Not exactly the same, but I added SafeStart to my tank Saturday and the ammonia was pretty much cycled by Sunday morning. I wish I had done it a month ago, but I thought it would be cycled on its own by now. The nitrites […]
I hope you didn’t mess up. There was no need to add ammonia first. If anything, you should have added the Dr. Tim’s first, then started dosing ammonia.. or just added fish.. since that is the purpose of the product.
I guess it should still work if the backwards plan of adding the ammonia […]
Well, today I added 4 parts per million ammonia to a 12 gal. tank. Then I added Dr. Tim’s one and only to the tank and filter.
Tomorrow mourning I plan to test the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates to see if I have a fully cycled tank or not.
Has anyone else done this? I […]
ThanksLenny. Webcamxp has a free version that requires the logo you see in the bottom corner. I happen to own a domain and a website, which i used the domain and added the fish cam to that. It runs off my local home computer where everything you see is served from. you could set it […]
I am not familiar with the Filter system you mention, but, beside the iron it pulls out, it may be reducing the amount of calcium in the water. This, plus an abundance of CO2 in the water may account for the 6.8 pH at the start, and the higher pH as the water outgases the […]
Thanks guys!
I dont have any PH problem in my tanks but I wanted to know if the higher ph values where something that I did or was it a fluke that I got the brackish tank in the area that I wanted.
My Ph at the tap is 6.8 24 hours its between 6.8-7.0. […]
Unless you are teetering on the edge of having enough oxygen in the tank to support the fish, which, from the video’s I saw you are not, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, live plants will take in O2 at night and release CO2 in turn, it is not normally enough to upset the […]
Over the years, I have only had one problem with a Dell tech. The guy would not listen to me and treated me like I was some kind of a dummy, making me repeat all the stuff I had already done and told him about. What I did was to pretend I was running […]
I skipped over DebR’s question earlier this morning (what the heck am I doing getting up at 4 AM when I can sleep late?). Algae is a primitive plant, probably the most primitive we are likely to see up close and personal. It is often the first plant to grow in aquaria, even if we […]
Hey Ray, my husband is a bit of a computer tech (he fixes my computers when I break them, LOL). You might find that when you do get a new computer that windows xp won’t be too bad of an upgrade for your operating system. I was a long time windows xp […]
