    Treatment for Ick?

    Here is what I did, flush my fish down the tiolet(because they died) empty the tank and start all over again. Oh ya, never buy fish from *****! Just spend the extra money at a reputable LFS.

    Nitrates still high

    Hello, I just did a test and found that my ammonia was about .10ppm, Nitrites were at zero, and Nitrates were still way up, around 80. I have changed about 25 gallons of water in the past week(60 gallon tank). I am also starting to get a large algea bloom. Would it be okay to add a clean up...

    Just transport them like your LFS does, in bags. Use buckets to move rock with live stuff on them.

    Transporting Fish and Tank

    I just moved a 60 gallon. The trip was 6 hours long. Looks like you have some good advice already, but this is what I did. First of all I would do some water tests before you leave, that way after you set up the tank you can determine what the water quality is like. After you get the tank set...

    new tank

    We didn't test the water before I moved it. I am sure the water quality was poor though. Amonia was low, I think it was the second color on my test sheet, not sure on the actual decimal value. I am using LS as a substrate. There's a little bit of gunk on the LS, could use a cleaning. I'll...
