water

So I was at Charlie's house the other day picking up an air pump and saw his comps, and was struck by a sudden case of desire. :) So I began researching comps and calvus, and ordered Ad's "Back to Nature Guide to Tangs" (I have and love the Malawi version of this book), which should arrive...

My buddy has a 40gallon tank stocked with 11 tropical community fish filled with well water kept at 72 degrees lit by a basic strip light over the glass top. The tank was cycled and has been operational for two months now. He assures me that the filter is adequate for up to a 60 gallon tank...

Hi all. Lots of you have heard me babbling on about my multi-tank water change system. In case anyone is curious as to how it works, I finally wrote it all down, and illustrated it with photos. http://www.sonnysfishroom.com

Planning to bring some fish to the Catfish Convention in Fairfax, VA and was wondering what the water's like down there (vs. Gaithersburg / Montgomery County water)... I know that Fairfax adds chloramines...but are the sources the same? Any other differences? Thanks, Matt

The seven baby rainbow cichlids growing up in my 30 gallon cube have gotten to the point where all seven of them swim in the front and wait for me to come into the room. And when I do, they all swim around in front of the glass and stare at me until I feed them. And now theyr'e taking the flake...

This thread, in particular MAB's second post, http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/showthread.php?p=70921#post70921 got me to thinking once again about the possibility of using rainwater in one or more of my aquariums. I know that some folks find it very helpful in breeding corys...

We drained the backyard pond Labor Day, and after several years of neglect separated and broke down some of the monster clumps that had grown together (like this one): More pics, most of flowers, are here: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v628/toddnbecka/Pond%20pics/ Unfortunately, there was...

I usually do 50% plus weekly water changes for my 90G african tank. Three weeks ago when I did a water change, my fish were gasping for air little bit but nothing serious. I found one dead tropheus next day. A week later, I did another water change and a few hours later everybody was gasping...

The water in my 180 has become very cloudy :angry3: and I do not know why. Water parameters are all normal (ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 10). I did a 50% w/c on Saturday afternoon and since then the water has seemed to get cloudier each day. Filters were cleaned 2 weeks ago, so I don't think...

When I bought my 180G tank last year it came with a sump and the associated water pump. I did not set up the sump but I do use the water pump for water changes. I am not positive on the ID of the pump, but I think it is a Supreme Mag Drive 9.5 based on comparing it to pictures on line. Here's...

Awoke to discover a leaking ceiling pipe over the hot water heater. Never thought it would be so difficult to find a plumber on the weekend. Finally got in touch with one. He will be here around 12:30. Ah, the joys of home-ownership. :)

That poll thread about changing water that started up in the fall has gotten me thinking about water changes in my fish room. At first, when I was setting it up, several folks here suggested I build in an automatic waterchanging system. Of course, in my haste to get a few tanks set up, then a...
