water

Is there anything else I need to add to pure RO/DI water for a Malawi cichlid tank besides the kent marine cichlid buffer (KH) and kent cichlid chemistry (GH)? I have some aquarium salt in the tank as well Thanks for any advice Sent from my iPad using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I have some projects in mind. Backgrounds, caves, hideyholes, etc. All need to be water proofed to go in my tanks. But what's safe? I looked at Drylok today but there are no clear options. I'd really like my water proofer to be clear so I can use my enamel and acrylic paints underneath for fine...

Has anyone ever tried these? I was thinking of getting a couple for my 29 gallon - one to put in the filter and one to place in a bucket to prep water for changes. They seem like an affordable alternative to an RO unit when dealing with smaller tanks.

So I put PFS in my 29 yesterday, and it was CLOUDY. I wasn't even allowed to wash it. Will this clear up?

Just curious if anyone uses this stuff. Pretty potent as 1 drop treats a gallon of water so this stuff is good for like 70,000 gallons of water and only costs 25 bucks (well almost, add something small and get free shipping) . I read the previous thread about safe and saw the suggestions about...

I've noticed at the bottom of my tank, there is waste building up around my rocks on top of the sand. Does anyone recommend to take the rocks out every so often to clean the sand bed? How often if so? There is two mounds of rocks so I could do one side and then 2-3 weeks later do the other side..

Anne Arundel County residents make sure you check your tap water readings. They base lines have changed.. Heck the rest of you outta check at least once a month as well. When I began keeping I measured my water parameters and from there established what I would need as far as SAFE, LAke Malawi...

I wanted to show you how quick and easy water changes are in my fish room. 6bB4I2cPud8

Currently, I drain my water changes into a shower in my basement, but I've read here about folks using pumps to drain the water in their yards. (I do this with my two small tanks on my first floor.) What kind of pump would I need to pump water into my yard? I'm guessing the water would have...

Water sprite is such an interesting plant that I wanted to share with you the varieties of what it can look like. It's usually a floating plant, which is how I've been using it since Sam (Avatar) gifted me some a while back. But it got pretty out of control and recently I decided to pull the...

We are looking at buying a new house - if I love my fish and want more, thousands and thousands of gallons more, should this be a deal breaker?

Sooooo here's my situation. In april i'll be going out of town for 6 weeks leaving only my wife to tend to my tanks (6 in total; 300g,90g,75, 2 40b, and a 10). Problem is she wants no part in doing any water changes while i'm gone. She actually told me i should get rid of all my fish and buy new...

I strive for the best living conditions for my tanks which have mostly Peacocks and Haps. I am curious what you guys/gals are using, if anything as far as buffers,salts, etc. I have an RO/DI water setup for water changes I add RO right to my water per instructions for africans. My Ph is around...

hello, can synodontis be kept in brackish water?

So anyone have any suggestions for an inexpensive pump? Just need something to get water from a 5 gal bucket to a tank 3 or 4 feet above it. Would be nice if it had adjustable flow rate. Just trying to make wc's easier on tanks that I am not using tap on. Also want to use it to set up a...

Was thinking of buying a water tank to get my water to temp and condition for my water changes. With an inline pump. Any ideas to build off of this or different ideas completely would be awesome. Its going in a filtration room/large closet. -Jet

Was just curious if anyone ever user their Deerpark water in their aquarium??? I tested it for hardness just for kicks and all it took was just one drop to turn the tester green ....
