I like the natural look a lot better... and have had just rocks and a plastic plant for the longest time. I added the decorations because I thought they would be great for my grandson, but the three pieces I put in my tanks all turned brown after several months, and scrubbing didn't help. So, to me ...

OOps forgot to add this in...

With the hoods I have on my aquarium (basic, like what you get when you buy a tank - not the good kind) and a tank that is 2.5'-3' tall, I will need to stick with the "low light" plants, right?

I just saw this... sorry I was looking for an email...

They seem to be hanging in there, in the fish bowl lol... please email me and I can send you my phone number so we can meet up or whatever.
Thank you!!!!

Well so now that my 29gal has been taken care of (per Gerwin's advice, ty!) I am left with one pleco, hence starting over. I want to be smarter this time, and have been thinking about all the issues I have run into. It seems to me that many of these wouldn't have been a problem if I had a) did more ...

Thank you


I need a book on all this stuff! LOL

I always did the drip with my SW fish.... guess it just didn't sink in that it was for pH... Thank you


Still... do yall think this is why most/many fish that die soon after being put into a tank, die? (if temp is fine)

So ... this begs another question (Sorry, pH shock is very new to me) If my tank's pH is fine, everyone in there is fine... and I get a new fish, what if the pH the newbie was in is more than 2 off of my tank? or 3? or? Is this why - if you do everything else right like floating them 15min etc - is ...

Oooo another question... Hope I'm not showing my "dummy" here... When I start doing regular water changes, does this now mean that I have to match temp AND pH (after the declor etc)? And if the pH doesn't match, then what do I do to raise it/lower it in the water I'm adding? How exact a ma...

Thank you for the reply... I will do what you suggest with the pleco and hopefully everything will even out... I can't get to you right now (work schedule conflicts with your schedule lol). As for water changes, I guess I have not been the best with water changes on the FW tank. Honestly, before get...

Well, he died... still, I have the pleco in there, who so far looks absolutely oblivious to all of this... I am worried though that whatever got them, will go for him next. Thought.. could the Moor have poisoned the tank somehow (he died while I was asleep, so could have been in there dead up to eig...

No rotten eggs.. smells like that healthy algae smell... I now have about two inches from the water line to the top of the tank. The filter is now dropping the water a little onto the surface. Air stone going (thinking of adding another one. It's small, but hey who knows). I've never lowered the tem...

So far it seems the products I put into the tank are not lowering the levels (per test strips). It has been about two hours.... He is now lying on his side at the bottom, Occasionally he is flittering around some, which is different from before (before he was just still). But he is on his side. It d...

I checked the ammonia, it was too high (3ppm). I got sidetracked on the oxygen theory and forgot to check that. So..... I added to the tank Tetra Easy Balance with nitraban.... supposed to reduce nitrates and stabilize everything(but ammonia), then five tabs of Ammonia Clear... all this after a 20 p...

Thank you for the input! No, the temp was adjusted, and they had been in there a least a week before the moor started getting worse... I hope I started the air in time. Hey guys if it is air, how long should it take for my parrot to come around? He is still the same... I forgot to add, the pleco see...

Well here I go again.... grrrr! First, let me say I got into SW kind of by accident about a year ago. I lost several beautiful fish to a dying anemone and then to ich that followed that stressor. Finally, a week or so ago, I decided that I did not have the funds to continue SW, and sold everything i...
