Do you have any recommendations? I'm in law school and would love to keep it under $75.

Here are pictures in case anyone can tell me whether to replace the whole thing or find out how to just replace the solenoid. The blue stuff is putty because I was dumb and thought that would stop a leak (it doesn’t lol)

Yes, but I won't for long if I don't get the CO2 figured out

I might just have to get a whole new regulator, the one I have is cheap anyway. Any recommendations for a 20lb CO2 tank?

I decided to get my CO2 system back up and running after moving a while back and come to find the solenoid completely snapped off the regulator. When I open the valve, you can hear and feel CO2 hissing out of it, so much so that none of it gets to the bubble counter. I've tried to fill where it...

thank you! he's in a 5 gallon hospital bucket with some salt and a sponge filter - I'll pick up some methylene blue tomorrow

I see, I didn't know that. Thank you for educating me. I'll keep the dragon goby a hospital tank and treat him. I'll go ahead and take the ropefish to my LFS so he can go to a home where he won't be stressed. Thank you!

video quick video showing what I can

I have a 55 with a couple dojo loaches, a small ropefish (8 inches give or take), and I just recently added a dragon goby. I noticed the dragon goby was being harrassed by the ropefish but I decided to give them time to sort it out. During feeding, the ropefish just grabbed the goby by the...

Thanks! The tank isn’t super new, I set it up in the beginning of September, but I’ve had the amazon sword plants themselves since April or so.

I just tested my parameters about 10 minutes ago so I know they’re pretty accurate. pH: 8.4 (tap is nearly 9.0) Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: 5ppm It is a 20 gallon high with 6 corys, 2 adult Gardneri killifish, and a couple Gardneri fry. Relatively under stocked I think, but fully...

I’m thinking about adding a Dwarf Mexican Crayfish to my established 20 tall killifish and Cory tank. I’ve seen conflicting opinions on whether the crayfish will harass/eat the corys. I have 4 albino corys, 2 emerald. Is this a feasible combination or should I just skip out on the crayfish? I...

Thanks for such an in-depth response! I’ve been fortunate enough so far to not have to deal with too much algae, so I’ll probably decrease the light. I’m adding more plants later this week so hopefully that helps as well.

So I was having some trouble in my 10 gallon with this algae, but I moved and then transferred the fish and plants to a new 20 high. The 10 now has a betta and snails. Anyway, on my amazon swords and a little bit on my cabomba and rotala indica, there’s this fuzzy algae. Diatoms? What do y’all...

That makes a lot of sense! I think if I end up adding to this tank, I’ll add some ember tetras. Thank y’all!

so does everyone else recommend ember tetras over rasboras, like chili rasboras? I totally trust @NCaquatics, I just want to get as many opinions as possible and do the right research before getting any new fish

Thanks! The corys seem pretty happy and they all school together, so I’ll not get any more.

Definitely not - the killis are about 1.5 inches, 2 max. How many ember tetras would you recommend?

Only issue there is I already bought the tank because it was a really good deal - it’s a 20 tall.

How many rasboras would you say? I don’t want it overcrowd

oh my gosh I didn't even look at your usename! Go see my thread before yours haha

I don't have any advice, but those are some pretty fish :)

I'm very excited as I am upgrading my 10 gallon to a 20 gallon. I currently have three adult (two female, one male) gardneri killifish and 6 corys (4 albino, 2 emerald), and two nerite snails. The tank is heavily planted and I intend to do the same with the 20 gallon. Cycling shouldn't take long...

Thank you so much! I have changed their diet to (including bloodworms still), brinefish and high quality pellets as well. Once I made that change, I've already noticed the male hooking up with the ladies. Thank you for the advice!

bump :)

Hi! At the end of June, I purchased 4 killifish: two males and two females. One of the males was larger and more dominant, and so he was the one breeding to the females, and he did so often. Within a week, he died mysteriously. Tank parameters were normal (don’t remember but around 0/0/10-30) so...

Yup! Their roots loot really good as well.

Yes I dose weekly, but I bet it’s my light that’s too intense. Thanks!

10 gallon cycled tank with 3 Gardneri killifish, 6 corys, and 2 nerite snails. Cycled, 0/0/15. It is only on my amazon sword plants. I’ve not noticed it until I moved today and had to completely redo my tank! what do you think? I have algaefix chemicals but that’s a last resort.

I’m about to move a few hours away on Saturday, so when I do that, I’m planning to scrub everything really, really well and hope it goes away. If not, I’ll get rid of the piece I have and try something else. Either way I think I’m in the market for some nerite snails for the biofilm.
