issue

Okay, so, among my many tanks, one of them is a 40 breeder for a solo flowerhorn... I never thought I'd own a flowerhorn, but here I am... owning one. LOL... anyway, I have a strange issue with it. Every time I feed him, a bad odor comes from the tank after a few hours. It can get pretty...

I am a having a hard time controlling snail population in my tank...just too many and I am afraid that at some point it will start affecting my fish. I have tried picking them out, 100s at times, but that is not a solution and they catch up to their high numbers within 2-3 days... What I...

I have brown algae on my vals and crypts and a thin layer of bright green on my plants closer to the top (christmas moss and ciliata). I am thinking about treating with the plant safe api algaefix. Read online not safe for inverts. Would this include mts? Maybe adjusting the light? What would...

I have a large sweet piece of driftwood in an awkwardly tall 150g tank. Nice piece with tons of drilled holes for fry and other shy tank inhabitants. This piece of driftwood has turned into an algae machine of biblical proportions. At this point the tank is bare excepting Algaezilla. I...

I just got the Feb issue of TFH...and there's an advertisement for AquaMania 2 (The Big Fish Deal) on page 40! Thanks to our Platinum Sponsor Li and MFK for making this happen! If you haven't yet registered for AquaMania, please do before the meeting on Saturday. You never know whether...

Figured post a link to the magazine Lee Nuttall puts together. Oh, and yours truly was able to make a photo contribution. http://issuu.com/nuttycichlids/docs/central_scene_5

I am wondering if I am having an issue with my tank. I did a water change about 3 weeks ago on my 55 gallon tank that has 5 angels and a mickey mouse platy in it. A couple days after doing the water change my mickey mouse platy died. I just did a water change on Thursday this past week and...

So today I noticed that my ac70 and my penguin 200 on my 55 were both dead. All I could think of was that maybe power went out and the filters fried. I replaced them and I is now fine. What do you think happened. The tank was without filtration for @4 hours. Any ill effect to that?

Well, the Fuval heater is set for 77F. Yesterday it was in a dead spot and it kept blinking "LF", so I got an extension cable and moved it to the opposite wall where there were two filter outputs. All was fine until this morning. Heater was red and saying the temp was 79F! Not too bad, but the...

I have one cory out of my school that has been showing some wierd syptoms. It looks like he/she has fungus in its mouth (looks like it has a full mouth all the time) It has not been acting wierd other than not eating for the past few days. The fungus has not spread on to any other part of its...

I have a 200g malawi mix peacocks and haps, my tank has been cycled for a while now, but I can't seem to get the ammonia below .25ppm, the nitrite is 0ppm, nitrate somewhat higher, but mostly from the well water having high nitrates. Any ideas on why i can't get ammonia to 0 ppm, I do regular...

The current August issue (Issue 8 August '10) of Practical Fish Keeping magazine has some great articles in it. The one that caught my eye immediately was on the cover it mentioned an article by Heiko Bleher on Iranocichla hormuzensis. Then, after buying it, I found an awesome article on...

Has anyone had any issues with any AV series air pumps turning off because of overheating. My pump is less than a year old and turns off several times a day for about 25 minutes then turns back on. I called WON Brothers and they said it's the thermal protection switch kicking in to protect the...

or: Why I Spent Fourth of July Watching For Fish Poop EthanFish and I are pretty new to cichlid keeping; we have had our tank up for about 3 months now. Yesterday we had our first fish health issue, which I think we navigated successfully enough that I won't be quite so worried about fish...

I just bought a new 40 breeder to go on the bottom rack of my Titan-ez metal stand. The tank does not sit flat, it teaters from the front left corner to the back right corner about an 1/8 inch. Is this a defective tank? Will this be OK or will it stress the glass and cause a crack? Titan-Ez...

1) It's all about cichlids (even the Planted Tank article talks about cichlids for planted tanks!). 2) Your picture might be in it. 3) Li donated a half-page ad for CCA! (see #2) Seriously, it's a great issue, and if you don't subscribe, you should pick up a copy the next time you're in...

Apparently because of rain, the olive nerites could not be shipped this week to the guy who is the supplier for the group buy. Only about 200 are currently available. He said that he can ship what he has and then I can get teh rest for the next meeting, he can refund, or we can wait to get all...

I made a group but didn't upload a pic for it, figured I'd do it this afternoon. When I went to the edit feature for the group, it wouldn't allow me to do the edit. This is the message I got: Lively, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several...
