Major disappointment! No change at all to my tank water. 4 ppm ammonia and 0 ppm nitrates!
Well, my test may indeed have been flawed. Adding fish would not have shot the ammonia up to 4ppm and that might have had an adverse effect on the bacteria. I might have gotten a […]
The 3 to 5 drops per gallon guideline to bring the ammonia up to 3-5ppm, seems to work in your case.. with the 5 drops per gallon being the max to bring it to 5ppm.. 4 drops per gallon would give you 4ppm. If the initial 6 drops in 12G brought it up to […]
Hi Dewdude; I don’t know how long you’ve had your fish, but they are just like any other animal. They may be too young yet, or they may just not be “comfortable” in your tank set up to be thinking about sex. You didn’t mention how large the tank was and […]
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 […]
Hmmmmm… I’m worried about the P.P. Since you soaked the wood for 30 minutes and just “rinsed it well afterwards”, it could still leach P.P. into your tank. Remember that since it soaked for 30 minutes, the porous wood should have sucked up some of the P.P… probably not enough to be a […]
Tom, Again, my sympathies on the loss of your Angelfish. They’re quite majestic in their own right and one can easily get attached to them when being involved in this hobby. Looking over your description of your hood, its still a mystery as to exactly how your fish […]
I think the extra ammonia you added is causing an ammonia bloom, if you can’t test the ammonia right now I would at least do PWC’s (25% every hour until the water looks clearer). When my tank had the first ammonia bloom it was a white cloudiness. Adding the gravel from an […]
29 gallon bio cube, fresh water, just set up, added some decor, black gravel, two live plants, one is planted in drift wood, added ammonia and gravel from an established tank. this is the second day it’s been running, I woke up this morning and the water was milky cloudy looking. […]
Angel fish always look nice in a tall tank. Or, better yet, discus. they are for the more experienced aquarist, though.
