yeeahboy

i had this problem last week. the water got so cloudy green you couldn't see anything. i did a 48 hour complete black out, coverd tank with blanket ( no peeking inside). this thined out the green water. then used algaefix treatment. water is now crystal clear, worked a charm

yea true, but whats the point in getting a fish then getting rid of it just as its big and your've become attached to it etc. but yea if you if you wanna do that go for it :roll:

the neons will be eaten by the angels n electric yellows most probably. I found out the hard way, 1 day i had 12 neons, 3 days later i had none

i bought a meter long led strip from the place on blenheim road for $7 (bargain) and a plug thingy $13, he'll sort you out. looks great. its near the corner of annex and blenheim roads, just a bit past the warehouse.

Hey need some advice on cure for fin rott. I may have found the cause for the fin rott which was poor water quality due to over feeding. (although i do weekly water changes and there is no food left over after feeding). I think it was a new flake food i was using which triggerd the poor water, as Ive had green water and also had some tiny white worms which both are caused by over feeding. So just wanting to know is there a medicine which works to cure fin rot. It is happening to 2 silver dollars which had some damaged fins when i bought them lfs. I have a 200l tank with 6 silver dollars and 20 neons. Thanks

just don't pour there water into ur tank. should be allright if your carefull, net the fish out of bag after you climatise it to ur water parameters

ah, how long was he out of tank for, my sae was hard so i just sent him to fish heaven

yes xnet is pretty good, they have a pay for what you use scheme so you will never be throttled to dial up speeds. also have a plan which gives you 75GB for free between midnight and 8am. (if your inclined to downloading big files)

As the title says i came home to find him dead on floor, the amazing part is he was about 2 metres away from tank and i have a lid which only has a small opening for the handle. Amazing accuracy on his behalf. Any one had this problem with SAE

sweet vid. did you find the amamzon 1

iv been wanting to get an arcrylic lid for my 120x40 tank, would also like to know were to get it from n cost

yes i have alot of circulation in tank, but the surface dosent get broken.

hmmm could be the phosphates, i just bought a new flake food brand which could be high in phosphates (Wardleys Tropical Flakes). And i could be guilty of over feeding. might try my old brand

I have a thin layer of scum on surface of water which when disturbed the scum starts sinking and make water look bad. Causing this scum could be any of the following: 1. I have a filter which doesn't disturb water surface, therefore letting bad stuff settle 2. I have been double dosing with flourish excel 3. i grow plants, so it could be some kind of algae Any 1 had a similar problem, is it just a matter of disturbing surface?

yes excel. you say a good fert is needed, I put jbl balls in when first planted. (is this a fert) i also have another thread about pmdd (is this a good fert).

ok i'm dosing flourish. just want to make sure i'm dosing correct amount. i've got a 200L tank, should i just follow directions on bottle (which says 5ml for 200L daily). What have you found to be the best and how often, daily?

yeah i'm dosing flourish excel at mo, just looking for cheaper and potentially better alternative. why would you not use this method again?

Heres part of an article about succesfuly growing plants in aquarium. What do u think, good idea? CO2 dissoves into (and escapes out of) water very quickly, so we need a way to produce bubbles of CO2 and to hold them in contact with a fast flowing stream of water so the CO2 has time to dissolve. CO2 is produced by yeast fermenting sugar into alcohol, so take a 2-liter soda bottle and fill it with lukewarm water to about 2" from the bottom of where the screw cap would be. Pour the measured water into a bucket and add approximately 2 cups sugar and 1/4 teaspoon baking yeast (e.g. Fleishmann's brand from the baking section of Safeway). Stir until both are dissolved, especially the yeast which is harder to dissolve than the sugar. Pour this stuff back in the bottle and fill to the point it normally would be filled with soda. Drill a hole in the center of the top of the cap which is just wide enough to tightly fit a piece of aquarium airline tubing into it, and glue the tubing into place with aquarium silicone sealant. Leave the cap off the bottle to dry for a day. Then screw on the cap and put the other end of the air tube into the intake tube of the filter, so that the CO2 will bubble into the filter. The CO2 may start bubbling the next day, or maybe not for up to 3 days. The bubbles get sucked into the pump propeller and some end up in the filter sponge where they slowly dissolve into the water where the plants can use it for photosynthesis.

OK THANKS FOR HELP, IF ANY 1 HAS GOT SOME TO SELL PM CHEERS
