Will do. I knew I had to try to adjust for the tap. So I don't see any more besides water changes. I'm going to check it again Monday before a water change. Unless I can get to it Sunday night. So will update next week. Thanks for helping me get this straight.

Wish I were going to be able to answer you. Lol but I'm new also. I found out the hard way my water needed all kinds of tweaking from the get go out of the tap. (It's one of the newbie threads. And another member greeGree has one started about a 20 gallon long which I am also interested in as I...

Oh p,ease post pictures of your project! That sounds like a beautiful way to enjoy fish outside. How will you be able to see your fish? Will it be like a tiny Koi pond where you watch from above? What about a aquaponic type? Maybe it could be wheeled in during the winter? This one is a...

I will give GH and KH asap Wow. That's probably the situation we would be in if we stayed in NY year round. We are flipping a house up there in the mountains. Appellation trail runs a couple miles away. Good to know there are solutions. I didn't think the minerals would be pure. I thought it...

I should have kept better records at the beginning but I set the tank up initially with plants around the 13th of April. By the next week I had the shrimp and snails in it. By the 11th of May I began taking pictures. By the 14th I had been running it with the bubbler filled with ammonia...

Ooo thanks for sharing pictures. Is that wood or dragon stone? I cant tell on my tablet. Have you decided what type of light you will want to use or have already? Will they be for a certain type of plant of basically for viewing the fish? A glass top suggest you want plants but that doesn't mean...

So how long do the numbers have to stay consistent before it's been long enough? We're looking at a few more properties in the same area but from my research the water will be city. (Too close to the Indian River for a well (except for sprinklers) so I wouldn't use that for fish and I'm not...

It would be heavily planted, plant lights on for 7 hrs a day, viewing light on until bedtime. So if it was pygmy, otos, maybe a couple of dwarf hillstream loach, what surface fish would you think. I only like the long finned or black emperor tetras...the emperors get bigger though. White...

Kind of waiting to see what greeGree has decided. What kind of stock? I went to aqadvisor this list was approved for a 15 gallon? What kind of flow or current do any of these fish need? It gives temp and ph and compatability. Calculated for adult size. I realize it's overstocked when adult by...

Grech CBG-800 5W UV Sterilizer Hang-On Back Filter, 20-50 gallon/211 GPH https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY3YMHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_nNyhzbHXVM525 What is the opinion on this for a 20 long? greeGree you haven't mentioned any issues with water etc. But for myself I would need different types of...

Hello, my 2 cents will come from tons of reading only, but is it flow like a current you want or on the surface? I've seen a lot of spray bars that look like they would agitate the surface. Inside wave makers seem to give a current. Some fish seem to enjoy playing in it (not bubbles just...

So. Property purchase fell through. Owner changed their mind about selling at all... Anyway, results have even pretty consistent. Only doing 20% water changes. Ph 7.4 high ph7.6 ammonia 0 nitrites 0 nitrates between yellow and lightest orange. So when I get gh and kh numbers will you guys be...

The pymys are my favorite. I'll keep working on this a maybe that's all that will be in this tank if I get it straight. Just 5 or 6. And the shrimp that have lived through it all. I will test and water change until the gh kh test comes and see where this is. This tank is 13.7 long 13.5 tall...

Thanks for the input. Sorry abput the spelling, wouldnt let me edit as I got called away for a min while reviewing it. What do you think about this system "aquatic life reverse osmosis buddies system", 49$ on amazon. Just for fish, will only have the mini tanks, the 5 gal and the 20 if if get...

Thank I don't think I want any other fish but bottom dwellers. I don't think I can be overfeeding. I only have shrimp. I have an upside down plastic bottles cap in there. I use a turkey batter to put the shrimp pellets in. I leave them from morning to early evening then suck them up and try...

Sometimes, I think if you have schools of fish or many... it's different for betta owners. This specific fish is, well, a little closer to your heart. After all there has been no one else to disrptract you from him/ her except maybe a snail... so sorry. I hope you get a good night's sleep...

Here are the fluffy plants. Lol I love the river, I would probably do black sand instead of rocks for the cories. And still use the bigger black rocks to hold down anubia etc. And thankyou for that info. Yes I believe I will be ordering a 20 long. One thing though, what do you use as a lid so...

Sorry to hear that. 4 years is as long as expected for a happy betta but that doesn't make it any easier except he knew he cared for. That's a lot. I hope you get more fish. I'm new here too. There are a whole lot of people here who have years of experience to help get a new tank started...

Hmmm. I will definitely have to keep that in mind when I'm considering killies again... they are beautiful fish though!

So. I know NOTHING, just getting that clear first. But I am also having ammonia nitrate issues with my tap water. And we might be moving so I know there are probably other reasons a person can't run out and buy a 200 -300$ RO system even though they love their fish. My test results are under my...
