So, things are going well since the addition of air stone. Now, this may sound silly but...I have a tetra dw96 air pump for a 29gal tank. It produces ALOT of bubbles. Can this cause any problems? The fish seem to like it, several spend alot of time playing in them. I will search and read about...

Well, I think it's fixed. When I set the tank up, the only source of aeration was the water coming from the filter. I think as my tank began to cycle and and I started to get some growth in my filter it decreased my flow rate...thus the amount of top to bottom exchange. I added a bubble wall and...

I did a 20-25% water change and vacuum 2 days ago. I added aquasafe and stresscoat plus. My nitrite/ammonia out of the tap is good. Within a couple of hours the fish started going to the top. I have brown gunk growing in my filter lines and have seen a decrease in flow rate. Today I noticed one...

I have an eheim canister system. My water looks pretty clear, although a couple of days ago I thought it looked a bit brown. nitrite and ammonia levels are good and all fish are healthy. Today I noticed some brown stuff growing in the filter hoses. I also noticed some copper colored stuff on the...

Hello~my tank has finally cycled, so thanks to all who hepled! Over the past couple of days I have noticed the water looking a bit murky, not bad though. The gravel on the bottom has a copper colored film on it, I am assuming it is algae although my pleco is not working on it. I have an eheim...

Hello~ Still doing daily 50-75% or more water changes. My tap water may have the tiniest amount of ammonia and no nitrite. Nitrite levels are still very high(purple) but the fish are doing fine. I am feeding only a small amount once a day, poor guys every time I come near the tank they freak...

Hello~I got the test kit. My ammonia was 0, my Nitrite was off the chart, my nitrate was about 60-80. I have done two 25-30% water changes. Nitrite is still purple but my nitrate has fallen to about 10 and Ammonia has risen too. The fish were doing fine before the water changes, after changes...

Thanks for your help~no white stuff, I have 1 small blood parrot and two each of the following: silver dollar, rosy tail barb, small cichlids, and two I don't know what they are diamond shaped body gold and orange with vertical black stripes. I did a 25% water change today and one of the unkonwn...

Thanks~I will be getting new test kits today and starting water changes. Do you think I should use stress coat or anything else for the fin damage?

Hello~I was wondering if it would be okay to use 1 year old stress coat that has been exposed to heat (garage). I have a 30 gallon tank that is a fresh setup. The fish are good start up fish and I was told very resilient. I ran the tank for 4 days before adding fish. I added aquasafe at start...
