Ok I don't have a clue what this means afraid to google it might get some site I don't want to see

Andy how soon after a WC should you check the nitrates? Do you go by water turn over time? My water with two filters turns over about 4 to 5 times per hour.

I've used this with good luck. let it soak for 30 min. Get a razor blade and have fun. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00009EFEX/?tag=thespruce-onsite-prod-20&ascsubtag=7488198%7Cna6010329ae7f4fe09edf0988e016e24519%7CB00009EFEX

Until you fix this see if you have room to sit the filter in a plastic tray or tote. Depending on where the leak is you may need a mirror to see the back side. If it were me I would take it out hook it up outside put the intake and output in a bucket of treated water where you can see what is...

This is like never riding a motorcycle but buying the fastest one made on the planet for your first bike. Aiken is correct learn to walk before you try to run a marathon.

It looks like the L001 and the L022 are one in the same. Why have two numbers for the same fish? Or am I missing something? Maybe they are first cousins.

"my son and he connected the two canister filters under the tank and filled it up. They are now leaking from 2 of the hoses!" Look close is the water leaking below the hose clamp or above it where the black hose meets the grey rubber? So you have two filters are the two hoses on the same...

Was cleaning the water it is not usually that dirty. It made him mad so he changed color. He can make all the red go away.

I tried to stare him down never saw one blink;) Or maybe he blinked the same time I did:blink:

No Andy that is all I have. I found part of a L list but after 100 they all started to look a like.

The lighter color is very yellow. doesn't come out in the photo.

You or my Oscar

Can you take a look see under the house where you want the tank and take a few photos with a tape measure next to the joist? Like Aiken said you might be fine but you don't know what someone has done over the years until you look.

Any well company could tell you how deep your well is. Is your pump above ground or a submersible well pump? https://sunshineworks.com/pages/measuring-your-well-depth

Thank you Andy Is this the one you had? Why sadly not a good one or you just don't have it any more? https://www.amazon.com/Aquarium-Oscars-Animal-Planet-Library/dp/0793837626

Forgot I prefer hardcover.

Looking for a good book lost all mine in a fire. Not a first grade primer something as thorough as possible. Call me old fashion but I still like a good book.

I think you trained your Oscar:ROFLMAO:

Andy I agree about youtube I was just wanting to see how the color charts looked compared to API. I'm blind in one eye and the other one is getting old. If the sun is not out I use a super bright light to use the test kit but still some of those colors are hard to read. I did see a kit where you...

Aiken Thank you I read that thread back in Jan. when I set up my tank I like the charts and the way it shows how ph and temp play a part in how toxic the ammonia really is. My tank cycled in March just before I got my Oscar I stopped using Dr. Tims. Everything has been doing fine. No ammonia or...

I thought I added dechlorinator but it was actually Ammonia 😲 :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:, etc. ) Hey come on that is why I tossed the Tims

So if my tank is cycled I don't need to do this?

I'll give it a try when my API runs out. Could not find a good youtube on it. One I did see looks like the color charts may be easier to read.

Ok I don't have a issue with these but I like to read. I keep seeing some people say to add your ammonia result to your nitrite result. If the combined total is more than 0.5ppm then change enough water to bring it below 0.5ppm combined. Why add these two together instead of just using the...
