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 […]
Heather, I think it is an overcrowding issue- I should talk as my 55 has a pile of platys and my pond is overstocked but I didn’t do it. the fish did. Maybe a 20 Gal tank would make things easier- I always had trouble with 10 gal as they emptied too fast […]
I forgot to mention I have a 8″ sword plant in the 55. Thats been there since I started the tank.

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 […]
Hey, Okay but clean up will be alot more easier to clean then what I am doing right now. I can see that cleaning out of the pond is alot more then pulling out of the pond and putting back in the pond, just turn […]
I need a new fountain pump I lost a pump yesterday. Our pond is clay bottom 90′x 90′ aprox 5′5″ at deepest part average deapth 4′. I have a mucky pond the fish stir it up and I don’t know the fish load I know I have put 10 koi in there […]
What time of day did you test the pH? Was it first thing in the morning? Was it later in the day? Do you have any other test results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, GH, KH?
We went through this recently with someone else so yours may be the same situation.
Do you have live plants […]
