Mine came with the floss pads and sponges, and bio-balls, but not enough of everything, so I’m going to put some extra blue/white padding that I have on hand from when I bought my 125 gallon. They send you just enough to get it running basically I need to get […]
Guess Murphy’s Law really likes you huh Bill? I got my 2 Rena Filstar Xp4’s on Ebay last month with my tax refund, It was at least 50 dollars cheaper for each filter on Ebay, and they were brand new filters, just dinged boxes (probably cheap sales from stores because […]
I’m so happy with my Rena Filstar xp 4 filters that I think I want to switch all my filters over at some point, LOL. They are very easy to clean and get running again after each cleaning. If you’re going to consider upgrading I’d suggest checking out Ebay for a good […]
I’m sorry to hear about your fish BUT I’m LMAO right now… not at your situation but what I just found with Google.

Do you know what caused the sore in the first place? Was it an injury from being startled and running into some decoration or something? Was the red a surface injury or did it look like the redness was forming under the skin? If it’s just a minor surface abrasion that is turning […]
There are also Flourish plant tabs that you can place under or near the roots to add nourishment. I have had excellent results with both the tabs and Excel in one tank where I did not add eco complete under the gravel. Barbara In a […]
Flourish Excel may adversely affect Valisneria also, but as I understand it, this is highly dependant on your KH. These plants can use the carbon found as part of the KH, but Excel can severely restrict how much of this carbon can be separated from the KH (Calcium Carbonate, etc.) by the plants as […]
Thanks Lenny. This is my first try with live plants. In the 10 gal tank I have a pair of Honey gourami and 3 Otocinclus. For plants I have 2 Java Ferns, some Hornwort and an Anubias nana. The lighting is a single 15 watt bulb…

If you have fish in the tank, you really shouldn’t need any other additives. The standard lighting, either the two 7W tubular incandescent light bulbs or the single 15W fluorescent tube should be more than enough light.. with the fluorescent being the better lighting option on most 10G tanks that I’ve seen/owned.
If you don’t have […]
Both sodium bisulfate and sodium metabisulfate were mentioned as dechlor agents and used by water supply houses to dechlorinate the water for various reasons, however one paper I looked at recommended sodium thiosulfate as the chemical of choice in an emergency, such as a water main break because it was easy to store and transport […]
