The 40G tank will also need to be upgraded or you will have to perform twice weekly tank maintenance as the fish grow. A 55G 4′ long tank is the minimum size tank that I recommend for two fancy goldfish. Part of your fishes problems right now is because they have been kept […]
but it would be worth it in the long run… and they would feed the fish, so that’s a good thing too!!! LOL
yeah but with all the poisons they spew out it might end up killing the fish off !! lake Superior is bigger than lake Ontario

Frank, Just got a chance to skim through your email and caught one BIG problem with the plans for your biofilter. DO NOT use lava rocks, sand, or pea gravel as media in your biofilter unless you’re prepared to handle a LOT of hard work and problems after a few months. Some time […]
Dora,
You keep missing the point.
Just having nitrospira is not sufficient so I’m not sure why you are so hung up on nitrospira.
That is what was wrong for so many years with bacteria-in-a-bottle products…. they had the wrong bacteria, not all of the bacteria needed or it was dead bacteria.
Dr. Tim Hovanec is one of the […]
It is you that is confused… lol
Marineland merged with Tetra and took Bio-Spira off the market a few months ago. That is when Dr. Tim started up his own company and introduced “One & Only Nitrifying Bacteria” product.
If you go to my blog, the one at the top is a recent blog I did […]
I really appreciate Lenny “GoldLenny” Vasbinder for pointing me to this group… I was on AquaticLife on Yahoo…
I have ready posts from you guys that span back to 2004 and deal with many pump, filter, skimmer topics. So, I ghout I would post what we are looking to do and see if […]
I like the choice of impeller options for the Kohaku, but is the flow rate worth the $100 difference?
I am going based on 8ft head where the Kohaku is 2000 GPH and the 4200SEQ12 is only using 2/3 of its max head since it is rated at 12 ft.
Thanks, Peter
We bought an investment property where there were 8 koi (3-4″) in a junky tank outside. One died because he jumped out after we transported them to our house. Really got my wife upset.
We want to save them and give them a good home (ours in Tampa, Florida). They are already getting […]
Yes, it is Tropical Fish Hobbyist. Sorry if I referred to it improperly. It is far superior to Aquarium Fish Magazine.
For example, a recent edition of AFM has a long article on keeping U.S. native fish and says that a 30G tank is sufficient for a Channel Catfish. I wonder what the author […]
