rrkss, No, 2 small plastic plants. Never any algae at all. It's a bio-wheel tank with a carbon filter.

I apologize it was a typo (typo and confusion). The nitrite is 0, it's a nitrate test that I don't have. So nitrites are 0.

Nah I don't have a nitrite kit. Nothing new in the tank, only "foreign" thing was the brine shrimp. (which the gup ate himself fat, and I joked that he was going to eat himself to death, could I have been right?) I do a 25% weekly. Gravel clean and add conditioned tap. Been doing it...

Thank you for the response. I didn't want to be one of the people who does the "please help!" thing, but i am worried about losing the fish. Ammonia: 0 Nitrate: 0 PH 7.5 Temp: 78 It's too bad but i don't have a camera. Truth is he's looking pretty bad, starting to arch his...

Hello all. Was hoping someone could maybe help. I read through many of the disease topics but can't seem to pinpoint what might be happening. Have a guppy for about 4 months. In a 5 gallon tank with a mystery snail and albino cory All water conditions are fine, tank was cycled. Has been...

I was in the store today looking around at different fish foods. There are tons for tropical fish. I was wondering if some would be better than others. Like for example there is this one: http://tetra-fish.com/catalog/product.aspx?id=47 Which says it's for marine or tropical fish...

Guppy and a mystery snail (about 3/4 inch). Nitrate and Nitrite haven't changed.

So after a few days all seems well, however, my ammonia reading is about .25ppm. Is it's not normal to have any ammonia after cycling completes correct? Is the tank having trouble getting rid of the waste? I know that ammonia reading is very low, however, i'm suprised to see a reading at...

Update: Since i posted the first note, the snail has released about 3 times more "material". Sitting in the same spot, and just keeps pumping whatever this is out. I'm lost, nothing looks like any pictures on the site mentioned above.

So i've searched high and low on the forums too try to figure out what my newly aquired BMS could be releasing. It doesn't look like waste, nor pictures of eggs I find here on the site. It's 10's of strands, about 1/2 inch long, with little white/brown "lumps" example: -o-o-o-o-o...

Terrific! Thank you both. I've done a 50% water change and purchases 1 male guppy :) Think I will add a Mystery Snail, i love mystery.

I have a long running thread for the past weeks here if you'd like some background: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59080 Quick rundown: 1) I didn't know about cycling 2) Added Fish 3) They died 4) Started Fishless Cycle Now, after 3 weeks of starting the...

Is it possible for my cycle to be done in only 2 weeks? I've brought the ammonia up to 3-4ppm everyday. Each morning, it's back to 0. Nitrites went up to > 1ppm, each morning they are 0. Nitrates are present. Temp is 78 PH is 7.4 Seems too quick to be true.

Right around 40.

I brought this up in another thread, and it was suggested to make a new one so it had a better chance of getting an "expert" opinion. I'm "mid" fishless cycle. Ammonia drops to .25 - .5 24 hours after bumping it to 3-4ppm Nitrites - > 1ppm My PH however, has dropped from about 7.7 to <...

Just an update. For the last 3 days i bring the ammonia up to 3-4ppm, 24 hours later it's about .25-.5ppm Nitrites are > 1ppm Another weird odd find, my PH has dropped below 6.0? Any idea why that is or what that means? So, what does anyone make from this? Does it sound like i'm in...

Yup, i tried it all, cleaning, paint, pools, etc. No where to be found. I'm going to try Ace in the morning.

Found an Ace nearby, thanks for the help. Going to try it out tomorrow.

So i'm thinking some cycling may have begun: Ammonia is 2.5ppm Nitrite is > 1ppm PH is 7.7 Temp 78 My stats looking good?

Thank you all. I'll try to skip the urine. I'll see if I can find an Ace hardware, but I don't know if there is one around. As for the shrimp or urine.. ahh i'll keep looking for an Ace ;) Thanks again.. please if anyone else has a suggestion!
