    School project

    Its small. When I first started out I thought 1 gallon was fine for a betta until I put mine in a 10 gallon and discovered how much easier it was to maintain, how much more active he was and he seemed much happier overall. I shun vases and bowls now. Sent from my SCH-I405 using...

    Mini Cycle - I screwed up. Now what/Ammo chips?

    Add stress zyme or other comparable zyme/cycle product to supplement the bacteria in your tank. Yes bacteria "eats" ammonia. Its the first step of the cycle. There are 2 sets of bacteria. First set turns ammo to nitrites. 2nd set turns nitrites into nitrates. Add some plants until you finish imo...

    Hello! New here and having some problems with my tank--(African cichlids inside)

    White cloud is ammonia or bacterial bloom. If ammo tests low (under .5 or 1.0ppm) then its bacterial bloom or sediment in water column. Bacterial bloom will settle in a few days to a week or 2. If sediment try a water polishing pad or put some water clearing drops in & then vaccum the smokey...

    Help I have ick

    Never treat your display tank. Quickest way to earn yourself a tank crash and lose all your sensitive species. Remove the fish from the display and either place in hospital tank with low salinity or do freshwater dips of the fish by placing into bucket of freshwater for 3 minutes. Water must be...

    Shrimp pH

    what are you using for substrate? if it's something that lowers the ph then you'll have a steady battle trying to raise it. if it's just non-perameter affecting gravel or sand then buffering can help, but is a bandaid. tufa or other mineral rocks can help sustain a ph. also crushed coral in your...

    Shrimp dying, everything else (including snails) fine

    do you age your water, or do you just treat it and then put it in? if you age your water 24 hrs sitting out overnight it evaps a lot of the chlorine and allows some gas exchange so your little guys don't get their version of the benz lol. also i noticed when i did larger water changes the risk...

    first shrimp tank

    might want a thicker cap or you will have a muddy mess when you go to do an h20 change but other than that cool experiment, always feels nice crafting something yourself!

    I Hate Small tanks

    try seachem 7 regulator, crushed coral, egg shells, tufa rock, ultimately get rid of the ada soil and get something else as it will be a constant battle for you, every time you add water it will spike the ph higher and then it will lower itself again due to the ada, you will continue losing...
