Hello, I setup a new 10 gallon column tank on October 20th and i'm doing a fishless cycle. I used 10% ammonia and dosed it to 4 ppm (2.7ml) and it hasn't dropped any. My API Master test kit results are: PH 8.2 Ammonia 4ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate 0ppm GH 107.4 KH 89.5 Current temp in tank...

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it

I'm planning on adding some water wisteria to the tank also. Would the airstone remove some of the co2 in the tank?

Hello, I currently have two aquaclear 20 filters on my second tank at the ends but the middle of the tank has no water movement. I want to create a small current for the zebra danios I will be getting. Would this be ok for them?

My tank just got done with it's fishless cycle. I want a pretty low maintenance tank and was thinking about getting 10-12 zebra Danios and 10 ghost shrimp. I'm currently running a Oase 100 FiltoSmart Filter and a Aquaclear 20. My questions are, are Danios or the ghost shrimp messy at all?

Thanks so much this has really helped me out!

Hello, I set up my 5.5 gallon tank two weeks ago and i've been using 10% ammonia keeping it at 4ppm in the tank. The last few days the ammonia keeps dropping to zero and the nitrites are dropping a little bit each day. My question is is it normal for my nitrates to stay at 5.0 ppm although the...

Thanks for your reply. The following results are from my tap water using the liquid api tests Ph 8.2 Kh 107.4 ppm Gh 143.2 ppm

Hello, I bought two new 10 gallon tanks today which I will be doing a fishless cycle on both of them. I know this is going to take a while but i've thought of two stocking lists today. Would the following be ok? Tank #1 10 neon tetras 1 halfmoon betta 6 ghost shrimp Tank #2 6 male guppies...

Thanks so much for your helpful reply. I have a few more questions My api master test kit doesn't have a 3ppm for ammonia so is there a way to tell if it's 3ppm on this kit? Would I have to put the same amount of ammonia in everyday? Would a medicine dropper be ok to use for the ammonia?

Hello, I'm about to set up a 5.5 gallon tank and I need a little help. I bought some 10% pure ammonia (couldn't find any stronger) and i'm just wondering does anyone know how much I would have to add to get a reading of 4ppm?

Hello,   I am moving 15 minutes away from where I like now and I need to move my 55 gallon tank. I know how to keep the bacteria alive but my questions are how much of the tank water should i keep and would my fish be ok in a bucket with a portable air pump?   Thanks!

Would it still be overstocked if I give these fish to a friend... 2 - Gourami 8 - Harlequin Rasbora and knock the regular neon tetras down to 6?

The fish I have are: 6 Lamp Eye Tetra 8 Black Skirt Tetra 8 Harlequin Rasbora 9 Glowlight Tetra 10 Neon Tetra 6 Black Neon Tetra 4 Dwarf Gourami 1 Bushynose Pleco I will not be adding any more!

He kind of look like this: http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/_species.php?species_id=2437 But he's more white. The the biggest danio is about 2 inches and the others are 1 1/2 inches Also the tank measurements are: 30 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 18 3/4

I have a rubberlip dwarf pleco. I will be setting up another 55 gallon in April should they be fine until then?

My tank has been stocked for a week now and just want to make sure I am not overstocked. I am not getting any more. I am running two aqua-clear 50 filters on the 29 gallon tank. My stocking list is: 8 giant danios, 6 black skirt tetras & 1 dwarf pleco

I've had black skirts before and I've never seen them nip so this is new to me ;) I've bought 60lbs of black moon sand would this be good for the cats?

I will be stocking my 55 gallon tank soon and want to make sure this stocking list would be fine. 6 black skirt tetras 12 rummy nose tetras 6 silver hatchet fish 4 peppered cory catfish 2 flame dwarf gourami 1 dwaft pleco

thanks to both of you for the great info.

8 zebra danio's 6 bloodfin tetra's 5 panda corydoras 5 otos Is that to many fish for a 30 gallon tank? If it is can you please tell me how many of each to get? I do not want to over stock my tank.

Can someone please give me a list of rocks that can go into fish tanks? I went to this rock place yesterday and they are selling lava rocks for 18 cents a pound. They also have a ton of other cheap rocks that I like but i'm not sure if I can put them in my tank. Thanks Dano
