A neighbor across the street set up a tank this past summer and she is battling brown algae. I don’t want to give her any wrong advice. I thought maybe it was from over feeding, but I looked it up and these are the causes
Cause
° Diatoms
° Excess silicates & nitrates

Many of the PetsMart fish are the bottom of the barrel fish from breeders since PetsMart wants the best/lowest prices on what they buy. Most breeders will keep the best fish for themselves, the next best would go to their closest friends who are also breeders, then to their local customers, aquarium societies, LFS […]
I sent a link of this thread to Dr. Tim’s at mailto:info@drtimsaquatics.com to find out for certain.. hoping they’ll read it and reply promptly since this is my first time emailing them.
While it’s certainly best to follow the directions on a product, so that if it doesn’t work properly, you can be sure if it […]
What, no mention of willow bark?

Hi Ramil Dy…sorry I responded to you as Romel in the forum my mistake
The biggest koi I have is 10 inches, I change 35% water weekly. I use to filter to handle the dirt and clean them either once or twice a week. It’s fun feeding the kois in the evening as they really come […]
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 […]
Will there be any weight put on it?
I have 1/4″ on my 48″ tank but I do have a middle support so it’s two 18″ by 24″ panels. Why don’t you have a middle support? Does your front and/or back glass bow out? I’ve seen them bow even on 48″ glass tanks […]
