^very nice,what pump you using on that?

[evil_twin]

can anyone share their experience with using led's for a planted tank as opposed to fluorescent lights and using a t5 bulb? i am thinkin about buyin the marineland double led set up

[mojosodope]

I've been using the marineland double bright led or the past year or so, it grows dwarf sag, Anubias, swords and crypts pretty well, it will give you good low light - low/medium light.

Changing water in my discus tank last night nearly cost me all of my fishes in the tank. Siphon water like normal then started refilling the tank, was not paying attention to the tank till it was about half filled. When i looked at the tank the discus was moving differently and to me look like they were going on top of the water for air by that time my rummy noise tetras started dying.I knew it had to be something with the water.

By the time i got a container and filled it with a different supply of water, the discus were laying flat on the tank.Took them out and placed them in the container, sinking one by one as i placed them in the container. Got an air supply to the container and started shaking the fish by them self to see if they had life in them still. They would make a shake and swim off my hands, then drop back on their sides. At that moment i had a feeling they were all going to die.

After and hour or so i placed them in a tank, still not really moving but i cud still see their gills and mouth moving. Got up this morning to see most ok and moving around while 3 were still down breathing. Hope they recover by the time i get home this evening.

Tested the water ph and it read around 5 and normally it would be around 6.5 to 7. My guess had to be the drop in the ph that caused that.

What percentage change u did? I do 30% bi-weekly

[lancer3]

at first i used to change 95% 3-4 times a week, now i do 95% bi-weekly

[mojosodope]

That happened to me 2 days ago, did a 80% like I usually did and lost one of my rainbows, I'm going to buy an aging barrel, WASA not consistent these days.

[evil_twin]

i use a 30 gallon rubbermaid container as my aging tank with a powerhead with a srew on filter , never had a problem thus far

[bir123]

Want to set up ah lil breeding rack any body know where i could get some 24 ×12x 18 an
48 × 24 ×18 and a barral to age water in at a best price thanks

[kl122]

That a lot of water, I did 50% once and my fish were freaking out...my water was from a tank a few days old.....had to transfer them to my quarantine tank

[ryan99tt]

I wid not recommend such big water changes bcuz its really hard to hav water wit similar conitiond an take a while to stabalize...

X2

50% is the most I'd change at once.

[meccalli]

Planted guys do big changes all the time and are unaffected but here,,,can't take that chance. If i want to make a big change, i fill and let the 50 gal barrel sit for 3 days and change 25% everyday at a time.

[Ronnie203]

Anybody knows where i can get some adult rancu and red fantail gold fish to buy in the north/ central area? Must be good quality. Want 3 each. 2 males 1 female. P.M. me what you have

[Jerry84]

Another thing my mom is a plant freak and has a nice collection of lotus plants in a shallow pond my dad build for her. Recently we extended our garage to accomodate an additional car and the roof covered the pond so no sunlight at all. Is there a light i can install to attempt to replace the sunlight so the plants would be ok?

[HondaB20B]

^^^ why don't you just change the roof sheeting in that area to the see through sheeting.

[Regent]

Night crawler if you serious message mr the specs and I can give you a quote
