I acclimate the fish simply by floating the bag, which is what i have always done. I leave the bag with the lights off for a few hours periodically adding small amounts of tank water to the bag. I would need to set up a quarantine tank though wouldn't I?

I have a 55 gal tank that is established and has been for almost 7 months. I had 2 cycled aqua clear filters which i use for this tank. In this tank I have about 25 Neons, 5 Glofish Danio and 10 Glofish Tetra, and 5 peppered cory cats.    I left a lot of things automated and my mom does the...

Thank you so much everyone I am leaning towards a few plecos. I wouldn't want a big school of fish like hatchetfish I have a plexiglass hood which would make me scared they would jump out of the small holes cut out for filtration and feeding

I am currently writing as research paper on stocking my 125 gallon tank. I would like to add 5 angelfish to this tank plus some other fish. The dimensions are 48" x 24" x 24" so this would be perfect for angels. I have plenty of caves and driftwood with some plants (definitely not heavily...

Update: I went to a local mom and pop fish store, and bought 6 angelfish. they all get along great so far and are about the same size. Any suggestions for what else to add?

Hey everyone, I was just browsing through home depot when i found a product that actually makes my life easier. It was strenuous on my back to constantly be loading buckets of treated water into my 125 gallon tank. This electric syphon is only about $15 and just wanted to share this with anyone...

So would this be a good purchase?     Zoo Med Laboratories AZMAF448 Aquasun T5ho Quad Hood for Aquarium Light, 48-Inch   If you google it, its the first one on amazon, it wouldn't let me post the link

Hi everyone, I am starting a 125 gallon tank (about 4ft x 2ft x 2ft), which is days from being done cycling. This is my first big tank (I have two established tanks but they're 10 and 20 gallons) I have one light on the top of my tank and i've just started to think it isn't powerful enough for...

I did the water change and dosed to 2ppm yesterday already for precautionary measures. My pH has always been about 7.5   Right now my levels are: Ammonia- 0ppm Nitrites-     5ppm (very hard to read on API test) Nitrates-    100ppm pH-            7.5

No offense Gruntle, but im looking for someone more experienced for an answer. I understand where I am in my cycle and don't need you to copy and paste from the cycling forum. Thank you for your help

Thank you very much for your suggestions im leaning towards an angelfish with 3 plecos. 20 or so corydoras but am not so sure about hatchetfish because I have a plexiglass hood which isnt secure enough for them

Hey everyone, I am currently cycling my 125 gallon tank (about 48inches x 24 inches x 24 inches). Im trying to decide what to stock it with, which seems to be the hardest decision! So far i am interested in Angelfish, Plecos, and Bala sharks. I would like to choose larger fish because i have a...

I have a 20 gallon tank with a dwarf gourami 8 neon tetra and 5 peppered cory catfish and they all get along great!

I received the tank with no water but had a semi-cycled filter of my own. I added ammonia once to 4 ppm and saw some nitrites after ammonia dropped. Then i dosed it back to 3.5ppm and saw 5+ nitrites and about 80ppm nitrates by the time ammonia went back to zero. After that ive only dosed it to...

Hey everyone, I have two established tanks (10 and 20 gallon) and decided to go big. I bought a 125 Gallon High tank with a nice stand for a good price. The previous owner had cleared out the entire tank 3 days before giving it to me and didn't keep any water in it. So i assumed all the bacteria...

Alright thank you very much

I have a 10 gallon tank with some driftwood and anubias attached to it, would it be alright if i took it out and added it to new tank because my fish keeps biting the leaves off. I was curious if it would create a mini cycle in the tank.

I bought it off of Amazon, I never have had great luck on Ebay

Thank you very much, after reading up more on them the SunSun is the one i ordered for about $140

I have 20 gallon and 10 gallon tanks up and running fine and decided to go big. I went out and found a 125 gallon tank and stand but didn't come with a filter. Im not looking to spend over 175 on a canister filter. I have a Penguin 200 (up to 50 gallons) sitting around and would like to put that...

 About 5 Weeks

Perfect haha, Thank you so much, I assume they will both be under those levels considering they are right now

 After about a day i just tested again. My levels were: Ammonia:  .5ppm (was 3ppm) Nitrite:  0-.25ppm (was 0ppm) Nitrate:40ppm      (was 10ppm) pH: 7.6                 (Constant)

Thank you so much I had suspected that...My pH was around 7-7.5 throughout the entire cycle. I just did a 90% water change. After the water change my levels were:   Ammonia:0ppm Nitrite:0ppm Nitrate:10ppm pH:7.6   I then dosed with ammonia to 3ppm. Will post again tomorrow

Hi,   im new to fish keeping and have started cycling my 20 gallon tank. I only have Drift wood and Java fern in the tank with a 12" air stone. In the past month my reading of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates have been consistent with those I've read online. At one point i was having to dose my...
