When I left for work this morning I did a quick check of the tank and for the 2nd morning in a row I didn't find any dead shrimp! In fact I did find 6-7 shrimp roaming around and picking at things.

Last right before the Co2 & lights went off for the night the ph was a 6.8. This morning about 10 mins before the Co2 was due to come back on the ph was a 7.3. Not a huge difference. Though I did...

Well water. In order to pass water tests we needed to have a water softener system installed.

Ok I will get a PH reading tonight right before the Co2 goes off and then in the morning right before the Co2 comes back on. And report back what I get. I was going to lower my Co2 when I got home...

I can tell you that we aren't finding dead shrimp during the day. It is always in the morning after we get up and the lights come on.

Also on another forum someone mentioned that the solar salt...

I upped my GH to 6 over the course of the last few days hoping that would help because quite a few people on different forums have said my GH is low and thats why they are dying. Yet this morning my...

I am Tobinkinz's husband and not some random person about to answer your questions. Lol

1. It was Levamisole. I did 3 85% WC's then added carbon to the filter 2 days before adding the shrimp. All...

Drsfosterandsmith has replacement legs. In the picture on the website they look different but they are the right legs. I know because I've ordered them...twice. Sigh

All my tanks are run off softened well water and all is fine. I just add GH and KH buffer to my planted tanks to replace the buffer that is removed by the water softener.

No reason a paintball system wouldn't work on most tanks, bigger tanks just means more refills at a quicker pace.

Can't wait to see what our tank is going to look like once we get the co2 going!

Thanks for the help. I am having some from another forum put together a really nice set up for me. Should like pretty close to the attached picture.

Awesome. Thank you!

Can you link to the kit you use? You have me interested in looking it up.

Thanks for the info. Lighting and nutrients shouldn't be a problem. We should have plenty of lighting. I have 2 54w T5HO lights on the tank mounted 4 inches from the top in a Nova Extreme T5 SLR...

I want to put together a Co2 system for my 55 gallon tank. I am wanting to do a pressurized Co2 system that I am able to turn on and off with the aquarium lighting.

1. Is there a good kit that...

We got the substrate from aquariumplants.com

Hey gang,

I have a home made water changing device that is similar to a python changers. It works great but getting water out of the tanks is a slow process because the water pressure in our house...

Where is this store you are stocking for?

As long as a free floating plant does okay in the current from the filters I am okay with it. I just think its gonna all end up against the front glass and not spread out nicely.

All my tanks are the same temp well within a degree.

If there was copper in the meds what is the best way to get it out of the tank? I've done quite a few WC's. I assumed that if the meds had copper in them the WC's and adding carbon would get rid of...

Ok. Thanks for the advice.

Will run it by my wife and if she is okay with it then I will do it tonight.

The bigger question is should I do drip acclimation to the new tank or can I just put him right into the new tank if...

I was just going to ask that same question. I would think something like a 48hour heat pack should do the trick.
