    5 weeks of treatment and I can't get rid of the ich

    No signs of Ich and today and I filled the tank up to the 50 gallon mark. This evening, the Turquoise Rainbow Fish are playing "wedding games"! LOL!

    5 weeks of treatment and I can't get rid of the ich

    OrionGirl, I am not sure if your reply is to the other person or me....or both! :D One of my Rainbows has ONE spot on its back (late last night discovery)! Sticking to the Salt and temperature and water renewal daily (using Stress Coat and Quick Start with that) method since I am out of Ick...

    5 weeks of treatment and I can't get rid of the ich

    Would like to share my Ick-and-gettin-rid-of-Ick experience. I have a 50 gallons tank, 36x18x18ins, lots of rocks and plants and a piece of driftwood on a pretty fine black gravel. Keeping these items company are 2x small Emerald Corycats, 1x large adopted Corycat, 3x Bumblebee Catfish, 7x...

    DIY Sand waterfall project

    Yes, I'll be testing it for sure ;) Thank you :) Actually I regretted putting the large stones on the Temple so I removed them today, and intend to put small ones on instead.

    DIY Sand waterfall project

    Thank you! I might just do that; more Cory Cats, or more Tetras:) I will be putting lots of plants in also.

    DIY Sand waterfall project

    Just my attempt at a sand waterfall. Making it work is not a problem; my problem was deciding what I want to subject my future water babies to! I do not like using paint and cement so I decided on a simple model. The plan is to make it look like a Temple, and all I am using is Styrofoam, hot...

    What does this mean?

    Thank you so much for advice. I feel a lot less scared now :) Sure, i will post pictures of waterfall build as I progress. It is rather simple, but fun to make and if it works I will be very happy. I guess that getting the right sand (1mm grain size)is what is most important for success, from...

    What does this mean?

    No, the silicone is not damaged but was thinking that if the water can get behind the frame, it might loosen the silicone. Thank you! . I an posting follow up shots here, and will take better care with water dripping in future. The front edge has changed now, the right hand end is now dried...

    What does this mean?

    Thank you for response, and your time :) Yes, the areas where those white thingies are coincide with where the water drips ...(okay, more than drips! LOL!)... from my arm,exactly! I see what you say about water seeping down from the outside, between the tank frame and damaging the silicone, I...

    What does this mean?

    I have been getting my new 50 gallon tank ready to put fish in next week. But this morning I emptied it out because I have decided on building a sand waterfall, and made a worrying discovery! I took some pictures to post for you to see and will let them speak for them selves, in the hope that...

    Hello, New person here :)

    Hi everyone, I'm a 61 y.o. woman and am retired. I have recently taken interest in starting up my old hobby again, and since I have not had aquarium since I was in my 30's, I think I qualify as "newbie" ...at least I am new to the size tank I recently purchased; I have not had tanks over 20...
