I had a graphics card go when the capacitors blew once(never get an EVGA card again). Scared the heck out of my daughter…she thought someone was shooting at her *weg*. My expereince with capacitors is that they usually go with a bang. If you have a large enough one, it can actually cause […]
Hello Ray; I have no back ground info on your computer such as age, type of motherboard, Processor type but in some cases this very same problem is observed when capacitors go bad on the motherboard. While thermal overload and power supply problems can also be a problem, it has been my experience in […]
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 […]
Hello Jo, So sorry you are running into this frustrating experience in trying to keep Angelfish, when the species is not difficult to maintain. Ordinarily, we would ask just what you meant (and will still do this) when you say that your water is all testing okay. When giving us any of your […]
Tell us more about your fish keeping experience and more details like a timeline/history of how long you have been trying to get this tank to work.
What are the water parameters at the store where you are buying the fish or where they were born/raised? Is your tank water naturally at 6.5 pH […]
Hi Lenny,
Thanks very much for sharing these lots of information.
Will bookmark this page so I can go back to it from time to time.

Hi Byron,
That is a lot of good information, thank you.
So, you are not currently using any added Co2? did you ever add Co2? And the regular Flourish (not Excel) is the only added fertilizer besides the tabs?
You mentioned - “CO2 is provided by the respiration of the fish,…” How stocked are your tanks for the […]
I noticed you said there’s an ammonia reading on your test kit, is this tank fully cycled or is the ammonia from the dead fish? How long straight has this tank been running again? I don’t think anyone asked if your tank was fully cycled, so I was just covering all the […]
Thank you Lenny i started with 3 now i have 1 1/2 the 1/2 is very beet up i dont know if him her is going to make it..its 55g. I will try to rearange the tank sense im going on a long vacation soon going to have plenty of spare time. Like always […]
Ray are you sure that his fish are deing to this infection rather than dieing from ammonia poisoning from an uncycled tank? Not to mention he used a pH adjusting buffer to lower his pH… This might just be a lack of experience too I would think it’s possible at least. We […]
