If your theory is right. Pruning a part of the roots should have an effect.

Ok and the nitrate started to rise afterward, I had a similar thing happened when I moved all my shrimp tank to a new aquarium for reasons similar to yours... Disturbing the substrate that much was not good, had no choice to rinse it before putting it in the new tank. That simply killed a lot...

Mmmmmmmm, I'm with Linda on this one... Bad idea even with reduced flow. Next time. She should make you blow air in the tube while she goes pick another pump. Don't worry I fried a thousand babies with a badly adjusted heater once.

It's sold By Tetra in America and Canada, But when I reach the Store Front they are different for each country. If you can basket it on Amazon.ca in the US, You should receive it no problem. I often buy stuff available on Amazon.com that is not available in Canada that way.

How old is your setup ? Water changes are the #1 method of reducing Nitrate, Second to that is a dense flora that is actively growing, the use of nitrate free fertilizer that provide bio available co2, strongly encourage the plants to take over any nutrients dissolved in the water layer. Then...

Your big boy looks like a (Hypselecara Temporalis) Chocolate Cichlid and will grow to half the length of this aquarium. If your aquarium is not cycled at the moment. You are in for a lots of water changes. You would need to try to keep it under 1 ppm. Seriously it's the ideal time to change...

I call it a Trafficked Alfredo. Start with a slightly lighter bechamel sauce and add some grated cheese to it. Add a cover of fresh ground black pepper before serving. It's a lot less fatty, and re-heats very well compared to the cream only sauce. Sooooo.... I add semi cooked and chopped...

I put big pieces of old cheddar across any noodles before adding hot tomato sauce. It makes strong tasting melted cheesy bites. I'm a 🐷

Like double cherry pie... Yeah there she was...

Yes, they'll do it fine too, the fun thing is once you played a little with it. you can do from light whipped with a fresh chocolate taste to thick dark copious frosting that looks out of wonderland. While it's purely instant stuff, It gives a lot more frosting for the calories, loll. Some...

I love Cake... All of them, no frosting. But I have an instant frosting recipe, That is so simple, and makes something like you find on the "Deep'n Delicious®" cakes. and even better. Jello instant chocolate pudding mix. Nutrifill whipped cream topping. Add chocolate mix to the Nutrifill...

Stop feeding them completely, for a month or more. Watch how the shrimps will deal with them when they are going to die. If they eat the deceased worms and seed shrimps, let it go until both are nearly depleted. They are the apex scavengers in the tank. And as long as their digestive tracks...

If you remove the output nozzle and let the water go upward ?

It's 55 gph, I don't think it will be too violent for a 10G.

These filters does not have a flow adjustment feature. :(

You need a 300 gallons ;)

While AI is great. The way I see it. It can do big mistake. Will make me emit. It seems to be bright. Sometimes goofy. But not always right. Digital quiddity. It make me wonder. As good it go. How many blunder. Will make it a foe. In the times that come. Whatever entail. That have to be done...

Nothing comes to my mind that would prevent this from working beautifully. In fact I think it's a great idea. You can now use your sump principally as a mechanical filter and the breeder as a bio filter. It should have a very low maintenance requirement. 👍

This is what Gemini produced. I trowed in "make me a poem on fishforum.net" In digital depths, where knowledge takes hold, On Fishforum.net, a story unfolds. A haven for hobbyists, hearts filled with glee, Sharing their passion for the creatures of the sea. Neon tetras shimmer, a vibrant...

The sudden introduction of the second spray bar filter caused a temporary stress response in your fish, leading to the loss of colors it looks like a reaction to changes in their environment, they might not like the increased water flow. It's possible to over gas an aquarium. But it's very easy...

With just a little RO added to your water to bring it's hardness a little lower. And a good modification of the landcape. You can have different small Rasboras; Harlequin, Pygmy, Ember Tetra, Celestial Pearl and pygmy cories. All these are lots of fun, if you can have between 6-8 of them in a...

If your fish already looks like it's going better, I would think something it eaten seriously made it bloat. One of the picks shows a greatly compressed stomach / swim bladder area. That could have stretched the fish to the point of muscular damage an cause bleeding. I'm not an illness...

Are you eating them ?!? You sure seem to buy some as often as groceries.

It's generally not recommended to have a sump smaller than 25% of your show tank. Yours would be at 16%, But imo in exception that your idea is to stock the tank with a lot of big fish. I would personally go up to 75 gallons with a 10 gallons sump... Well populated with quality media, they are...

Do you have a tap water treatment for aquarium uses ? It seems strange that you test reports some chlorine. It should be 0 in your tank... If you have some, you might want to add a little.

It depends on taste, I'm not really fond of them. a smaller stone wont do smaller bubbles it will make a larger number in less space, with the same air pump the same amount of air will still flow trough. If you have a adjustable pump you can try to lower the flow, if your pump has fixed output...

I also keep the bottles, you can pop out the dropper clean them really well and use them for fertilizer and other liquids, They are made from HDPE and are perfectly safe to use with many chemicals.

When I restarted in the hobby about a year ago I had a master test kit from Nutrafin that was expired since 2009. I bought a Fresh APi one and compared the results of both, I shook each bottles a good while and, to my surprise. The old kit was on par and as precise as it was when I bought it...

If you store it in a cool dark place with the caps solidly screwed. It still going to be good in 2030 and even further.

I was able to take good care enough of this nerite in the last months. That it completely fixed it's shell scarf's and even more, Completely restored it's apex. The drastic color difference and the little bulge all around are witness to the evolution of the damages he had before. This had a...

Haaaaaa, If you do that in Canada, it's going to look like a howitzer crater next summer. We need to have a 4 feet deep region and 10 feet wide and still have to add an heater at the bottom. Anything too small will freeze right trough.

You might have put a little too much for nothing. Atm I used only 20 ml on the bottle. And time. But I understand that the results could differ a lot with the stocking. I believe that there's not a single byproduct released by invertebrates that cannot be broken down and made available to...

Fish are not that stupid ? Who here can give witness of any kind of fish trying to swallow an adult pygmy corydoras ??? Raise you hand. They are exactly like mustard fishing hooks. And nothing in existence would try to swallow that. One way they wont get in, the other... They might not get...

I know about that loll !!! When you install a pond it's very good to go trough a whole year before cutting the border of the liner. Leave it expand and shrink at least once with the seasons, keeping it as full as possibles helps, Because also the weight of the water is much higher than soil...

Since the thread has a taken a little tendency to talk about Photos... Having a tripod and a Bluetooth shutter remote. So the phone remains absolutely immobile when you take shots. Made a tremendous difference in my results.

Monday Report. All is doing very well the tank dropped from 5-10 ppm last week, to 0-5 ppm today. I feed the tank normally trying to keep things clean and filter maintenance low. I was adding 10 drops of NilocG ThriveC per week in two doses of 5 drops Wed/Sun. And I'm going to step back to 5...

What would bring me to buy medication before the fish. That is not a good introduction to the hobby.

both can be orally administered.

Raising temp is futile. if you are using malachite green. It will help with oxygen not to do so.
