Turboncoupe76,
Well… you’re saying that as if you don’t like Bio-Spira. I hate to burst your bubble but Dr. Tim’s One And Only is the new Bio-Spira. Dr. Tim Hovanec invented Bio-Spira (among many other advances in the aquarium industry) and then when Marineland sold out to Tetra, Dr. Tim formed his own […]
The smaller neons could be troublesome when introduced to a new home. They seem to have a much higher death rate than older, more mature neons. Is this a newly set up tank, or have you maintained it for some time. What are your water parameters–pH, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates?

They are the only 2 angel’s in the tank. I didn’t think I would actually get lucky and have them pair off, but I swear everything in my tank is pairing off and doing their breeding dances, LOL. I have one VERY fat flame tetra, and a couple of fat platty’s/guppies but […]
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 […]
Sizing a UPS can be a lot of fun. If you buy a 750, most people assume it can handle 750 watts, however, UPS’s are really measured in volt-amps. You can look and look on your electronics or other appliances, and not find a volt-amp measurement anywhere. There is a white paper that kind of […]
Thanks for the tips Lenny, we have the battery backup systems on most of the other electronics (tv, cable box, computers etc), but that’s a good idea to get for the fish tanks. I’ve noticed our battery backups don’t last that long, rarely even the 20 minutes that the box says they […]
You should be OK as far as the nitrifying bacteria go. You might have had a small die off but they are capable of doubling their colony size every 24-48 hours (depending on water parameters) but more than likely, you won’t even see a mini-cycle. Something you can do… just for your filter […]
