Hi Myron,
I can not speak on the condition of the Eheim filter but I did want to address the loss of power from your two Fluval filters. I have a few- well, maybe 6 of these different ones. Over the years I have come to have to deal with the 303 and 304 or 404 […]
Hi Sam,
There is no “rule”, whether it’s 1″ per gallon or 2 gallons per fish that works… except for slim-bodied fish that stay under 3″ as full grown adults. For example, a 10″ Oscar certainly can’t be kept in 2 gallons of water, nor will 10 gallons of water be sufficient…. more like […]
A 10G tank should probably not have more than 4-5 guppies… maybe 3-4 males with the juvi pleco. Guppies grow to around 2.5″ It would be best if you get baby/juvi clown or bristle nosed plecos (or one of the other dwarf varieties but those two are usually cheapest) which you will still […]
I use an API test kit. I always rinse them in aquarium water first including the caps. I have only gotten the big of a drop once, but with a couple of water changes it appears to be coming back up. The reason I thought it was the filter was because I […]
I am using Ehfisubstrate in both trays. In the top tray there are also a handful of ceramic rings mixed in. Bayshore water is a little on the hard side but usually never changes. I have a fire station on the next road so the are constantly opening up the hydrants to […]
Just out of curiosity, how are you measuring ph? I use the API test kits, and I can’t discern teh results with that degree of specificity. What is more, my ph reagent usually suggests a lower ph than my high ph reagent. I do know if the colors […]
Does running an Eheim 2227 wet/dry on a fresh water tank lower the ph of the tank. All my tanks always have a ph of 7.2-7.4 . Bay Shore tap water is the same. The only changes I have made to my main 55g is to add […]
How’s your tapwater smell? How bad is the tank smell and is it always that way or just the inital opening of the lid? I keep my tanks as close to technically perfect as I can and the first time I open the lid in the morning I get a small wiff of […]
What kind of fish are breeding? Some fish are egg scatterers and leave things to nature, others lay their eggs in nest area and guard them and then of course, there are live bearers.
How big is the breeding tank?
If you want maximum survivability of the spawn, it’s probably best to have the spawners by […]
I personaly have not had any problems with keeping cory cats in my breeder tanks. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
