Thought I’d share with the group my near loss of pond, recovery, and lesson learned. Specs. 1,700 Gal. pond, Performance Pro 1/4-49 pump, Ultima II 2,000 filter and Aqua UV 80W. Aloha Oregon, near Portland. 6 total KOI about 100″.
Trouble began when the water was more green than it should have been. […]
Hi,
I was going through old messages here at UniQuaria…and discovered your message.
I just started this wonderful hobby last December. I have a 10 gallon tank. The fish that you mentioned..I used to have: 4 zebra danios, 2 Bettas, 2 mollies, 1 tiger barb and a very pretty fan-tail goldfish
All in all…I had 10 […]
A few weeks back, I posted about my sick tank. After losing 2 angels, an albino rainbow shark and a platty the tank seemed to settle down. All levels (ammonia, nitrates and nitrites) tested at zero, even when everything was dying. After no deaths for several weeks, I purchased 4 zebra danios […]

Brenda,
Funny thing you should mention the clarifier. I did take a sample of my water to the pond store. They sold me Laguna Clear Fast - $35 to treat 10,500 gallons - ouch! I put it 3 cups in yesterday afternoon (I have 3700 gallons to treat). The water immediately turned […]
I set up my tank last December and everything was going great until recently. A few weeks ago I noticed that one of my plattys had a ragged tail and fins. He was one of the three plattys that survived cycling the tank (I started out with six). The […]
Well, today I bought another female molly to add to my pair and was told that they had beem raised with salt added to their water, so I bought aquarium salt - did a PWC - only 6g out of 30 and added salt. I know that is a minuscule amount […]
