    another redundant light question

    another redundant light question

    ick?

    ok if ich is anything like it is in freshwater tanks it is ALWAYS found in almost ALL water. Ich manifests itself when a fish's immune system is down typically due to stress, poor water quality etc etc. My guess is that your water parameters are less than perfect to cause this. i've also...

    A worm or snail ID

    Opinions on LFS advise

    If your are not testing for those trace elements i agree you are better off just getting them from salt. If you came into my LFS i would have told you to just do small h2o changes every 3-4 weeks with IO. Drip your calc but try to get it up to 400-450ish and dont add those trace elements...

    Opinion on Seachem ammonia test

    we tried that in my store and it never read below the 2nd mark, so we put it into our goldfish feeder tank. If you dont know GF are dirty disgusting foul creatures hatched only to produce more foul beings but i digress. Ammonia is almost ALWAYS high in GF water and lo and behold the tester...
