I'm about to set up a 55 gallon tank to breed angelfish. I intend to buy 6-8 young fish and hope that they pair off and will lay eggs on some flat "movable" objects. My plan is to remove the objects with the eggs into a smaller 5-10 gallon tank and grow the babies in there. My plan is: 1. I was...

I've seen a product discussed on forum and offered in Europe called "Liquifry" for fry. It's looks like the perfect, easiest way to feed fry and to start infusoria. Does anyone know where to buy it in the USA ?

Does anyone know where to purchase "infusoria tablets". I see them mentioned on Google in many places but I can't find anywhere to purchase them.

Thanks for the help... I found a good link .... http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Infusoria

I had about 150 pink zebra danio fry. After they were swimming for about 5 days, all of a sudden, all but about 10 of them died. I was feeding them "baby bites" (powdered food) made by Hikari. The parents were removed promptly after the eggs were laid and the fry were the only fish in the...

I recently added CO2, increased my lighting to 5 watts per gallon and started (20%) to use R/O water in my 55 gallon tank. The PH has dropped from 7.8 to 6.8 which is what my PH controller is set at. Prior to these changes, ammonia level was at zero. Now it is between .5 - 1.0 PPM. Do any...

I'm trying to breed Olive Nerite snails in a small brackish water tank. I have two questions. 1. How long after I see eggs on the rocks should I expect them to hatch. 2. Does this type of snail turn into a "plankton like" state where they float in the water. I have a sailfin mollie in this...

I'm starting a 10 gal tank solely for the purpose of growing plants for my larger tanks. I want to buy a lighting system that will provide from 35-60 watts. The tank is 20" long and would normally use 18" bulbs. I can't find 18" T-5's that are 6700k or anything similar that is good for...

I have a few planted tanks and I want to be able to test my compact fluorescent lights to determine when their output has diminished. I'm curious about whether the intensity diminishes or the part of the light spectrum output changes. I'm looking at two meters but it seems that both of...

I'm wondering though if that matters for my purposes. The 6700K bulbs that I'm using and having success with are fine for my setup, so all I want to do is determine the condition of the bulbs so I know when to replace them. So...in this case, I'm thinking the LUX meter will identify when it's...

I believe you're right :) what about these..... http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=milwaukee+light+meter&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=13847421278599029411&ei=qv1GTYKwJ4TUtQP_i7HQCg&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CD4Q8wIwAg#

I'm looking to purchase a light meter so I can determine the condition of my compact fluorescent bulbs and whether are still putting out the correct amount of light. Any recommendations?

I just set up a small 2 gal. brackish tank (1.008 SG) in an attempt to breed olive nerite snails. I was hoping to put a small plant in there that will survive in the brackish water and LED light that comes with the Fluval Nano set up. Will any of the anubias work? If not, what will?

Please excuse my ignorance ...but...what does 4dkh mean?

Which CO2 tester is better...Red Sea or Azoo?

I have a 55 gallon tank that is "semi-planted". I want to be able see my fish in the morning before I go to work at 8am and also at night until 10 or 11 pm. Is there a problem having the lights on for 14-15 hours? Would it be better to have them shut off for 3 hours in the afternoon?

Isn't the job of the reactor to create very tiny bubble of CO2?

I just installed my first CO2 system on my 55 gallon freshwater tank. I have the regulator set to approx 1 bubble per second. I'm using a Red Sea Reactor 500. It seems that my CO2 bubbles are not being dispersed and circulated through the tank like other CO2 systems that I've seen. I have the...

I have 5 freshwater tanks ranging from 5 gal to 55 gal. I perform a 20% water change weekly on each of them. I've been trying to get the water from the faucet to approx. 78 degrees with each change. Recently, a fairly large fish supplier told me that I should never use heated water from my...

I have 4 freshwater tanks with live plants. Two of my tanks have algae issues. I recently purchased 20 olive nerite snails from AZ Aquatic Gardens to put in my 20 gallon tank that had a layer of algae on all the rocks and plant leaves. I wish I had before and after pictures to show...
