i just remove a bunch of that Valisneria and plant some Cabomba and am working on a diy co2 system will post some more pics when done

I would like to add some different plants I had some money wort and some red plants (cant remember the name) that didn't do well, even my Java fern doesn't get much growth

Hey everyone been a while since my last post, my question is it worth it to upgrade my lights to t5s? I currently run 2 20 watt t8s and dose with flourish excel daily and my plants are just not lush and green like i see everyone elses. I'm looking at a kit called Aruba Sun T5 Low Profile Retrofit Li...

well i tested the water right out of my tap and it was right around 5-10ppm so i guess thats the explanation, so far no ick so all is good, thanks for all the help

Update - It's been 48 hours since my last clown died 20% w/c and salt and dosing with rid-ick so far so good all fish seem to be fine, one thing that puzzles me is my nitrate levels seem to be slightly elevated 10ppm, its usually around 5, after doing 2 weeks straight of w/c's i would think that lev...

Ok to update my situation, its been 24hrs since I found the last 2 loaches dead yesterday, so far so good the mollies and danioes and bn pleco all show no signs of ick gonna do wc and re-dose this am and keep up the salt dose

ok will do thanks again for the help

thanks for the help well i pulled out everything but my live plants and vacuumed the hell out of it especially where i found the dead fish (which by the way were side by side, so sad) did a 40% w/c and added full dose of meds and slowly am adding salt, I'm also wondering if i should keep the light o...

Well the last 2 clowns died, what a shame, I dont know what i could have done differently, I need some advice on what to do now, since i noticed the ick 9 days ago none of my other fish (3 mollies 3 zebra daioes) have showed any sign of it and still don't should i continued to treat my tank for a co...

So here is where I'm at, lost another clown this morning, yesterday i began using the Kordon's half dose in the am half in the pm, last two loaches are just loaded with it, but the other fish have none, weird. If I end up losing these last 2 clowns do i continue to treat the tank even if other fish ...

Well i lost one of loaches this afternoon and two more are hanging out in the log where i found the dead one, funny thing is the 3 mollies and the 3 zebra danioes are showing no sign of ick, I,m at a loss as to what to do now maybe a U.V. filter? I also switch to the kordons

Ok just to update 7 days now 20% water change everyday and re-treatment, temps are at 82-85 and they still have it, its not worse but about the same, I'm on my second box of tetra ick gaurd wondering if i should quit using that, and start with Kordons Rid-ich plus disease treatment and what would th...

Hi everyone this is my first post, years ago I was really into aquariums and when i bought my house, because of lack of time and funds I got out of it, now recently my love has re-kindled in the forum of a 32 gallon tank,(I know its to small for clowns, I'm working on that one) let me tell you it's ...
