    Low PH?

    I just moved my tank the other day. I re-calibrated the pH probe(twice) & my pH is reading low. Right now it's at 7.62. It'll raise as the lights start to brighten up. Anyway I can keep it higher?

    FREE(in a few weeks) Pistol Shrimp

    I'm not exactly sure what type of pistol he is. It was sold as a Candy Cane, but people tell me different things. I've had him since January & he's a bulldozer. I bought a YWG first & when I introduced the pistol at night he nipped at his mouth. They got along fine, but died from an infection or...

    Frozen Mysis Cube & Feeding how to?

    How do you feed your Mysis? I have the cubes of frozen pe mysis. I only have a few fish, so I only use a small portion. When I slice pieces, they come off real small & break up in the water. The fish don't even register the smaller pieces. I feel like I'm wasting it. Is there a trick to this?

    Fish jumps through screen top = death(picture)

    Purchased a Yasha a few weeks ago. He paired with the pistol shrimp but they kinda did there own thing. The other fish didn't bother him or anything. Last 2 days he was out of his hole laying in the back corner of the tank. Still alert & feeding like normal. Well, I came home from work today &...

    GFO/Carbon reactor. Do you have one? Should I get one?

    I've been reading about it lately. Some say don't use it if you don't need it. Others say they use it all the time. I don't have much going on in my 50g yet. 5 fish, couple zoo's, leather, & frogspawn. I have some red slime/cyano, but nothing crazy. Water isn't the clearest. I don't have a...

    Neighbor's Rant Thread

    Me & my fiance moved into a condo/apartment complex last May on the 2nd floor. A lady in her late 30's-40's lives below us. She leaves her TV on the WHOLE night. We wouldn't mind, but it's right above our bedroom. You can clearly hear the voices because it is that loud. We even sleep with a...

    siphon break return line?

    When I turn my return off I'm getting a siphon. It doesn't fill my sump, but it does overflow my skimmer & I have to put the return nozzle down so it doesn't shoot water everywhere. I've read about check valves, but some are against it. Any simple solution so it doesn't siphon. Their is no pvc...
