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 […]
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 […]
From what I’ve read on algae build up (as long as it’s the good algae build up which is greenish/brown) any amount of it is good, as it does the same thing your live plants would do when they clean the water by removing fish waste and all that. My betta […]
All the reports from the various suppliers around here will at least reference the use of chloramines, if not show an actual average measurement.

I’ve been wondering why you have been waiting for the water people to reply.. The company or town department that supplies the water should have a web site, and on that web site should be the latest report available for public consumption that will tell you whether chloramines are used and a lot of other […]
They may not have been fertilized. I wonder if this is why one of them were getting fatter… from filling up with eggs? Did she slim down now? Females will/can still scatter eggs without a male figuring out they are supposed to follow along and fertilize them.. or maybe the males aren’t even […]

Well, it drops 4″ in a month… However, if you were asking about volume, since the upper pond is flowing into the lower pond, it’s level won’t change - only the lower pond will have a change in “levels”

According to Hach’s own website, their test strips are only “semi-quantitative” compared to their other testing kits and meters. “Semi” being the operative word.. meaning half.. like they’re only half right.
