I use .5 mL of Seachem Prime per 5 gallons of tap water and it goes straight into the tank.

"Do Fish Hear?, what you think?" If you mean psychic mind reading abilities with humans - sure, why not. ;)

I'm sorry for raining on your parade and "ruining it". :devil: I'll be sure to wait until you have 10 pages of (the same) responses before I do it again. ;)

I recommend Aquarium Pharmaceuticals test kits. http://aquariumpharm.com/aqtest.html

Nice kits gents! My Pearl 7 piece is in temporary storage because of the "noise" factor but I didn't let that stop me. I recently picked up a Roland electronic kit and love it. I put on my headphones, favorite cd or XM radio channel and go to town. :D

I enjoy digital photography/photo editing, playing drums, and lately playing games from the Metroid & Zelda series.

I voted no but I go to my local library and read what they have. :book:

The only time my filters make any noise is when the water level is low and the water splashes on the surface.

35 gallon - AquaClear 200, UGF with AquaClear 402 power head 16 gallon - AquaClear 150 7 gallon - AquaClear Mini

The same message has only been up for 1.5 hours in the Catfish section though. ???? Your pleco is beautiful. I've never seen this type of fish before. If your camera was white balanced (assuming you are using a digital camera), the color would seen more natural by the way. :snap:

When it's on the glass can you tell if its belly looks full?

I'll give one more recommendation for AquaClear filters. In fact, I've been using the original filter for over 14 years now on my 35 gallon. :)

I have been using a 150 watt heater in my 35 gallon (US) for many years and that seems to be a good fit.

I like black phantom tetras. Especially the males when they show off by flairing their dorsal fin. I also enjoy the beautiful colors of my cardinals.

With no doubt my albino corys are my favorite.

I think that has something to do with the glass stopping them. :P

What filter do you have?

I was curious because I thought that shells would raise your pH to the upper end of the pH scale but yours doesn't seem all that high. ???? I thought that might have been your problem with the corys but I guess it wasn't. :)

akudewan, are those bits of crushed shell in your substrate? If so, I'm curious to hear what your pH is.

Fish love cheese too!

I would have to guess that the content would freeze at or near 32°F as water. My question would be; does the cold temperature effect the chemical properties that give accurate results? :)

I don't know very much about air pumps but could you add a brass or plastic gang valve and close the air output?

I think activated carbon will probably remove smelly organic compounds but your best bet is to do careful water changes.

Here's a picture of my 16 gallon (US). :snap:

I'm afraid I can't help with any food suggestions but I'm curious to hear what's causing Hikari's supply problem?

In two of my three visitherm heaters I need to have the setting 4-5°F higher than the actual temperature. This is no big deal since they keep a steady temperature at the adjusted number. The only way I know the actual temp is because of a thermometer. :)

That's the one I have. :/ MMMmmm. Fish beer. :beer: Thank you Inchworm.

Inchworm, I feed my corys the same product and notice that it seems to disintegrate quickly and the corys don't seem to get full bellys when eating it. I wonder if I'm using the same formula? Do you remember when they changed it?

An algae scrubbing pad and elbow grease. :flex:

I agree with the previous posts suggesting black. I use black substrate as well. I think keeping it simple looks best. B)

My pleco digs frozen lima beans. I peal off the shell, split it in half and drop it in. No blanching required.

I attach mine on the outside. I put the background under the lip of the top and bottom frame and use a small amount of cellophane tape on the sides to keep a clean look.

Here's what I found. Chelating Agent

~$8 I thought it would be good for my friend that needs that "nudge nudge, wink wink..." reminder since he's new to the hobby.

Has anyone used this (or other brand) sensor to detect/monitor ammomia? I have a friend who is thinking about fishkeeping and understands the importance of proper water conditions but I think some sort of visual aid would be helpful. Is it accurate? How long do they "really" last?

It seems like it will last a long time like the sponge insert. I've just been swishing it in old tank water (like the sponge) to clean it. I've also been using the media to help cycle new tanks.

- Catfish - Supercross - Rock

I would be happy with a 75 gallon (48" x 18" x 20").
