    Check out my new koi angel!

    The last 2 look like some sort of Blushing cross, also remember that angels will color up alot as they mature. I have an adult Gold Veil angel that looked like a platinum when I purchased him at less than a quarter size. He really surprised me as he grew, he has a cap thats as vibrant orange as...

    Polarized glasses...do they work?

    Thx for the info Mel, I was going to chime in that I use yellow or amber lenses depending on the light when I shoot outdoors without good shade. Its amazing how much sharper objects and targets become through a piece a yellow plastic.

    Epilepsy attack to my discus

    Not quite, but juveniles do need large and frequent water changes. I have recently been bitten by the discus bug, and now have a 120gal with a dozen 2.5+" juveniles. I do 50% waterchanges every other day, which is actually not very hard to do, if you have a python or similar setup. To the OP...

    Maintaining stable pH and water parameters during water changes

    Discus will be fine at 8.0pH, only if you're breeding does pH/tds matter. Keep it simple, you want to be consistent, and anything that makes maintenance harder than it has to be, increases the risk of stressing your fish.

    Uv Sterilizer. Check this out

    Also if the problem can be solved with an UV unit, Petsmart carries an inexpensive line of units called the Green Killing Machine, 9watt - $39 and 25watt - $59. They work very well and petsmart keeps replacement bulbs in stock too.

    Where do you live in Cali? And if you happen to have an R/O unit, you can buy resin that purposely absorbs Arsenic.

    New to CO2

    I shut mine off to extend my time between refills and to make sure I'm not gonna kill my fish due to CO2 poisoning. The pH swings do not bother fish, because the TDS (total dissolved solids) and/or gh/kh does not swing rapidly.

    220 Discus Build....PIC HEAVY!

    Its his DIY rubbermaid Sump/Wet Dry filter and a milk crate of bio-balls. @OP, Awesome start, I just started a 120gal for a dozen discus I purchased recently. Good thing you have a python in one of those pictures, those waterchanges would be a pain without one.

    wanna switch to dry ferts but not sure which ones

    With EI dosing, you dont even need a gram scale, a set of cooking teaspoons is that is needed. Check out the sticky at the top of the forum and read up. As for dry ferts, I recommend aquariumfertilizer.com, I have bought there many times and have no complaints.

    Doasing Dry Ferts - qot a question K2SO4

    I does Potassium Sulfate, due to my tap containing 5-10 ppm nitrates. I dose a third of the recommended Nitrate under the EI plan to stay at 10ppm throughout the week, but need the additional K. Also with the DIY root tabs one batch will last a couple of years. The recipe in the sticky will...
