Wow I've missed a lot. What version of IPB are we running now?

Also make sure to use small pouches of carbon at the first sign of slight discoloration afterwards

I just did a water change and a reducing of carbon in my fluval 204 on my 20 gallon. When I took out the sponges and carbon for cleaning with tank water, there was this dark tinge of red to my water. I guess that carbon was packed so tightly the water didn't go through???

Your under filtred. There is another member on the cichlid forums with a tank the same size as yours. However he is running 4-5 canisters. Try something like that. In big tanks like that you would want 10-15 times of rotations with the filters.

Cannot remember, but you can check Drfostersmith.com I am sure the have it. But if I were ou try to not look for a quick fix.

Yes, keep shrimp or a ADF

Yes, when you change your water, some bacteria are killed. If you do too many changes, it somehow gets your tank to do a mini cycle, or in your case a bacteria bloom Oh forgot to ask, how long has the tank been setup, stats, and fish. You may be experiencing NTS or New Tank Syndrome

You know it's funny, you ask a question and when you get the answer to it. You give our own philosophy on the question. If you knew so much, why did you ask in the first place? Unless you wanted to start a flame fest.

If petsmart told you to eat crickets would you? That is way too much of a load for a tank that size. Large goldfish need a minumum of 15 gallons each. And Ple*o are huge wastemasters

OMG VERY NICE GUPPY!

How about this. Since it seems whatever advice they are giving you, you try to make up utter BS to get yourself out. Why don't you go to a few forums ask the same stuff, do some research. Your tank may have the same capacity as any other 30 gallon or so, but it isn't going to be able to keep as...

You might have problems with the guppies and angels. I know that tetras are natural food in the wild for angels but gupies might be victimised. Since I used to keep angels and they ate 24 guppies I hard purchased for 5 bucks from a guy. Gone the next day witht heir stomachs full, and dead bodies...

I like fast reply saves time

I had a maroon clown, it was the only one not get sick. Though when people came to watch the tank he would take the spotlight like a burlesque dancer and waves his entire bod in front of everyone. Loved that fish, sorry to give it away. Anyone ever have a fish like this?

:lol: Funny Had the same problem Well, your making a great choice getting dwarfs. Wise word, I have seen a few so called reef safe angels pick at stony and soft corals. If your looking for an angel with a funny character, get a bicolor. However, it seems bicolors have a knack for...

When I was doing saltwater I did not go by inches;gallons. I would look at body mass. For example I had 1 yellow tang a clown chromis and a few gobies. I gave each fish 13-15 gallons. It really depends, on how risky you want to get

It's your average dalmation. Coll little fish, I have seen one that only had one blotch. But was being sold for 10 bucks!

Or you can get a betta with a ADF or house 2 ADF correct me on the size requiremnt for ADFS

What I have done for small 5 gallon hexes I had around was float a small cheese cloth type of thing with hikari krill and some pellets until it would rot and cause ammonia. Plus I find it this way you can easily control bacteria levels.

pic?.

try the liveaquaria.com FW section

Yes, I just give a quick suck and let it rip.

Saed, That is what I call retards in this hobby of ous. BTW what is your nationality?

Checkred barb?

This is most and complete utter BS. I feel this is a prank

A pully system would work great. BTW make sure the stand is level before you put the tank on. And if there is a gap between the middles put styro foam or something

Feed my fish tiny portions 4-5 times a day. Something they can consume in 15 seconds or less.

Thank you for proving me right in a educational way. I knew it was a bowed stand since he said the middle would not be flush

I've got scales on my tiger barbs unless you have a whole new species please tell...

Re-read what you wrote chris. You said the bottom four corners of the tank were flush with the tank stand. Except the middle. Even if it did show levelness, that middle part will still exert pressure my friend.

[austin powers] That is friggin cool! Maybe we should put frigging lazer beems on their heads![/austin powers] Congrats, I tried hard to get mine to spawn. Never did

I've never seen that bottom plastic support bracket ever touch the glass. I would be worried if it did. That's their to minimise or eleminate bowing of the tanks glass. Also theres your broblem hombre', it's not Petco's nor Petsmarts responsibility to check all the stands. Your stand bowed...

I hate it when I know my Petco only feeds the fish once a day and they somehow manage to say plump. I hate it when Petco execs ask me what type of system I have. I rarely buy fish from them at all! Maybe once or twice a year. However I would love to rave about Jose my lfs guy. Guys has rock...

Well from what I read the author did not mention anything on how long it had been set up and I figure it must be a new tank. I have always aimed for 75 degree water.

Well this is coming froma 16 year old. Disease in tropical fish is usually caused by stress. Along the lines of you loveing to spook the fish way too much, injury, bad water quality, ammonia, chlorine, Nitrite, and huge high levels of Nitrate. Ick or white-spot disease is usually the most...

You do understand, it's not Petsmart nor petco who make the tanks? Did you ever wonder that there might be many comapnies creating tanks? Did you ever check if the tank was level? How much did your rocks weigh in total. Anyone here knows if you are going to be putting in heavy rock you would...

No bacteria enzyme has shown proof. However Bio-Spira is a live culture that does work. Some members like me have found Cycle by Hagen to work also. It just depends if the product is in a fridge. I am lucky since my lfs gets it cold and puts it in the fridge. And I can say that I have used both...

Having a bad habit of training the fish to eat out of my hand

I had a problem like this once. The clown loach ios trying to consume the slime coat of the other fish; Just like how the siamese chine easer does
