[AquaticLife] new tank

Those measurements add up to 19.94 gallons. What do you mean by smaller? Shorter in height? What are the dimensions of your current tank?
I would use it to increase the water volume of your current tank.. either with the bridge or with the U-tubes. Either would increase the water volume. If […]

[AquaticLife] Heavy Metals

I’ll stick with API’s dechloinator & heavy metal deactivator unless I find out of problems with sodium thiosulfate buildup.

[AquaticLife] Heavy Metals

Bill,
Yes, Prime will certainly work but it is a lot more expensive than the products I listed. Prime will also act as a dechlor, treat heavy metals and also treat a certain amount of ammonia but Jimmy was mainly concerned about heavy metals that might be coming up with his well water.. so this […]

Newbie with a fungus problem?)

Yes, PetsMart will do a water test for you but they typically use the dip sticks which would be less reliable than your kit but nothing wrong with having it done for comparative purposes. Either have them write down the results in numbers or you do it yourself. DO NOT accept “It’s OK” […]

Newbie with a fungus problem?)

Good move on changing the subject line — and being ABLE to change it. Nice to see that the fungus issue is behind you; that’s at least one step in the right direction in getting these fish back to good health. CB’s increased activity is even more encouraging than before.

Newbie with a fungus problem? Q FOR RAY

How old are they again? They are still pretty small by goldfish standards but it’s promising that they are growing so hopefully any stunting might be reversed. All of the PWC’s that you’ve been doing has constantly diluted/removed the hormone levels, that cause stunting in fish, so their hormone receptors think they are […]

[AquaticLife] Angel fish with a bite mark or white spot?

Gourami’s certainly can be aggressive to conspecifics and sometimes to other top level fish but are usually less aggressive to tank mates unless they are guarding a bubble nest. They also get quite large, around 6″ long, 2″+ tall, so do not plan on any other large fish in your tank or you could […]

Newbie with a fungus problem?

I’ll substantiate that for Deb — Do not mess with your pH — it will not be toxic if you can just get the ammonia and nitrite levels down. I just checked back to the first message in this thread, and I see you had prolonged ammonia and nitrite levels of […]

Did you save the instructions for recharging the zeolite? At a certain point, it will become “clogged” up with ammonia and then it has to be recharged and reused. If you have two packets of it, you can alternate them with a fresh packet while you recharge the used one.
please send me the instructions there […]

Wish such big fish in a 29G tank, I’d continue to use the zeolite. Normally, zeolite shouldn’t be used unless it’s an emergency… and in your situation, it is. If you removed it, you would have extreme ammonia issues in a very short period of time.
