Those test strips are not accurate all you need to get a API Master Test Kit. I've used those test strips and then tested with the API Master test kit and it be completely off between the two you can get a basic general idea of how your tank is doing with the strips but so many factors inside...

One thing I've learned never ever use antibacterial soap to wash your hands before you put them in your tank even if you do rinse your hands twice the residue is still on it the best thing is 2 wash your hands and rubbing alcohol let it evaporate off real good and then rinse with clean water...

Do you use floss as a filtering agent and don't have it in a bag once I did that myself I had put it in a hang in the back filter packed it down good but bits of it got into the Impaler and turn the tank cloudy white with bits floating in it those can clog the gills of your fish and they...

This Thread was wonderful if you want to really get a good look at how the human mind works in a social situation this thread does it all it started out as a threat of somebody complaining about getting advice on a forum site where people share their experiences and give advice about keeping...

I agree with the new member comment about getting on new members but the thing of it is you need to look I may be a new member on here but I have dealt with fish for 30 years of my life some things I don't know that's why I do ask questions but as I stated before that's what this channel is about

Well it seems to me that you're just a condescending ass who misses the purpose of this channel it is for people who enjoy fish and keeping them to get together and share ideas now I do agree with some of the things you say but the way you sound you make it sound like your ideas are the only...

I have recently got it into planted aquariums I bought a CO2 setup and a drop Checker which came in today now it says I mix five drops of the solution with 5ml tank water but I've watched some of the other YouTube videos it says not to mix it like that also it didn't come with any instructions...

I started watching my betta yesterday and he kept going to the top of the surface and I thought maybe I need it to turn the air stone on again cuz I just turned it on periodically using the filter is agitation to then I realized he was building a nest I need to try to get a female for him

That was an old picture he's in a new tank by himself now

I've just read so much stuff about having to add CO2 diffusers and different kind of substrates and different fertilizers and all that junk and I just don't really have the time to devote to all of that

So the standard light that I have in the tank should suffice right I shouldn't have to get any kind of special grow light and I'm going to post a picture of the Slate that I'm talkin about that I would like to get moss to cover and you said the Java moss will work for covering the Slate and...

I agree Fluval is a great product but I haven't had any trouble with AquaTech filters and other products that doesn't cost nowhere near the amount of Fluval I have a 55 gallon aquarium and I have a Penn Plax heater that is done perfect I live in West Virginia where it gets cold and I've had no...

In my opinion if you shop around a little bit you can get a whole kit minus the substrate Orwell less than $200 which should come with a filter a heater some sort of Water Conditioner and everything. Walmart has a nice stand for around $62 I just purchased and I agree with the guy that mentioned...

It is entirely possible an probable. The spores can l at dormant for years in all different environments, including cold weather, especially if the surface is porous. When I take down a tank an move things to others I soak everything in vinagar. It will kill most all forms of bacteria then rinse...

I have tried everything in the market for ammonia spikes when I have trouble in my 55 gal tank. Now don't get me wrong I like Seachem products but I bought purgeen 2 of them to be precise. Now one should have more than took care of the spike due to a fish that passed an I failed to find right...
