too many ooooo's

another thing you can do is not hold the bottles at an angle when you are adding the drops. Hold the bottle straight down into the test tube and squeeze very slowly. An angled drop gives you much more chemical.....And yes...shake, shake, shake

Yessir. Never wash any of your aquarium supplies with the household soaps. Especially the dish cleaning soaps. They will leave a residue that can be fatal to our finny friends. Keep making the water changes...you don't say how many gallons the tank is but yes....I would make about 4 PWC in the...

Most Cichlids do a great job taking care of family....Convict is no exception. Great movie!

If you keep up with the daily PWC its going to be a big help. Even if you don't h ave the test kits yet. You need to ceep changing that water

Oh Pea Que

Thanks Paul. I'm going to give it a try today after making a PWC.

In reading about the use of Purigen my question is this: How much do you use? I have a 36 gal bow tank and I'm running two Fluval C4 Outside filters. The filter chambers are set as follows: 1) Fluval filter pad and polishing pad. 2) Activated carbon pellets and Fluval Clearmax, all in one bag...

I might even try my local plumbing supply house. They will probably have most any type of pump equipment you may need

Thanks for that info. I've sent an email to Seachem to see if they have any solutions or explanations. When I hear back I'll post it on this thread. I agree with the Epson salts...using them for years with no problems and yes...much cheaper.

Welcome to AC. Great forums with lots of info. Enjoy

Need some info about Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt. I purchased a container of Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt and I’m not quite satisfied with the product. I have an aquarium stocked with Malawi cichlids and in the past have been using Epsom Salts to help replicate the environment. I’ve had no issues...

That's great conversation. It was nice to be able to go to your local tropical fish store and chat with friends about your aquariums and how everyone set things up. And the discussions surrounding all kinds of problems you might have been experiencing. Yep, the web is great...especially with...

it sounds fishy
