    how to raise alkalinity

    read the following on google true or false good or bad? Dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water for each 10 gallons in the tank. Add it to the aquarium and wait 24 hours. If the rise in alkalinity is too extreme, it can kill the fish in the tank

They then realize what's involved and give up. or many...

    Water Change With Different Quality

    Can I just do 70 percent water change with new water? or will that be a shock to my fish since different water quality? Also if I get water from the store and have it sit in a jug for 5 days before adding to the tank is there any issues with this?

    Cyanuric Acid CyA

    Not that I'm aware of. But I do live in an apartment. I have another option but it's super costly. And that's buying water at store. It reads with super good levels on everything. But very costly and hard work.

    Cyanuric Acid CyA

    I don't add it since water here is very harsh there is small amount of chlorine in the water. 0.5 ppm I believe. On my test strips it reads as 0 its such a small amount. Seems they add the Cyanuric acid into our water however. My test strips picked up on it. Now idk how to get it out or what I...

    GUPPIES

    If your water is wrong then any fish up put in will die. This is not because of tank size or having single fish. It's to make sure u give your pet a good home so they don't get sick and die.

    GUPPIES

    Guppies have lots of babies. Because they are more prone to illnesses and bottom of the food chain. 5 gal tank is small for Guppies but if u just have one as a pet it's a fine size.

    Photo upload in PM?

    I think you can do it off Facebook if u upload it to Facebook first. I think it's designed to prevent misuse. better to lose a bit of functionality and have it a safe site then have functionality and have no site. hope that helps cheers

    Cyanuric Acid CyA

    To my understanding, this helps to stabilize the chlorine levels in the water. I'm wondering how harmful is CyA to my fish my levels are 100 ppm how can I safely reduce my levels. Thank You Cheers

    Cherry barb - swimming sideways

    "Have checked all the levels and everything looks great" I know from experience people will want to know what the levels are. As they have a lot to do with fish. Many people say their levels are good when that is what their problem is. Posting them may get you faster responses. ^_-

    1,2, and 3 but what if 3,2,1

    I bought a new filter and realized I may have been making a mistake. On the instructions it says from bottom to top of the filter 1. insert foam filter 2. insert carbon 3. insert bio max What if I did it the other way around does it make any difference? If so why?

    20-80 Too small tanks could cause internal problems too big of a tank is not cost effective. As for your recommendation. I tend to agree. With u. Though I still don't understand how they calculate it out I will say this method is a better method. And thank your for helping with the page...

    PLEASE HELP! Multiple mistakes made, but I’m learning.

    truth be told every fish is different and I don't think there is a perfect amount. These are fish that are contained in a glass box rather than swimming in oceans. no matter what it's stressful on these poor fish. But common sense and using facts that worked for others help thus is why these...
