Welcome to the group. Lots of useful info here. ... If I were getting a used tank with the fish, I would try to move them as little as possible. I'm guessing...
Tim, In regards to restructuring RO water for use in fish tanks, there is an article in the Uniquaria site on how to do that. The article is by one of our...
thanks Ginacarlo, now that leads to another question. whenever i turn off my filter to clean, it takes several minutes for the pump to get started back up...
My filter always takes a minute or so to get going again and it doesnt have any damage. As for that EasyBalance, it sounds like something for someone who is ...
A couple weeks ago I bought new light fixtures for 4 of my tanks. I previously had less than 1 watt per gallon and my plants were barely growing, even the...

Do guppies, as in feeders need heated water or can they just be in natural water? My second heater broke today when I was doing a water change. It got...
Ann, I have found that "bird block" which you can buy at any hardware store or Wal-Mart, works better than the plastic mesh, the holes weren't large enough and...
If you didnt open it and still have the receipt, see if you can return it. ann "Lauren D." <vamprel@...> wrote: yeah that's what i was thinking. i bought...
I am not sure about feeders but I know fancy guppies do. As for the heater situation, you never want to remove it from the tank while it is plugged in or even...
Nancy, I don't think you have too much light. IMO it's too much fertilizer! If you have more nutrients than the plants actually need, then the algae grows....
Lois, I haven't been adding any fertilizer to the water -- just the root tabs every 3 months. I used Flourish Excel (carbon source). Shouldn't I even add...
Just a note.... I was trying this also.. and my first attempt to start some moss (thank the lord it was not in an actual tank).. was to use "pet proof" window...
Ann, Here is a link to some great instructions w/pictures. It is from another board that I frequent so I hope that this isn't against the rules, if it is I...
Hello all, Could someone please advise Nancy as to the amounts of nutrients (micro/macro) to add to her plant tanks? Keep in mind the results she gets from the...
Here's the link with the one i seen using Christmas moss (scroll halfway done page to see it) http://www.nature-aquarium.com/xmas.htm I am still going to go...

Hi Nancy, will try to give a little help here. First off is the tank heavily planted and when you usually see this type of problem a few things have happened....
Yep, aquariumplants.com I have also heard of the other one, it's probably a nice company, too. The aquariumplants.com people were so exceptionally nice to me...
Can a 37-gallon aquarium use a metal stand that is represented as a 29- gallon stand? The 37-gallon has the same footprint as the 29-gallon but I am unsure I...
My Feeder Guppy colony lives in an outdoor pond in summer. In Winter they live in a tank with no heater - the temp is probably 67 to 73F. This colony has been...
Pat, Please share with the group once you get it finished. I had terrible luck with the plastic mesh, but I think it was a patience thing, LOL. I do agree ...
As for the stand, I am going to say most likely yes. I have a 25 gallon on a wood stand that was made for a 20 gallon and have had no problems. I have also...
I have a group of Rams which lately appear to be having a problem that I'm not sure what it is. The tank is just Rams with one Queen botia. Peat added to the...
Hard to say, I don't see it like 1/3 every other week = 1/6 every week. The point of waiting is to wait for the nutrients to stop escaping from the disturbed...
