Another one, to the tune of "Happy Birthday" Happy Rock with String to you! Only a purple string will do. It’s an AC phenomenon Why don’t you get one, too?

That would work; sorry I read your first post wrong and was thinking the other way around. Just note the “old” water has little to no nitrifying bacteria, but will help in acclimating your fish to the new water as well as adding microfauna, which is good, should help eliminate the “cloudy...

As asked by budrecki and myself, you need to post your water readings. What is recommended is to have your ammonia and nitrIte as close to 0 as possible. That might mean a 50% change or less. In the meantime, a 25% change is a good place to start. But you need to get your readings.

At the same time you transfer your fish, either use their old filters on the new tank simultaneously for a while, or better yet, just put all the old filter media into your new filters. As long as the fish load is the same, you will be fine either way. Using the old gravel couldn’t hurt, but...

The first thing to do with any fish problem, even in an established tank, is check your water. The best investment is test kits. A fish store will usually check your water for free, but I would strongly advise you have your own so there is no delay and you can test several times a day, if...

The bulb is great, there is nothing wrong with it. But it is only a single bulb over 45 gallons (this is for the tank in your signature?). That gives you less than 1 watt per gallon; I don't think that will be enough for your plant. A different bulb will not help. All 36 inch bulbs are 30...

That's great. I really like the stone cave/arch on the left. The background is very nice, it blends in well with your design.

But you were smarter than me, you got the grey one. Isn't it FUN to work with, though???

Happy Birthday!!

I didn't notice the water/gravel in the first pics. But, anyhow it worked out for you and that's great. Sounds like a nice community tank. Planning is half the fun.

I'm sure somebody knowledgeable will be along to help you soon. In the meantime, I'm really not a "level" person.... but I do have one observation. Your level is standing on the top of the frame, correct? The frame might not be perfectly put on. Did you try the level reading on the bottom...

The info I have saved on file is "Mix at 10 mg/liter of water for a 10-minute soak". Basically the water should be a nice pink/purple colour. (Be careful, the stuff will stain your skin/clothes, etc.) I would rinse the plants well afterwards but you don't have to be extremely concerned as...

F30T836 What is the length of the tube? 3 or 4 feet? I remember researching similar numbers on tubes for their K ratings and believe it is broken down as follows: F30 is 30 watts T8 is a T8 tube (the skinnier ones as opposed to T12) and 36 means 3600 K. Edit... that can't be right...

Usually bulbs labelled daylight are indeed good. More important is the wattage of the bulb.

That's great, very witty. Excellent details (I was impressed with the bar code Canadian price). You know you're now stuck with a weekly job.

Sorry to hear of your fish's death. That's always hard to take. Not sure what was wrong with him. Was it white patches on the skin or cottony? I still don't know, the only thing that comes to mind is fungus. A CAE spends a lot of time with his belly against the gravel, like corys, so good...

I don’t have a new Eheim-Jager, just the several of the previous Ebo-Jager. Obviously I don’t have the instructions you’re reading in front of me. But my experience with heaters (even the cheapo heaters that hang on tanks) is that you do not take off the button for setting temperatures unless...

More info on size, colour, etc.? The only thing I can think of offhand that looks like bigger brine shrimp is an amphipod, they can grow 12 – 15 mm.
