I don't have plants for trade, but if you ever want to sell some of those aside from hornwort let me know, I'm in stl too. Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Purigen doesn't need charged before its first use. Purigen is great for making water stained with tannins clear, unfortunately it won't help your current situation. Freshy is right that your only recourse now is frequent large water changes. If ammonia or nitrites are at or above 0.5, do a 75%...

Otos would be great. Give it a few months before adding them, and keep up on water changes. They don't do well with immature tanks or poor water quality. Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

6 feet of spa flex to rework my sump, a danner 9.5 to pump water from my holding cans into the 180 for water changes, and groceries for the family Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Except ph will crash over time due to kh being used up by filter bacteria creating acidic byproducts. Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Lava rock has been used as bio media for ages. It might break down after years, but so does most media, and it's dirt cheap. Give it a good wash before hand. Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Wait what? Nitrates and ph are a great indication of when/how much water needs to be changed. Weekly or less is a great idea, but with low stocking levels and good buffering might be able to go weeks and be ok. Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Jager is pretty solid. All heaters fail at some point. I'm a fan of using a heater that isn't over sized, or two smaller heaters hooked to a controller. Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

They sell surface skimmers that hook onto canister filters. Worked very well for me, also cleaned up my duckweed. Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Yikes, they've not evacuated ya guys?

I did live bearers when i was in a similar situation, turned out to be a great choice for a couple of reasons. They bred easily which was fun and gave me an excuse to go to the pet store and chat when i had too many. They also move easily if you're forced to change homes again. Sent from my...

Ah nah, not me. A friend made this for me that I use sometimes though.

What's a lolpicer? Google failed me.

First, congrats on turning around a deadly tank! Silly question though, but you're adding prime (dosing for your total tank volume and ideally chlorine/chloramine levels) before adding tap water yes? Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

I'd not turn the filter off, get a sponge block from any fish store, stab it with a knife and slide it.over the inlet. Fry are very sensitive to chem changes. Just because a filter has some bacteria doesn't mean it has enough for two angel fish and a batch of fry. Sent from my LG-E980 using...

I couldn't figure out if ya used a pipe cleaner or an enema bag at first Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Instead of acrylic, which will bow due to moisture, the styrex light defusers work great. They're 5 bucks for a 4x2 foot sheet. Use an acrylic knife on the smooth side to score it so you get clean breaks. There's clear ones around, might be a bit harder to find though. Here's a link if my...

A 40 breeder is a good start. A hole saw and plastic shelves gives you a cheap but very effective wet\dry. Petco if you're in the states frequently has a dollar per gallon sale on small tanks. Sent from my LG-E980 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App
