Turning on the lights and keeping them on overnight could help raise the Ph? I Agree with others, adding more chemicals would likely hurt more, but...
I've gone through too many heaters to rely on just one. If you truly want to be stressed free you need 2 heaters in the tank, and a spare outside. I...
3 days later and he's looking great! FYI to everyone: Formula 2 Pellet food is contains particularly larger pellets where the fish may get it...
Prefer to build my own, but to each their own :)
I have good news! He's not breathing heavy this morning! I could only see him a few brief times in the dark but from what I see he's not breathing...
Take it out! That wavey line is the min. water spot! Some heaters automatically shut off if dry, or if not dry for too long it should be ok. That's...
Ich or Marine velvet may be possible? I don't see any signs of that and I haven't had any new fish added for over 9 months. I'm not very good at...
He's still alive and still doing his rapid breathing. I'm going to take a video of it and post it here.
I hear ya Adam, they certainly can be difficult fish. I felt like I had a hit here though since he's been doing great for 18 months. Couldn't have...
rsjakp if that's the case I will be so relieved. I was thinking that could have been the case. It was a new pellet (Formula 2 pellets) I was trying,...
I noticed slight discoloration near his gills. It was just darker, not blue or black in particular, just darker than the other areas. I can't confirm...
My Cleaner molted that morning and is acting normal. I also have a peppermint shrimp which does not look like they molted and looks fine. I have...
The new PH replaced one that was pointed directly at the surface. Could it have had chemicals on it? Possibly? I did wash it off with RO water before...
I'm at a loss on what is going on, and I'm assuming time is not on my side so here's the situation: - Came home last night, all fish looking fine. -...
It's funny so many clowns have this behavior (mine included). You'd think sleeping on the surface would be terrible for surviving in the wild lol.
8.02 to 8.25 is my daily swing lately. I'm currently bringing my low end further up, but your ph changes sound like a pretty big swing to me.
I've owned one for about 18 months now. No issues, can be a picky eater at times, but aggressive when hungry. Very thick fish that none of the others...
Very good point, didn't even think about that with the TDS meter. Would dipping an ORP probe into it help find anything? I can see the risks. Maybe...
I hear what you're saying sticksmith, and that's why I was curious to testing the water quality, surely pollutants will show up in a TDS reading....
I did a few searches and it seems some people are for and some are against depending on where you live for using natural sea water. I was reading a...
