I have a planted 36G, CO2 Injection, 3.3 WPG, tank with hair/fuzz algae. I am going to try the EI method to control this. It has also been suggested to me that since most of my plants (swords, corkscrew val) feed off the substrate, that there are too few plants removing nutrients from the water...

I am thinking about adding 4 Siamese Algae Eaters to my 36G Tank to help control Fuzz Algae. I currently have 36 fish 10 neon tetra 6 black neon tetra 3 black tetra 6 red minor tetra 5 blue tetra 6 peppered cory The question I have is whether adding more fish would overstock this tank? The...

The tank is two months old. Note: Phosphate was .05 rather than .5. I also have a 65W 10000K lamp as part of the lighting. I know that some say this may contribute to algae. Should I change it to a 6500K?

I have noticed that the 10G Aquariums on the AGA site generally have at least twice the lighting that usually comes with those tanks. I would say 15-20 Watts for a 5G.

Yes, I have 4 swords, 1 anubias nana, 2 crypts, 15-20 corkscrew val, & glossistigma. The plants seem to be doing well, but there is quite a bit of fuzz algae on the plants. The ammonia kit has never registered lower than .25, but I would say it is between 0 and .25. When it is that low it is...

Anybody Use Algone? I have Fuzz Algae I am trying to get rid of. GH=8 KH=6 PH=6.8 Ammonia=.25 Nitrite=0 Nitrate=10 Phosphate=.05 CO2 Injection WPG=3.33

The hood has a 15W fluorescent Light. I plan on keeping only male guppies.

My nephew gave me a unused 10G tank. My wife likes fancy guppies so I decided to go with the guppies. I set the tank up with black moonsand, large driftwood decoration, black background, biowheel filter, heater, and a deluxe all-glass lighted hood. There will be no plants. The tank is now...

I have had the same problem. I found that the bubble counter was actually causing the problem. When I removed the counter and added a check valve in-line the needle valve output stabilized.

I just noticed that 1 or 2 of my cories (I have 6) seem to have orange faces. It is hard to see because they seem to hiding most of the time. The Cory's that I normally see out and about feeding look normal. What could this be?

I have a 10G tank sitting unused and I plan on setting it up soon. I was going to paint the back black and use moonsand for the substrate for effect. I was thinking about using plants that do not have to be rooted in the substrate such as java fern, java moss, anubias, maybe a marimo ball or...

approximately 73-79F

The filter pads for biowheels have some carbon between the layers of filter material. Check the marineland site.

When I bought my tank the dealer sold me a light fixture that has a 6500K 55W CF and a 10000K 65 CF. The tank is deep (24"). I have seen some opinions that the 10000K may not be quite right for my tank. Also, I have a few patches of BGA starting. Any Suggestions or Comments? 36G Bow Planted...

I have: 36 Gallon Half Bow Tank CO2 Injection 55W CF 6700K 65W CF 10000K Magnum 350 Filter 30 Various Tetras 6 Cory's KH=6 GH=8 PH=6.9

Is there a problem if you stock only females so there are no fry? I am thinking of getting some guppies or platies for my planted 10G.

My 36G tank is a month old and I have planted cabombas, some swords, corkscrew vals, java ferns and a anubias on a piece of wood. The green algae is mostly gone and the plants are starting to look pretty good. The leaves on the anubias had heavy infestation of algae that is now mostly gone...

I have the Coralife Aqualight Retrofit Kit which includes 1 True Actinic 03 Blue 65W and 1 10,000K 65W Daylight Compact Fluorescent Lamp. My 36G Bowfront is about 18" high. It is a freshwater planted tank. Is this an appropriate setup for this tank? Should both lamps be on at the same time?

My Nephew gave me his unused 10 Gallon setup. I have a 36 Gallon Bowfront Planted Tank with a soil substrate with a gravel topping. I plan on placing Java Moss and maybe a few Java Fern in the 10G tank. Since there will be no plants directly in the substrate, should I place a soil substate at...

I checked the PH with a kit when I got home and sure emough the sensor is way off base. Need to get some calibration fluid and reset.

I have a regulator w/solenoid valve attached to a Milwaukee SMS 122 pH/CO2 Controller. I calibrated it when I installed it. but will check it again tonight.

I have been having trouble with my CO2 system since installing it. The sensor currently reads PH=8.8. I tried one of the 5 in 1 test strips I had and the PH<=6.4. After work I am going to the store and get a PH test kit. Maybe the sensor has been bad all along. How accurate are the test strips?

I placed the co2 hose in the intake tube for the filter

I raised the flow to 5-6 bub/sec. The tank is not fully planted yet. Right now there is a Anubias, a couple of mondo grass and a val. Maybe there is to little veg to be using the co2 yet?

Yes, I did calibrate the sensor. I am not using a diffuser. The PH is still not dropping but seems to have stabilized at 8.7. I am turning the co2 off at night.

36G Bowfront Magnum 350 Filter Automatic CO2 Injection 17 Tetras 5 Corys KH=8 GH=8 PH=8.5 This week i installed the co2 injection, the salesman said that the bubble counter was not needed. I set the system to PH=6.8 and turned it on. I later noticed that large amounts of co2 were being added...

Yes, the system has a PH sensor. The adjustment on the needle valve is very senisitive.
