    PWC to lower temp in tank, how much

    Just trying to figure out where people stand on this. I have a 55g that reaches about 83 during the day (no heater) and 81 by night. It looks like it is stressing some of the fish out a bit, pretty warm. My water parameters are perfect, finally cycled. When doing a water change, 30% I plan on...

    Diamond Blend in canister filter

    My question, can you just add this to the media tray or should you bag it in nylon? I was looking at the canister, and it seems like it will be ok. I have a Marineland C-220 and 360.

    Using Prime, now high ammonia

    I have a newer tank, up and running a month now. I was using Tetra AquaSafe+ for my conditioner. About 2 weeks ago I got a big spike in ammonia and used AmmoLock for a few days with water changes. It finally calmed down, but I am still doing 30% water changes daily and stopped using AmmoLock...

    adding another filter

    Hello, just looking to see if this is overkill or not. Currently I have a 55g tank with a Marineland C-220 canister filter. It does a great job keeping the tank clean, but I wanted to give it help because I have a "dead spot" in my tank where I don't have much water flow. Currently I have 2...

    Aggressive Blue Danios

    Ok, so I have searched everywhere. Everyone says they are not aggressive and work well in big tanks, so on and so forth... Here is the weird part...there was one big female. She chased everyone around, particularly my rummy-nose tetras. I was tired of the harassment so quarantined her. Next...

    Gravel vacuum..anyone tried Cobalt Power Gravel Cleaner?

    So the gravel vacuum I have right now is pretty bad. I am not getting enough suction. I see the food but its just sitting there. I have tried numerous times, and still very weak. I like the easy route and saw this and thought I would ask. I also saw the 25 Foot - Python No Spill Clean and Fill...

    Bottom feeder, gravel tank

    So my question...I have a relatively new tank with 13 tetras. It is 55 gallons and it has a relatively higher water flow. (220GPH canister and a 425GPH pump) I have soft spots in the tank built for "hanging out". I want to get something that will assist with eating the leftovers from my java...

    Neon Tetras disappeared

    Soo I had 17 yesterday and 12 today. I looked everywhere, nothing. The only place I didn't check was my canister. I have a 55g and it is only 220gph, so I don't think they would have been sucked up but thought I would see if this has happened to anyone?

    New here, my startup..ideas?
