Hello, I've got a Penguin 100 in good condition - no cartridge, as it got used up. I would like to trade it for a sponge filter that would work for a 10 gallon tank. Nothing special, just like a Hydro Sponge II or something. Am trying to start up a shrimp and nerite tank and need low flow. An...

Wow! Thank you so much everyone! :hyper: At first I thought my post was going to lie dormant, and now it is a full-fledged thread complete with amazingly detailed, professional pictures...thank you so much for the pics, Frank! Sorry not to have replied to all of your wonderful input sooner...

Hello there! :hey: Thanks for the response! No need to apologize... :) I have gotten some more info elsewhere, and everyone seems to say, remove the eggs, put them in a separate tank. Sometimes an airstone is suggested, other times not. I am sorry to be such a complete newbie, but is this...

Hi everyone, I have a question about corydoras spawning. If anyone has any tips, I would be all ears - I am completely new to this! Here's some background information... I just recently set up a 29 gallon tank - by recently I mean about two weeks ago. I have two other 29 gallon tanks, so I...

Thank you so much, Rabbut! I didn't think it could be a seal issue because, as you suggested, when I unplugged the filter and left it primed, I didn't see any leaking. I could've been wrong though, I am not sure exactly what the issue was... Anyway, I got it working again! Your suggestions were...

Hi everyone, About a month ago I bought an Eheim 2236 (Ecco) used on eBay. It worked fine for a couple of weeks and then it started to do this thing where it would make a stalling out sound, then spit out water with lots of bubbles. During this time the flow was minimal, so it was not just a...

Hi, Colin_T! What a wonderful post. I guess majority wins...I will take that bottle of Prime out of the cabinet! I just moved 4 months ago, I did used to use dechlorinator when I was on city water. Any preference for Tetra AquaSafe or Seachem Prime? I bet they're both about the same. The...

Hello there, I just thought I would mention that the rainbowfish died this morning. :-( I can't say I am really surprised. I don't know about anyone else, but I would MUCH rather deal with ich, popeye, finrot or fungus which at least has identifiable symptoms and cures. I guess "the devil you...

Thanks for the link, that's a helpful reference. The poo is the color of the food I feed them. The other rainbowfish, who is younger, is the most vigorous eater in the tank so he seems to poo the most. Most of the foods I feed *are* red foods except for ~2x a week Omega One veggie flake and...

Thanks! That was an interesting thread. I've been considering setting up a desktop tank with grass shrimp and I will definitely use dechlorinator just in case, since they're more sensitive. I'm not sure about the plumbing in the house but I am almost 100% sure it's original, built 1987. For my...

No, I didn't add dechlorinator. I don't add anything to this water, I just touch it to ensure it is about the same temperature as the tank. I figure the less things added to the water the better. This water has actually been the best for keeping fish in that I've ever had - it stays so...

Hi everyone, I have a problem with an Australian rainbowfish. He seems to have lost his appetite and is shimmying and hiding, just generally not acting right. Here's a little background... The rainbowfish is one of two rainbowfish in a 29 gallon tank. They are still fairly young, but their...
