Jo,
A few rules.
Rule 1. Any ammonia above 0.0 is too high.
Rule 1. Any nitrite over 0.0 is too high.
Rule 1. Never, ever, mess with your pH.
Your tank has not been cycled. What you need to do is to either do a “fishless” cycle or use Dr. Tim’s product to obtain a bacterial culture that is […]
Go to the main group’s website photo album section, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AquaticLife/photos. Once there, you can sort the album folders in many ways. If referring to recently uploaded photos, the simplest way, which I use, is on the top right, click the link for “Last Modified” which will sort the albums by the most recently […]
For now I have 1000kelvin daylight bulbs (2×65 watts), and I have actinics that I run for simulating dawn/dusk. I was planning on swapping out the bulbs for 6500k daylight bulbs which I just got today. I don’t have a test kit for iron or any of the other stuff I’m supplimenting […]
HI JanY,
EARTHWORMS are good & nutritious for kois… just make sure you rinse them properly because bacteria in the soil may give them trouble later.

Unfortunately I cannot have stuff shipped site to store from walmart.com, and I asked the hubby if they can order larger sized bottles than the tiny itty bitty ones they have now (tetra aquasafe). I was told no, because they don’t sell enough of the normal aquasafe to warrant ordering a […]
Well since the plant “exploded” from it’s pot inside of my 10 gallon betta tank I have left the plant floating, since I wasn’t sure what caused the problem in the first place. The plant is doing better than it was when it was planted, which is probably due to the fact […]
HI JanY,
