filter Last night so that is Prob some of the reason why my nitrites are there. I can borrow some more filter media or dirty decorations from a friend tommorow too Sent from my iPad using Aquarium...

Tested my tank again tonight. It has been almost 24 hours. About an hour off. I now get nitrate same- 40 Nitrite .5-1.0 Hardness 150 And chlorine 0 Alkalinity 40 and ph 6.8 I guess my tank isn't quite cycled yet. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I love those little panda Corys. They are adorable! I am planning on getting some. My tank isn't actually stocked yet. I am cycling it and figuring out what I want to stock it with. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Can I feed tropical small fish like neon tetras..mollies, corydoras. Chiclid pellets if I crush them? Those foods seem to have color enhancers and a mix of protein plus vegetable matter. I also am going to make diy gel food with gelatin and fresh ingredients. I've been watching you tube videos...

So which also means zero nitrites...the con about those test strips is they don't test ammonia, just nitrates, nitrites, hardness, ph, chlorine and alkalinity . Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I got my new aquaclear filter last night and set it up. I also did purchase the new tetra test strips instead. I will get the master kit once the strips are gone. I did a water test and it showed my nitrite levels to be at .05 and nitrate at 40 ppm. Ph was also a bit high. I added some fish food...

I have a used ( previously established) ten gal tank. And i have it running with a whisper pf10 power filter. I think I made the mistake of borrowing someone's used filter cartridge to add bacteria to my tank, however I never added ammonia to feed the bacteria. I am not sure if I killed my...
