What area of the world are you located in? I know some areas do not have as many available meds. Are you familiar with any of the meds that are available in your area?
First, you should move the ill fish to a quarantine tank so that you can treat it separately. This […]
Please forgive the commercial post - but these are not usually available at your local Wal-Mart……
The FLOW METER looks like an upside down test tube attached on top of a horizontal pipe. As the water rushes past it thru the pipe, it has a little thingee that rises up the tube to indicate how […]
nice ones! thanks Julie. Jack

Presently I’m using two pumps on my pond.
The waterfall and filter are powered by a older design Diamond Mag Flow pump I had for over 12 years. This pupm looks like a standard sump pump and is rated at 3,700 gph. This pump had turned may a Koi into chopped […]

Lenny already gave you a pretty good outline of the nitrogen cycle, also called the biological cycle. Tests are available for measuring ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. You can buy a master test kit which contains those three, and a few others for much less than buying each separately.
Please note that pH is always lower case […]
I know you are limited to available medicines in the UK but pop-eye is a symptom of an internal bacterial infection. You should treat the fish with antibiotic food and treat the water column with an antibiotic. I’m not sure what is available over there but hopefully you have a knowledgeable LFS that […]
Hi, I am a new member from the UK. I have a yellow cichlid with an eye problem. Its right eye is very swollen, pop eye like. I have isolated the fish but now sure what else to do. Dave.

It all depends on your starting baseline and then the ecology of the tank will affect the pH after that. The “normal” ecology of a tank will ALWAYS lower the pH over time.
If you have rocks that leach calcium carbonate and/or other minerals, this can keep the pH stable or raise it.. or if […]
