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 […]
So an update on the mysterious fish, I went to another fish store and asked them what a Ram Angelfish was and I was told it was a cross- breed of a Ram Cichlid and an Angelfish. Wierd huh? Anyways, I bought a small Angelfish for a friend and as soon as I […]
We actually have a 10 gallon that is used to house any and all fry until they are large enough to be traded in to our LFS which is where the female guppy is now. I am thinking we will just stick with the males in my sons tank for now. Thanks for the […]
Hi Sam,

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 […]
As someone else suggested, if you have any decorations, large rocks, driftwood, etc., you may need to clean under them. The smell could be from the gases put out by anaerobic bacteria growing in a mulm buildup somewhere in the tank… or from a dead/decaying fish or other critter. In general, a healthy, […]
Ok guys, where shall i start from…..well the tap water smells ok….the bad smell is only for a few seconds after opening the cover in the morning…..so i tried something out last nite…..i kept the covers open the whole nite and guess what? not only the smell said good bye but the water now […]
If you are sure you are not OVER feeding, (this is relative since some may say you are and others may say you are not), and you are doing partial water changes religiously (assuming you are pulling out gunk from the bottom and not just taking out water with the hose somewhere in the middle […]
