If the tap water is 8.5 that should have brought the PH up very quickly with 2 50% water changes. Odd.
-
I think all they're good for is the connection to the sink, otherwise, just run the hose out the door/window/whatever to drain it. YOu'll probably get more flow and not waste a million gallons of water doing it. Go to Mitre 10, you can get the right size hose for a buck or two a meter.

After my trip to aus(see what my tank turn into in 7days )

Looks WAY better than my tank. Or should that be -
Don't you have a spare tank laying around somewhere you could use?
-
It's a tone used for testing the speakers.
-
The over dosing isn't for the plants, it's to kill hair algae. And I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having problems with double dosing.
-
That's why I was going to do my moonlight. Just for looks. But it needs overhauled and I only see my tank in the dark 2 nights a week anyway, so haven't gottena round to it.
-
There aren't also any glass, powerheads, cannister filters, internal filters, air pumps, airstones, flouro lights, glass tanks, tetra bits, fish flake, brine shrimp, cichlid pellets, shrimp pellets, etc. And noone said they were good, just that they aren't particularly bad.
-
No way it would be 14, that high of PH would have killed and burned up the fish by now. And salt doesn't effect PH. The medications might be effecting the test. I think whitespot cure makes the water blue anyway, doesn't it?
-
That's basically what most moonlights are.

Fans are pretty cheap, just like desktop fans or box fans. I've got a box fan with rotating louver thingy sitting behind my tank blowing across the top. Works great AND keeps the MH pendant nice and cool. Cost $15 I think at the warehouse.
-
Haha, I'm not stressing. I'm not really hugely worried if they do survive or not. Could be the amount of flow there is why they did it. Only way I can change that is to move an internal filter to point where I want them to lay. Not an easy job.
-
Heh, non fish people are a pain. Like my housesitter last time I went on vacation called up and said, "One of your fish died." "Which one?" "I dunno, it's silver!" I don't have any silver fish....
-
Nah, didn't even think about it. Maybe tomorrow if they survive that long.
-
An oddpair too. Assuming the eggs are fertilized. 5" long female and a 2" long male...

I can't think of a good way to attach a pot to the side of a branch of driftwood 6 inches off the ground. Probably you meant the eggs on the sand? They're scattered over the entire bottom of the tank and I'm not sure I'd be able to get them all shuffled into one spot to put a pot over them. They're about 3 feet down. I don't think the tetras in the tank can eat them anyway, to big for their mouths. We'll see, the pleco will probable eat them though.
-
Something like this? Golden sucking loach.
-
The bristlenoses in my tall tank laid eggs...But...I dunno what they were thinking, instead of laying it in a nice little cave we bought specifically for them...The eggs are stuck to the side of a piece of driftwood out in the open! They eggs are even scattered all over the sand. Stupid fish. I'm not going to try and save any of this batch of eggs, though. The next batch I'll try to save.

Look at it this way, if you set up just a plastic tub as the sump, all that's going to cost you is about the cost of 1 frag.
-
Yeah, definitely go with a sump if you can.
-
Definitely pontideriifolia. Well, assuming the stuff in my tanks that I think is pontideriifolia is pontideriifolia.
-
I'd assume not, otherwise she'd have known what tunzes are.
-
Fish aren't that jumpy once they've gotten used to it. I can bang on my cichlid tank and all they do is glare at me.
-
It doesn't take any more time than it would with imageshack. Just upload and link it.

It's australian for discus cone...
