    Moving out

    You can pull them at any point once they're free swimming. I usually do it earlier rather than later since I find using a siphon into a container to be the easiest and least traumatic way of doing it. Please forgive any typos. This was sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the...

    Parasites our Columnaris?

    Jungle parasite cure has worked for me with parasitic infections in the past. Please forgive any typos. This was sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the MonsterAquariaNetwok App

    5 neons dead

    65 is too cold for those fish. You may also want to introduce your fish a few at a time as well in order to allow your filter to grow into your bioload. Please forgive any typos. This was sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the MonsterAquariaNetwok App

    Colored sand and gravel?

    I wouldn't use it since I'm not familiar with it and it doesn't seem necessary. Please forgive any typos. This was sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the MonsterAquariaNetwok App

    Finnex?

    I use them on deeper tanks but not the fugeray (which is for shallow refugiums) but rather the Ray2 series. It does well with medium light at the floor of a 90 gal but the footprint isn't very wide (LEDs are fairly directional) so depending on the width of your tank you may need two of them...

    Cleaning after columnaris

    Try this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003SNCHMA/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8 As for test strips, I gave up on them after my Labrador retriever decided they taste good and I realized they were more effective as dietary fiber than as an accurate test. Please forgive any typos. This was sent...

    Lots of problems in my tank - kribensis and cherry barbs

    You're right it shouldn't be that way. The drawing helped me know where to look. Its probably not hole in the head, I would quarantine if possible, do twice-weekly water changes on the QT, and feed a medicated food. Please forgive any typos. This was sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the...

    What lighting? Please comment...Need as many people to reply as possible!!!

    I use a pair of the finnex Ray2 LED strips on my 90 gal. They do better than the t5ho lights that I had on before and they can sustain at least medium light plants on the floor of that tank (I have livestock conflicts with many of the high light plants). My only complaint with them is that the...

    Can a Nano Filter Cycle?

    That one should work. The gph will recirculate your tank 5 times per hour which is the minimum. If it were me I'd probably spring for the extra 10 dollars and get the next size up or one of the aquaclear filters so that you can have something more than a betta in there at a later time if you...

    Can a Nano Filter Cycle?

    For a single betta that filter will probably be enough although I generally recommend getting a filter that is larger than necessary rather than pushing the envelope on a smaller one. As for cycling, the size of the filter doesn't matter, the size of filter controls how much waste can be...

    Lots of problems in my tank - kribensis and cherry barbs

    The Krib doesn't look that bad although she is a bit red around the lips and they do look a bit swollen. I had a hard time discerning the actual wound in the video. She may well clear the infection on her own if she's left in clean water. I still think a medicated food is the safest way to go...

    how the heck you use this thing??

    If its the one I think it is, on the funny looking part that connects to your faucet the very bottom of it should turn and drop down. This changes it from blow to suck....ok I've watched too much spaceballs lately..... Please forgive any typos. This was sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using...

    Cleaning after columnaris

    I've done a bit of research on columnaris. It is indeed the result of one of three common bacteria that can become pathogenic (disease causing) under certain conditions. They flourish in warm, hard, alkaline (pH above 7) water with high levels of dissolved organics and particularly if you have...

    Fry Tank Setup

    I tie a filter media bag over the intakes of my filters on the tanks that have shrimp and fry in them. They're cheap, easy to clean and work well Please forgive any typos. This was sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the MonsterAquariaNetwok App

    I don't understand how people do water changes.

    With a python system, you treat in the tank. I usually add enough Prime to treat the entire volume of the tank and then start filling. Please forgive any typos. This was sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the MonsterAquariaNetwok App

    Colored sand and gravel?

    I don't think the fish really care that much, however I suggest avoiding too much white since it can be pretty reflective and make the fish feel exposed, thus stressing them a bit. Most of the issues I hear about with gravel colors are on the human side. Please forgive any typos. This was...

    Lots of problems in my tank - kribensis and cherry barbs

    Its likely the krib has an infection from her wound. I suggest an antibiotic treatment for the tank, but it may be a losing proposition. This does sound bacterial to me though. The best treatment is to make sure you have clean water. Do a water change before you start any treatment...

    I don't understand how people do water changes.

    I got tired of all the water waste from my python with my 6 tanks ( including a 90 and a 72 with victorians that requires heavy water changes) so I hooked up a PVC "candy cane" with a submersible pump on one end and a garden hose on the other. I use it to drain the tanks into the bathtub and...
