    I started this tank in February. I can't wait until my tank grows up. I love this hobby, well until water change time.

    acid stain floors and fish health

    I was just informed by the floor guy that when he acid stains our floor it is going to be caustic. I am going to tape off the door from the room getting the work done(and shutting down the ac)and I was wondering if I should just completely shut down the tank and cover it. If I should, then how...

    new leather (what kind?)and a 'what is it' pics

    I got a new leather yesterday and was wondering if anyone knew what kind it is. The second pic is fuzzy but I am hoping someone knows what it is. It stays under the sand and has green grass-like pieces floating above the sand.(moves like a worm when I take it out of the water)

    hair algae

    I don't have a pic but maybe someone knows by my description. It looks like hair algae but when I take it out it moves like a worm of some type.

    ick again after hypo

    I was using a refractometer. I didn't just use the tape, I also checked it. I kept it at .009. Anyway, do you think I would have an ammonia spike with the new (used sand) or should I wait a few more days and test the water in qt? Is this something the hippo is going to have? If so, I would...

    ick again after hypo

    Just wondering if I could use the qt with the sand in it for hypo. It is not live sand, I just didn't want it to go bad. I just checked the water in qt and it everything is good except for the nitrates are 5.0. I am making some water to do a water change in case I need to use this tank. I...

    ick again after hypo

    This is what I copied from Beth's thread on hypo... Your display will now have been fishless for at least four weeks, sufficient time to allow the parasite’s life cycle to be interrupted. ****** is an obligate parasite that requires a fish host. No fish=No host=No parasite. Ich is a fish-only...

    do I need to wait 24 hrs after mixing saltwater?
