Just a little preview for y'all. With this shoulder injury (torn rotator cuff) I'm frequently having to take small breaks to rest and just say OUCH 🤬!! Even while pushing thru most of the pain it still takes FOREVER to do the smallest task. I'll be lucky to finish up today. :/

Good morning!! Yesterday afternoon I added the Seachem Neutral Regulator. After 2 hours, checked the PH, it went from 6.0 to 6.6. Checked it again at 8pm, it was 6.4 and KH was 3 or 53.7. This mornings parameters: Amon 1 NH3 .0006 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 PH 6.0 KH 2 or 35.8 Temp 76.1 Getting ready...

I currently have these items on hand. Which would be best? Baking Soda API PH UP Seachem Neutral Regulator With all that I've read about "don't chase your PH", this makes me anxious 😬

It was taken directly from the tap.

Feeling soooo defeated right now!:/ My poor babies are not happy. This morning ALL of them were active swimming around in CONSTANT search of a snack 😋. And now... I'm looking at little white specks scattered around just sitting on top of black sand. And the Dojos looking like cut up noodles lol...

Here are the most current params as of 6pm PST. Amon .5 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 PH 6.0 Temp 74.8 I also tested KH. The below pic is 1drop, 2drops and 3drops. I'm not sure exactly what this means so if I could get some direction, it would be much appreciated!😊

Good morning and Happy Labor Day!! It's 6am here in Southern California. I've been up for about an hour now (thank you for that Sir Squeeks Alot, my mini panther). :zz🐈‍⬛ Here are this mornings parameters: Amon .25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 PH 6.4 Temp 75.2 NH3 .0003 PH has dropped significantly. I...

Lights have been off all day. I did actually pour it in both the water and the intake of both HOB's. ✅✅ I've learned so much from not only this thread, but some much older ones in the forum that I came across on the same subject matter. So THANK YOU to all of you for being here and sharing...

Thanks so much for your thoughts! The pic with the 3 tubes are actually my Tap water results. So crazy! I can't stand the taste of it :sick: bottled water only over here. :thanks::thanks::thanks:

Thanks so much for all of this info!! Very helpful indeed! Well, I did end up doing a 50% wc (prior to opening the forum) using only the API tap water conditioner. I Also added some Dr Tim's BB. I like to keep some on hand in the fridge. I tested about 2-3 hours afterwards. For all water...

This my tap water reading. So crazy!

Nope I'm definitely not adding any ammonia. I actually try to use the least amount of chemicals as possible. I'll do another wc in the morning and just let it do it's thing like you said. Thank you. My poor babies... I feel horrible 😞

PLEASE HELP!! Here are the results: Amon. 5 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0? PH 6.0 Temp 70.3 KH 71.6 GH 358 I'm at a loss. This PH is soooo frustrating! What should I do? Another wc? How much? 😭😖😣 EDIT: Adding amon calc info.

THANK YOU for all of this very helpful info!! Definitely made me "less crazy" lol I think what happened is the lack of proper maintenance due to dealing with a shoulder injury. I had been regularly testing the water and everything was fine. Until it wasn't :/. The PH kept dropping downto 6.0 and...

Typically, when refilling the tank, I use buckets to treat the water and then pour it in. The other day, I treated the tank first and then filled it directly from the tap. I've done this before without any issues. Well stupid me, instead of turning the water off first, I turned the filters back...

Hi! So I screwed up and crashed my cycle a couple of days ago while preforming a large wc. I've added Prime and Stability. I will also be adding Dr. Tim's BB this afternoon as soon as it's delivered. I currently have 2 AquaClear 100's and a very large sponge filter in my 75gal freshwater tank...

Hi! This is my 75gal that currently houses 5x Golden Dojo Loaches, 8x Albino Corydoras and 2x Albino Bristle Nose Plecos. They love the floating plants and I like them too. My question is, do I have too much floating? Is that even a thing? Is there any harm? Thanks for being here!

Hey y'all happy new year!! I feel like my tank is sooooooooo boring right now (meaning fish activity). I currently have a 75gal freshwater tank with black sand and background that houses 3 Dojo Loaches, 10 Cardinal & 10 Neon Tetras and 2 Albino Bristlenose Plecos. I purchased the Tetras as I...

Sorry for the late response but just wanted to say thanks y'all for your info! Much appreciated!!

Thanks for your response! I do have alot of filteration going on for sure, I think I do that to try to relieve my anxiety. I just love watching my "fish TV", it's peaceful and soothing for me. However, keeping them safe and happy makes me feel like a crazy pet mom sometimes! There's a guy on...

Hey y'all! I am currently running 2 Aquaclear 110's in my 75 gallon freshwater tank. When shopping for the filters, one of the requirements for me is that it had to have a flow control option, which these claim to have. The problem is, there is barely a difference, if any, between the high/low...

ONE AND ONLY FRESHWATER 4OZ (NEW) https://a.co/d/2ci0wqd Here ya go!

I just cycled my 75 gallon tank using Dr Tim's and following the guidelines from this forum. Started Oct 14th and was fully cycled Nov 10th. Added tenants Nov 11th. Everyone is doing well and will probably be adding more this week if I find some I like. Good luck!! Sending smooth cycling vibes...

Hi! I am currently running 2 Aquaclear 110's and a large sponge filter in my 75 gallon tank. I have 3 baby Golden Dojos and 10 Neon Tetras. I also have some Anacharis, some stems are attached to the glass and driftwood and some stems are in the sand substrate. The HOB'S flow is super strong so...

This picture tho!! He's actually in mid yawn here. This isn't the pic I had originally planned on entering but it's about as candid as one can get!! Introducing my sweet mini panther, Sir Squeeks Alot. He is an 8 month old domestic long hair rescue kitty. He weighs 10.44 lbs per our Vet visit a...
