welcome! what are you breeding?

If your fish have already adjusted to the ph of your tapwater, you are probably hurting them more than helping them by trying to wrangle the ph to what you want it at.

If you have the option, I would move all of the fish that you have in there to another thank, and starve the snails out. While doing this pick out as many as you can at least once a day. Maybe invest in an assassin snail as well? Are they MTS?

its right below the rim of the tank. I will drill some more holes to help tame the pressure. I will definitely try to do that with the black background and painting the spray bar black. Thanks Jubs

The reason I ask this is that I am trying to come up with a way to hide the spray bar on my 55 gallon aquarium. The filter I have is an odyssea CFS 500, which has a pretty high flow so I went to lowes and pieced together a cpvc "spray bar". I plan on painting it black, but it is still rather...

Just wondering how Yall go about hiding your aquarium equipment: Heater, filter intake/return, CO2 Diffuser etc. The "hide behind a plant" trick works for the most part but for something like a filter spray bar or intake, the plants tend to get beat to death if you have a high flow filter...

Why not just have a "thanks" button to push whenever a post is helpful or interesting. "Such and such member has 0 thaked posts...or such and such member has 132 thanked posts"

Whats even better is if you wait for them to send you a coupon and use that WITH the dollar per gallon sale BOOM! Thats what I did with my 55 gallon. I think I paid like $50 total with tax.

Just remember these laws were put in place to protect the local wildlife from irresponsible citizens.

Let me preface with this: I have taken 18 credits of college level chemistry, however I am no guru by any means. Distilled water does not conduct electricity, upon the addition of a soluble ionic compound (NaCl, which becomes Na+ and Cl-) it does. I assume that a TDS meter is basically a...

Cabomba really isnt that demanding in my experience.

Re: Tiger Lotus flower You should read up on Gregor Mendels experiments with pea plants.

Re: Tiger Lotus flower I will try again someday...I have been considering starting fresh in my 20 gallon tall. Maybe I will try a tiger lotus as the centerpiece.

Thanks! Trying to work on getting everything to fill in, especially the background plants. I may have a potassium deficiency. It seems like all of the older leaves become yellow and develop holes. I will be ordering some seachem potassium to try to remedy this.
