    Covered or uncover?

    Charlie, I am not sure why. It intially started because I did not want my cats going fishing for a midnight snack and now it is just habit I guess. Anne

    Hydrogen Peroxide, Chlorine & ORP

    Are diatoms the same as cyano?

    Somebody spending too much time watching Top Gun? :) Anne

    Are diatoms the same as cyano?

    Curt, isn't also true that cyano can be caused by over feeding? Shoot, can be caused by several things at once--rather than just being one cause. Anne

    Covered or uncover?

    I have eggcrating on top of my tank, but at night I always put the glass lid back on. Usually comes off when I turn the lights on. Anne

    Krazy Glue

    I lost my scooter blenny today. Boils down to me keeping the very bottom part of the penguin intake off of the filter because the intake was too long. I bought a 30 gallon penguin filter for a 10 gallon quarenteen tank and I could not fit the very bottom piece on--and me being paranoid about...

    Ick update

    As I understand it the plan is supposed to be to get the SG down to where the ich drops off. What I am unsure of is how long it is after I stop seeing spots that I can put them in the main tank. Clock is running on main tank already and that has to go 6 weeks and the fish cannot be put into...

    Ick update

    I don't have much of a plan for the tank other than what I am doing now. I did take Steve's suggestion and lowered the amount of light that the tank is getting. I have one of those Hobby Lobby fold in half flouresent lights and I just folded it up to reduce the amount of light. I have seen...

    Fish Moving Time Please!

    I am sorry for your loss. As to water and fish analysis-I have no clue. You might check with your LFS or a veternary in your town. They might know where to send it. Anne

    Ick update

    OK, so far all fish seem fine. SG is at 1.019, ammonia is up and still have another wc tonight, ph is fine. It looked like my scooter blenny was gasping a little bit earlier so I now have an air pump with two hoses (NO diffuser) pumping in pea sized bubbles and I think his distress has eased...

    At this point I only have 3 fish and all three of them are in qt and will remain there until I am sure that none of them have spots. Anne

    Thanks, we found the ick on our scooter blenny--still unsure about the bi-color blenny as he is still quite the scardy fishy. Will post complete update tomorrow. Anne

    Fish Moving Time Please!

    PWC's ??????? Not familiar with this abbreviation--what does it mean other than panic water changes. Also something I discovered, even though I did not know that it was ick at the time causing it, I found that putting an air hose on an air pump and then sticking the hose (with NO diffuser)...

    No, I don't have a refractometer and I don't think the LFS that I usually deal with has one either. They are strong proponents of keeping it simple and I don't think that piece of their equipment fits into their plans. On top of that I am not sure that I could afford it. Not sure if you...

    _________________________________________________________________ Nikki, Would using Bio Coat by Marineland Labs be OK? It says it will boost the immune system with something called Bio-Gard and help reduce environmental stresses on the fish. Anne

    I am working on getting the qt up and going and I also bought some bio-coat to put in the water after it is filled. Should that help as well??? Anne

    Thank You Nikki. I will focus on getting the qt tank up and going and reading the articles when I can sit for a moment.
