water

At our last meeting/auction I saw a couple of bags on the table containing fish and blue water. I know from my shipment of fish from Dave's the blue water is created through something that highly enriches the oxygen levels in the water. I am thinking of tanking the yellow lab and rusties I have...

so im having a problem in my 75 gal. mbuna tank with protein film (i guess). i feed pretty much the same foods and use the same kind of filtration (canisters) on both of my big tanks and this one is the only one i have a problem in. my question is can i build a pvc overflow to attach to my...

I have two of these 55g drums, with slide off lids, available should anyone need them for water collection. PM if interested. I should be going to the picnic, so could deliver there.

My 75 gallon tank simply will not hold. I have tried everything including travelling great distances to pick up used filters from Jon and Chris was kind enough to come to the apartment to take a look. The amoonia goes up to .50 to 1 inside 1 day and the water will not stay unclouded for more...

Hey, Those of you in Howard County... esp. North Laurel... What are you getting for your dKH out of the tap? checked it last night and it is supposedly 3dKH... though this was really low for municipal tap. Or maybe not?

Ok, all you water experts. My question is: If I leave for vacation for 4 weeks, can I premake bucktes of dechlorinated water for the fish sitter? I have a bunch of 2 gallon jugs with lids. Will the water get nasty over the course of, 1, 2 , 3 or 4 weeks? Is it safe to use after sitting around...

Hi all. I'm new here. I've got a tank (125g) that I got from a guy who used to keep piranha in it. I got this thing going back in December, and it's been doing well. There's a couple issues though. The first is that I have a lot of aprticulate in my water - all the time. I have a Heim Pro II...

Hello All -- In my 29g Tank I have 6 williamsi fry and 6 cheware fry. For filtration I have an aq30 and a penguin 200. For some reason, I cannot get the water clear. It is not cloudy, but it looks like it has small particles floating around. I did a 40% water change today and I am seeing...

I stumbled upon a kent marine ro/di unit for a reasonable price. My question is, for those of you out there that use ro water, why? Don't most fish adjust to local water conditions, especially if you are getting your fish from others in your same area. What are the benefits of having/using...

I relocated the system for easy access... currently my system is pumping out about 11GPH... here is an article i wrote about it --> http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/fo...read.php?74275

http://www.dcwater.com/news/listings/press_release540.cfm From March 26 to May 7. I've never seen it affect my dechlorination process, but you never know.

So I just did a 1/3 water change in my 55g tank. It had been 2 weeks since my last water change since I was out for surgery. Normally I use my aqueon python thing to take the water out and then buckets to put water in. Well today i used the python thing for both. To protect against clorine...

I just found this on the internet. An article on water chemistry / quality by a great aquarist. This is why I never put salt (sodium) into my tanks. http://www.tbas1.com/Exchange/The%20New%20England%2011.pdf

Thought I was good at growing algae til I actually wanted to grow it.. :mad: What recipes have you all used to spur a green water growth? Thanks!

So I am going to make the following pipe and tubing setup for two of my tanks. The 3rd is a 20 long RCS that I only use cups to change water, so no shrimp get the boot. I'm hoping this will work fairly well. The tubing will be rolled up after the valve is closed and left next to the tank until...

While doing a water change on Sunday, I tripped over a bucket and dumped probably a gallon of water on the carpet. I sopped it up quickly with towels and used a little hand-held wet vac (used for pet messes) to suck up some remaining water. I came home last night and there is a moldy-type odor...

Found an adjunct for sale for my RO unit that will allegedly double output and cut down on waste water. Says I need 65psi for it to work - anyone have a gauge I can borrow or a recommendation on how I might test my water pressure that doesn't involve spending money I could otherwise fritter...

So when I bought my 92 gal it came with a sump, and I was obviously excited to learn/screw around with new equipment. After having it set up as a wet/dry with filter floss on top of a drip tray on top of bio-balls, with lava rock rubble, and more floss before the return pump, the water just is...

Has anybody tried one of these? Underwater Brine Shrimp Hatchery

Hey there, So I was adding water to my 20 gallon long tank and my 2 month old Marineland filter stopped working! I tried to unplug it for a while and nothing happened when I plugged it back in. I made sure that the outlet was still working. There is no sound at all coming from the motor...
