    Aquarium heater recommendations

    I have a 100 gallon long tank and am currently using a 200 watt Eheim Jager heater. What wattage and how many would you recommend for this sized tank?

    Older peacocks dying off

    I thought I would add that I tested the water, and nitrates were at 10, ammonia was 0-0.25, and the fresh water high range pH registered between 8.2-8.3. I don't think it's the water; I just hope I get this figured out before I lose any more fish!

    Older peacocks dying off

    I have an issue with a mystery illness that is killing off my oldest peacock cichlids. I also have Brichardis with babies, a spotted cat, and a plecostumus in that same tank with my peacocks. None of them are exhibiting these symptoms. The symptoms are a sudden lethargy, cloudy eyes, laying on...

    Problems in tank after adding Texas holey rocks

    I guess I wanted to take some of the old "plastic" caves and caverns out and add more natural rock for a more natural effect. I liked the fact that there was more hiding places with the holey rock for the fish. I had done so many water changes during this redecorating and then during the medical...

    Problems in tank after adding Texas holey rocks

    I think while I was doing all the "redecorating" in the tank, it may have possibly stressed out the fish and the spotted cats developed the velvet at that time. But as far as the medication goes, I had used something recommended at the petstore called ICH-X. Supposedly, it was safe for the cats...

    Problems in tank after adding Texas holey rocks

    I bought the rocks at a Petland in Illinois and when I bought them home, I immediately cleaned them. I scrubbed the heck out of the with really super HOT water. I have done lots of water changes since I have added them. The last water change I did, yesterday was about 75%. It has only effected...

    Problems in tank after adding Texas holey rocks

    I don't know if the fact that I added 6 large pieces of Texas holey rock to my tank is actually the cause of what I am experiencing or not, or just a coincidence of what has been going on. I have a one hundred gallon African cichlid tank with Peacocks, Brichardis, and some assorted cats and a...

    350 magnum filter question

    Oh, no!! I sure hope not!!! We replaced the clear plastic canister a couple of months ago, thinking maybe there was a hairline crack in it. When we clean the filter and check everything over, we didn't notice a problem with the impeller. Now I really am wondering. I will have to order a new...

    350 magnum filter question

    I have a leak at the bottom of my 350 magnum filter. I changed the o-ring on the filter a couple of months ago, but not the gasket. When the o-ring is shot, it leaks from the top rim. Could it be the gasket is now shot too? The large clear plastic cylinder of the filter is brand new, so I am...

    Peacock ID

    Thanks! I looked up Aulonocara hansbaenschi, and the pictures that I found looked just like the fish I have. They are really a beautiful fish!

    Peacock ID

    Could someone please tell me what kind of peacock I have here? It is the blue one that I'm talking about in the picture. He has a reddish area behind the gill plates. Thanks!

    Aquarium subtrate

    I have a 100 gal. tank that I was thinking of changing the subtrate from the aquarium gravel I have in there now to sand. I have African Cichlids in the tank. I have never had a tank with sand in it before, I have always used gravel. When I clean my tanks, I vacuum the gravel and add the fresh...

    Ich

    I have a 100 gal tank with assorted african cichlids, an angelicus cat, a spotted raphael cat, and a small plecostumus. One of my aceis appears to have ich on it, and I think some of the other fish look like they may have it, too. I want to treat the tank to get rid of the ich, but am not sure...

    Can't figure out what is going on!

    I keep my tank temperature at 78 degrees. I will for sure check out the plecos a lot closer before I buy next time. They appeared ok though. I did some reading on these plecos and I think the true name is the galaxy pleco. I see they do best with smaller fish, and I have small to medium fish...

    Can't figure out what is going on!

    What would a good diet for them be? I was feeding them the pleco disc food, romaine lettuce, and I feed the other fish cichlid pellets and spirilina flakes, occasionally brine shrimp, too. As far as good water circulation, I have 2 powerheads, one in each corner of the tank, and a 350 magnum...

    Can't figure out what is going on!

    Lately,I am having a hard time keeping plecostumuses alive. I have had them in the past, the last one I had in my 100 gal tank died of old age(I think). I had him for years with no problems. I hadn't had a pleco in a long time, and I started to get some algae in the tank so I decided to get...
