[AquaticLife] Amber, need to know? Rams and incoming fish

The seller is wetspotcx on aquabid, contact Grey directly and I’m sure he would be more than willing to work with you. They were very reasonable with all my requests, such as sexing the fish before sending them so I knew I got 3 pairs of rams not 6 males […]

pea soup - green water.. bad..

MECHANICAL FILTERS - are materials you use to trap solids such as fish poops. Koi keepers usually use filter brushes. RINSE THEM REGULARLY
I know some sobrang maselan people who use filter wool (the kind that pet shops sell for aquarium filter boxes). This will really make your water mechanically super clean but if you do […]

[AquaticLife] 55 gallon community tank and crushed coral added results

Amber,
Depending on the tank, you could see a change from 0.0 to about 0.5 in your pH daily. In a typical tank, you would see a change of about 0.2-0.3 on a daily basis.
The change does happen gradually, and the fish can normally handle it very well. Rather than be overly concerned with pH, just […]

That depends on what your plants are for the tank. What species of tetra do you have? What species of catfish do you have? Most, if not all, tetras are schooling fish and should be in schools of six or more but depending on your species, you may not be able to […]

No need to tear down the tank to remove snails. There are several ways to accomplish this, though they do take some time, and it would be an ongoing operation. Simplest way is to simply crush the snails found on the glass of the tank, and let the fish have some snack time with them. […]

[AquaticLife] undergravel filters?

I have some information and links to several good articles about UGF filters on my article on “Filter Cleaning and Maintenance” on my blog.
Depending on your plans for the tank, UGF filters are still viable but they should probably be supplemented with other filtration and ALSO USE either powerheads or the intake tube from an […]

[AquaticLife] 55 gallon community tank

Would thin cotton socks work to put the crushed coral in? They are brand new just pulled out of the bag… I didn’t like the style and never wore them. I can use a zip tie to tie them shut.
