Frequent water changes , or half changes ? A lot of water evaporates these days

[kl122]

The most effective I've seen is d drip system.... But water changes shud be around 35 to 50 percent... I do 35 twice a week and works fine for me

[aj_logan97]

Does anyone know what species of plant this is? Bought it in the pet store and just planted it in the tank. Haven't been able to find it online either. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

[bir123]

[aj_logan97]

Looking for small discus about 1 to 1.5 inches, anyone knows who have for sale?

[link]

remember, this started out as a 4-tank scale for a tilapia farm project......

[link]

1 - settling tank where all overflow goes first
2 - buffer tank - all overflow from settling tank passes through oyster shells. Some settling occurs here also
3 - 55-gal barrel with 1800 gph submersible pump recirculates water to tanks via pvc piping
4 - active 200 gal reserve (open valve) for submersible pump connected at floor level by 1-inch pipe
5 - pipe from 600-gal reserve tank (closed valve) connected to both pump barrel & 200-gal active reserve tank.
.
when a water change is done, a simple opening of the 600-gal valve lets clean water directly to pump intake. overflow water is simply discarded from top of pump barrel. Amount of water change is simply calculated by thirds of the 600-gal reserve tank emptied into pump barrel.
N.B.
further water reserve is an underground 15000 gal cistern (rainwater from house roof) pumped into system, either directly or into 600-gal reserve tank.
.
there are 12 tanks in all which are connected...few more separate...

@ turbosingh, marabella however location don't matter

[turbosingh]

A fish place recently opened Otaheite where Twisters sports bar.I saw some discus...

[DanielCW]

Yeh I know where it is, but are they small, I want to grow them out

[bir123]

Check pet shop boys they alwayse have discus and differnt sizes too

[cornfused]

Re Red Cap and Orandas . There is a fish guy in the bamboo. The quality and lack of diseases in his fish are good to great . He located on one of the last streets on the right . I have two sizable ones I grew from him with other smaller Orandas . An Oranda that is total length 8-9 inches and body only at 5 or so inches and a red and white Ryukin of similar proportions

[xxstitch69xx]

anyone have koi or goldfish to sell? about 1-2cm in size...looking for around 200.

[DanielCW]

Check chai fish farm, tuners I need some advice, recently bought 3 discus about 2", however one of them not eating, not looking stressed or sick but only picking on the plants not the color bits I feeding them. He also being chased by one of the other discus, any advice? Any food ideas?

[kl122]

Blood worms dan

[Kashman]

Sounds like it needs a dose of rock salt may have parasites. I agree with kl122 Bllodworms or Brine Shrimp to perk him up.

[Halfbreed07]

Remove him from the tank, and put him in quarantine with an air stone only, he's becoming the runt in the tank which is normal, but u don't want him to weak in that stressed state. Discus although not aggressive will usually have a pecking order in the tank.

[Kashman]

hello tuners, by chance anyone know where i might get a UV Sterlizer to buy locally and maybe in the south side of trinidad?

Pantin's Pet shop Picton Street, Port of Spain has tetra UV Sterilizer but i bought the same on on Amazon works like a charm no more green pond.

[Halfbreed07]

Chai also has inline ones at reasonable prices, only thing is your will need a power head to push it.

[DanielCW]

Where can I get the bloodworms to buy? And the question is should I leave him in the tank? The tank only has the three juvenile discus and a clay pot with an amazon sword, sponge filter and airstone. I have a planted tank but I doubt he will be able to compete with the tetras for food. Also they not chasing all the time it's just occasionally
