I purchased a Rubbernosed pleco a pet smart they say it grows to 4 Inches but sadly it passed away not long ago. I done everything that I read about for caring for one. I made sure there was hardwood and I blanched vegatables like spinach. iceberg lettuce, and squash as a supplement to the pleco...

My Nitrite level is at 0 my Nitrate level is at 20. Is that bad? The Kh is 120 Gh is 120 the Ph is 7.0. I thought I read somewhere that the tank should have some Nitrate but not 100% sure on that. Could someone answer that for me or point me in the right direction to find the answers and what...

OK thank you I just want to make sure everything is at safe levels for my fish. Thanks again for you help.

My tank cleared up. I'm not sure what the correct levels should be. I'm sure different fish require different levels. Have Tetra's, Peppered and Green Cory's, and a Rubber Nosed Pleco. Gh - 120, Kh - 100, Ph - 6.8, Nitrite - 0, Nitrate - 0. Where's the best place to check on what is best for...

I'll double check to see if it's safe before I put it in. It's definitely hardwood it's hickory. Thanks again.

Ok thank you your help is greatly appreciated.

It's only about 12 inches long and about 1 1/4-1 1/2 round I have a pan big enough to boil it. Do I need to do anything besides removing the algae growing on it and boiling it?

Thank you for the advice I plan on getting a new test kit tomorrow. It's starting to look better I did a 50% water change and then a 25% change again the next day wasn't sure if 50% would be ok and Planned on changing another 25% tonight. I didn't want to change to much to soon but I also don't...

Hello everyone hope your having a good day. I stopped and got a piece of driftwood for the small lake near by on my way home today and want to get it ready for my tank. I took it out of the water and it has algae on it so its been in the water for a little while. I know I need to clean it and...

I can turn off the blue led lights and just use the normal white led. I don't usually keep the blue led's on I just took the pics when it was dark and that's when they look best. I need to get a blacklight their suppose really glow with one of them. When I get one I'll post a pic.

I have a sponge bubbler running already. Do a 50% change everyday or until It clears up? So the AquaClear 30 will be safe to use in my 20 gallon tank? The reason I ask is I bought a top fin 2-10 and put it in the 3 gallon tank thinking it would be OK since it was for up to a 10 gallon tank...

Yes I've had it set up for about 8 weeks it cycled pretty soon after I set it up. I change about 10 - 15% water a week. It seems to be working ok.

Yes they do. Yes they do I haven't found any dragons or I'd replace the skulls with them.

yes it's a whisper 3i it doesn't make much of a current. It works good never had any trouble with keeping the tank clean. She seem to be happy and will follow my finger around or just come up in front and spread her fins out. I think she's my favorite. I'm gonna get her a bigger tank before long...

I need to go buy a better testing kit these API test strips don't test ammonia just NO2, NO3, PH, KH, GH

I have a Top Fin 20 Power filter with the Top Fin 20 cartridge activated carbon and biological filtration pads. I have API test strips. NO2: 0.5, NO3: 20, PH: 7.0, KH 120, GH: 60. Does that give you an idea of what I'm doing wrong? Thank you

I'm really new to this and I'm not sure how long it takes to establish a nitrogen cycle but this is pretty much step by step what I've done. I've had my tank for around 5 weeks with 3 Glo-fish tetra's to start with then I waited about 8 days and put 4 more in then waited for 7 days and added 2...

Hi everyone. I have 7 glofish tetra's, 2 green cory's, 3 peppered cory's, and one rubberlipped or rubbernose pleco. According to pet smart it will only grow to 4 inches. Is this too many fish for my 20 gallon tank? length 24.1, width 12.5, height 19.0. It seems to stay just a little cloudy is...
