White stringy fish poop is usually a sign of internal parasites -at least it was in the old days. I never have been able to figure out exactly which type of parasite it is however. My largest problem right now is not being educated in today's medications. I don't want to be using medications...

I have used 6 API General Cure Pks but they still are pooping the white poop. I don't want to use anything with copper if I can help it. I didn't catch it soon enough and many are infected, so I must treat all 60 gallons. I have crushed garlic and mixed it with API and Fish Food. Any help or...

I wish to apologize for the delay in answering but I had to go to the hospital for a few hours . I have decided that I will not get co2 because I do not need the additional trouble and extra work. I am tethered to oxygen and one drip tube. I have enough trouble doing water changes. I am...

I am afraid you are asking some questions that I can't answer but I will answer what I can. The lights are on 10 HRS a day and the fixtures are LED lights which are four months old. The bottom of my tank is very well lit up, I do have algae on the back and one side of my tank, the front and...

I want to thank ever one who replied to my post, I am really undecided on how to proceed. The tank that I am speaking of is a 68 gallon tall tank with 7 fish (one inch or less) plus one juvenile amono shrimp and 38 plants. Some of my plants are doing fine but several are really struggling such...

I am considering buying a Co 2 system but I am stuck on the CO2 Diffuser. I can't make up my mind whether to try an inline diffuser that is in the return line or an in tank diffuser. I am wanting to put a heater in the return line and I feel that a diffuser also would be too much for the...

Today my air pump arrived and although it is a little larger than I would like, it is completely silent and I could not be happier. It doesn't seem to put out more air than my smaller one did but it does so in a blissful silence. I am certain it will get louder with age but now it is just...

I have 2 60 gallon tanks (plus a 10 gallon hospital tank) and I am not very computer savy but here is where I bought it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TVH8NBK/?tag=ff0d01-20 $52.00 I am older than dirt so these new things tend to confuse me- smile. Copy and paste is as high tech as it gets.

I wish to thank you for the suggestions, I have sent for a Pawfly 7w but if it dosen't work out I will try the Danner AP-4 next. thank you so much

Is there such a thing as a quiet air pump?

I am sorry but I don't own a camera the new one's are far too complicated for me. Fifty or Sixty years ago they were much simpler. My grandson finally got home and he took some small wedges, he put about nine of them in the slot and then we applied heat, then I could push it on the glass. I...

I am really having a hard time trying to figure out how to get the back part onto the glass. I have tried using a hair dryer to heat the slot so that it would be more pliable that nothing seems to work. If anyone can give me any help or suggestions on this I would really appreciate it. Thank...

I wish to thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to answer my post. I have bought two sets off of Ebay and one set from Amazon. But they are of really low quality when it comes to griping the plant. The 11 inch tweezers works great but the 19 inch is not flat when squeezed...

I am having a problem trying to find a quality extra long curved tweezers and curved scissors. I am hoping someone here has experience with some and can tell me where to purchase them. The top of the tank is 4 inches above the top of my shoulder making it almost impossible to use a normal set...

I wish to thank everyone that took the time and trouble to answer my post. I now have a little more information to work with. Like most senior citizen's I get my pay on the third and I will be ordering plants from Jacobs aquarium.

All i have is guppy grass plus water wisteria (very small portion) and three weeks ago I did an instant cycle. I have a canister filter that pushes 580 gallons an hour plus a large sponge filter.

On one end I have a fluval 3.0 and on the other end i have a finex planted plus. I do not have c02. Well not yet anyway. I like the natural look as it is in the wild.

If you had a brand new 75 gallon tank, what would be the first four plants that you would put in your new tank? This is the main question. Another question that I have is about crypts, I have been watching video's on you tube and I can not get the information on how large these plants get when...

chose the CRV-- Thank you so much ancient

I sincerely apologize for being confusing. I mentioned my substrate only to let you know what I am working with. The question is all about the lights. But then, when you get to be my age everything gets confusing -smile. The last really established aquarium was in 1951.

There seems to be several Planted Plus Models. Which model to Buy? KLC--CRV--HLC ????????? I have a 60 gal tank (my 2nd Tank) and on a fixed income. My substate is Mexican Clay cut in 1" squares and scattered across the bottom, filled in with worm casting plus another 1/2 inch then another 2...

Than you very much for the link. I bought about 8 small pieces and put them in my first tank and two days later it was brown water and I did 4 water changes in two weeks and it cleared up (with carbon and uv light) which is perfectly acceptable (don't want to get into 2 months worth though). I...

I am looking for some driftwood for my tank. Every time I look at some advertisement for driftwood it is 4 to 8 inches long and in the review column it states that it releases massive amounts of tannins. I am putting this in a 70 gallons tank and so I need a larger piece that does not release...

Well, I think maybe I had better give up. Ill give my tank, light, filter, plants and substrate away. If I can't have what I want, then there is no reason to keep spending money.

The fish that I want to keep are guppies, Mollies, neon's, Otocinclus Catfish. My PH is 6.4. I am setting up a 10 gallon tank that will become my isolation tank.

Every fish that I want to put in my aquarium has a different water parameters. What do you do in case like this?

I'm in trouble-smile.. The plants were not supposed to arrive until the 30th (I called them and they agreed to arrange this) but they came anyway.. My thermometer will be here the 29th along with my heater. Any way, one plant came in a bag of water and when I looked, it seemed like one leaf had...

When cycling does the temperature matter at all?

I really don't know the volume (I haven't sat down and worked it out) but my grandson measured it and it was 72 inches long by 24 inches wide by 29 inches high. I put an 80% deposit on this tank and stand. I will be picking it up on the third of next month. I am picking up things as I can. I...

The way my room is arranged I had to put my little 7 gallon tank in a space that I cannot readily enjoy it while I am on the computer. I have a space next to my computer desk along the wall and it is crying for a fish tank. I had to go to the doctor and we happened to stop at the store and...

Well, my little tank turned out quite well (after some duzzy Bu Bu's) and I have received much enjoyment from this tank but I do have to keep after the frogbit. The hard part was trying to hide the hardware as much as possible in this small of a tank, well that- and keeping control of myself to...

I was thinking about watergrass, hair grass, Java fern and another type of Java. I was thinking about adding a clip on – say about 6 W. What do you think of this, do you think it will be enough? Thank you oh yes, as far as fish goes – – I was thinking about the 2 mosquito or 4 female guppies...

This is my very first attempt at a small tank and I am worried about the LED lighting for this tank will be mostly about plants and I really don't think that the LED light's that come with this kit are strong enough to do the job. This will also be my first attempt at plants. The unit that I am...
