    Someone help me understand what happened

    IMO, the first thing that is needed, is to verify the actual nitrate level. Her test kit showed 80, her LFS showed 0. I would recomend to get another kit and then check it. Like a 3rd opinion. 2 different readings from 2 different tests leaves a person guessing! Also, when the LFS didi your...

    Fan temp controller

    You can get them with what is called a remote sensing bulb. The controler will have a cappilary tube coming from it with a sensing bulb at the end of it. So, you can mount the controller and wiring connections in a dry location, and have the sensing bulb in the water. One thing though, you will...

    Fan temp controller

    Do you have a friend who does air conditioning work? If so, he should be able to get you a relatively inexpensive temperature controler that will work. White Rodgers, Honeywell are just a couple of brands and can be had at places like Grainger, Johnstone Supply, Barnett, just to name a couple. I...

    Labored,rapid breathing HELP!

    The slime is clear, and it is like a string, just a thin line of it. Only on one side of him. I know the nitrates are high, I have been trying to get then down with water changes. Nitrates have been a constant problem for me. I think its because of the CC bed. And the other fish are not having...

    I am setting up a 125 FOWLR. Currently have a 55 w/ CC. I have been fighting nitates with the CC, and want to use LS in the new set up. Any recomendations as to depth of bed and what is the difference in all the packaged sands I see out there?

    spotted mandarin

    My mandarin has done very well. I have been hatching brine shrimp and feeding them to him. I bought the mandarin on a whim, without knowing what he ate. After reseaching what they eat, I realized I did not have a stable food source for him. The brine shrimp have become a part of his regular...
