I noticed awhile back that DFS has a contraption that hooks up to the back/side of the tank and will let out hatched brine shrimp periodically without adding any salt water to the tank, has anyone used this reliably? I considered getting one, but I’ve also seen home made hatcheries online […]
Amber, An air-operated sponge filter would be best (and safest) for Angelfish fry. While a power filter having its intake covered with a sponge barrier may work with those filters having a control to adjust/reduce its flow, without such a provision the fry can still be sucked up against the […]
Glad to see you’ve added a nightlight, and just like a tank cover you may not need it 364 days out of the year — but it only takes that one day that a fish may decide to jump or may get startled by something (another fish?) that may have bumped into […]
Lowering the water level will help increase the aeration as the outflow from your filter will have a further distance to fall, and while helpful, may not necessarily create near as much surface circulation as would an airstone.
I do not understand what you’re saying. What does using Amquel+ or its […]
I totally understand. I think it was after I first mentioned having used the Amquel+ a couple of times that Lenny suggested I lower the water levels to get better aeration. I’ll use it, but only as a last resort, since the goldfish are growing, […]
Yes, Amquel+ is quite safe to use with PraziPro. Its strictly a chloramine neutralizer which breaks the chlorine — ammonia bond and converts the ammonia to ammonium. Increased amounts are best used with the benefit of added aeration which aids in the safety of process of this conversion, whether […]
I posted my Excel log on the files page so you can see how I figured my salt levels. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/AquaticLife/files/Water%20Chemistry/ Look for DebRs Salt levels. Click on the boxes to see the formula I used to get each value. There’s actually only 18G of water in the […]
