Wednesday Check in (Day 21 reduced salt; 37 total)
- pH: 7.4; Ammonia: .25ppm; Nitrite: .25ppm; Nitrate: almost 40ppm (The Nitrite seems to want to stay at .25, but it does read 0 for tap water and the Nitrates are rising so I’m going to trust the .25 reading. […]
Many of the PetsMart fish are the bottom of the barrel fish from breeders since PetsMart wants the best/lowest prices on what they buy. Most breeders will keep the best fish for themselves, the next best would go to their closest friends who are also breeders, then to their local customers, aquarium societies, LFS […]
I have lost a number of adult mystery snails to the intake filter. I have a fluval canister on the tank that this happened to and I had to put a sponge pre filter on it to avoid this problem. Pam

No. As long as the salt is added slowly in the first step to prevent the fish and/or bacteria from going into shock, then they should be fine… at least up to the 0.3% range. When you inadvertently went up to the 0.5% range near the beginning, that might start to affect the […]
Tuesday Check in (Day 20 reduced salt; 36 total)
- Noon: pH: 7.4; Ammonia: between 0 and .25ppm (up, sigh); Nitrite: ..25ppm; Nitrate: almost 20ppm - I hate removing good bacteria with frequent PWCs, but it looks like another week or two before I’ll have the 2nd tank […]
I think something was wrong with that snail… if it actually got stuck on the intake.. or maybe it was just trying to clean the inside of the strainer and got part of it’s foot caught.. like getting a finger caught in a crack and then it started to panic and got sick as a […]
What, no mention of willow bark?

Hi Deb, Addressing your first post in this thread, no I did not state that Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Fungus Cure would treat Velvet (at least not in my most recent post on this), although it should treat it. When I recommended your using API’s Fungus Cure, I did so as […]
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 […]
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 […]
