    Seemingly random thoughts during water exchanges...

    I love water exchange days. There is something...I dunno- visceral about doing something that you know is beneficial for your animals. It's not only a "feel good thing", it helps foster a sense of connection between man and nature. Or at the very least, it makes your tanks sparkle! I...

    Pump to get water out of tank

    I do daily WC on my aquarium and the most time consuming part is siphoning the water out using 25 feet Python solely based on difference in height. I wanted to know if I can just put the regular submerged pump on the outlet of the siphon ( which is not submerged in water) and power pump it...

    Tang water recipe?

    Hi, I'm wondering what people are doing for water for their Tangs. I've been mixing it in 5 gallon buckets with Arlington tap, plus 1tsp baking soda, 1tsp instant ocean salt and 1Tbsp Epsom salt. I just have pool filter sand for my substrate, but also have a bag of crushed coral in my HOB...

    Apistogramma Water Requirements

    So as some of you may know by now I breed dwarf cichlids and Apistogramma are my primary focus. While I provide them with soft acidic water I'm curious if anyone knows of a chart or some source that gives exact water specifications for each species?

    Pond plants - Lotus and Water Lilies

    Hi All, I've been working on some re-potting and dividing of my pond plants and have some extras to offer for sale. I've done a lot of research on specific types that stay smaller and are well suited to growing in tubs etc. These are all pretty different than what you might find locally. If...

    Use Caution with Water Conditioners

    Recently I learned a hard lesson that I am passing on here in hope that ours will learn from my mistake. I used Ultimate (Liquid) until they came out with New Pond. New Pond is a powder version of Ultimate that is stronger, allowing me to use less. All of the sudden around December Ultimate...

    Hi everyone, So as I'm sure many of you do, I am running a dehumidifier in my room almost 24/7. I was wondering if you would consider the water safe to use? Thanks for the help, Lucas

    FS: Placidochromis sp. 'Deep Water Hap' Pair

    I have a large pair of Deep Water Hap african cichlids available for sale. Male is about 6", female is probably 5". Female has held before, but no recent spawning, I think she needs a break from the constant attention and could use some female friends. Pair is currently in a 40 breeder...

    Fish geek math- petite water exchanges. Easy.

    Don't you just love water changes? Seems like I'm one of those weirdos who does. I am not even sure what the specific reason is...but I like doing them. It's like a "feel-good, tank bonding" ritual thingy for me, I suppose. I dunno. A habit. Not everyone shares my geeky enthusiasm about 'em...

    Whole house water filter Question

    I just bought a whole house water filter system from "Rain Soft"being installed tomorrow. It has a carbon filter and a conditioner . Is there any problem with using this water in my fishroom? There is also a RO unit being installed but that's at the kitchen sink only.

    Productive Water Change Day!

    Took advantage of the snow day. I called my buddy who has a snow blower and booked his appointment for Sunday when the snow stops. Because I don't have to worry about shoveling snow I was able to get some water changes done. I was able to do a 80% on my 120, a 75% WC on 5 of my 40Bs, and a 80%...
