Him eating the new sprouts would bother me too.

It's impossible to please everybody!

He's performing a valuable service cleaning up the plants!

They're cute!

I see. :good:

Well can't have apple snails if they eat plants. I'm gonna check out my LFS today and see what they have.

I was considering getting some snails, what do you think?

That's why I love aquariums, so many personalities!

Me too. Congrats on 40 years! :good:

They'll all warm up to it in time.

Glad to help! :good:

Bogwood decreases pH a little.

Sounds like you're doing the right thing. Best of luck! :good:

I have found removing the large diameter end piece on a traditional gravel vac and using the smaller diameter hose works even better on sand. The smaller diameter hose creates more suction than the large conventional end. Since what I want to syphon out is lighter than sand as soon as I get...

I have seen red warnings at a future time on occasion. But the levels did not reach the warning limit. This is probably based on a "better safe than sorry" algorithm in the software to bring your attention to a potential problem. For example, if there is a spike in temp, it would trigger a...

I use blue moonlights after the main lights go off from 8-10:30pm.

Adding adapters to my vac and kitchen faucet were the best modifications I ever made. Changing fifty gallons of water without a single bucket is great!

:good:

I used to have gravel and there was tons of junk under it! Have you tried a deep clean with a gravel vac?

Agree with 90% waterchange.

If you have a sand substrate I've heard gas can get trapped underneath? Cured by stirring up sand gently with a stick. It's a longshot.

Same thing happened to my Mopani wood. It just went away and didn't cause any problems.

Agree with fluttermoth!

Tiger Barbs can be fantastic fish when kept in a group of six or more. I've never had any of my Barbs nip any of their tankmates. Anything is possible. My Barbs can be great but another group of Barbs in another tank could be different. Shouldn't paint fish with a broad brush. Too many...

I would clean the tank, filters and do a 50% waterchange the day before. They should be fine a week without food.

No problem! :good:

The software issue with Seneye is pretty minor. If the software freezes a simple restart will correct it and the device still keeps track of data so no readings are lost. It may not be a necessity but it is definitely a cool gadget!

I'll ask and get back to you!

Response from Seneye: "The safe limit for NH4 is a bit of a strange one. You can essentially have as much as you want, provided that none of it is released into the water by a swing in pH (only a problem for highly stocked, high pH aquariums really). The thing is, because the seneye measures...

I'm waiting for a response from Seneye for the exact numbers. But with NH3 at 0.001 (perfect) there's no way NH4 could be at a dangerous level. Thanks and you take care too!

I don't know why they're called Green Tiger Barbs, mine are all Blue.

Oh...never mind...:blush:

All shrimp are alive and accounted for. Are you implying two weeks was not enough time for my fish to put together an attack plan and they're waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise in the future?

Not exactly sure of the upper limit but as long as it's showing it's "in the green" it should be good.

Type m.seneye.me into your phone's internet browser.

New Seneye mobile site is up! m.seneye.me Ammonium and Oxygen parameters added.

I'm surprised Tizer didn't catch that before you! :rofl: They are all still alive and growing, I swear! I must admit I thought I might have been releasing $12 worth of food a couple of weeks ago but none of my fish have messed with them. They were the 4 biggest my LFS had so I'm sure that...

Sorry for your losses...:rip: A Seneye may have prevented this by a warning light on the device, your computer screen, email and text message warnings.

I would get 6 of each variety. My Tigers are very well behaved.

Glad to help! :good:
