Okie dokie, this weekend it will be done :) Cory have been known to eat krib fry, we'll see.
The fry are a good quarter inch long mostly so it could be a good time to find out.
Thank you all...

I have quite a few bronze cory fry about 3 weeks old. If I put them in a tank with adult corys (no other fish) is there any possibility of the adults eating them?

Mardel's Maroxy. Been using it to keep fungal infections down in bronze cory fry tanks. The label warns not to use it more than five days, come day five after having put the eggs in the tank,...

What is the difference between stabilized chlorine and the chlorine found in chlorinated tap water?

Does stabilized chlorine chlorinate water that has previously been dechlorinated?

Received one of these and an undergravel with a Powerhead 802 from someone that bought a house with a built-in. They have no interest in aquariums, soooooo...! :)
Not sure how reliable the Magnum...

Good morning!
The gravel was kept wet, packed in plastic lined boxes.
This morning the water is considerably clearer so I'll wait out today and keep an eye on it. I won't be cleaning out the...

I've just now re-adjusted the powerhead to redirect flow and we can see 'clouds' of white. We can clearly see what looks like a very fine particulate.
The filter...hmmmm... come morning I'm taking...

It wasn't shut down for anything other than the move, about an hour and a half, tops. I do agree it does look like bacterial bloom. Can't describe it much better than that, it looks like a bacterial...

We've picked up the tank. installed etc., looks good! Turns out to be an 80, not a 90 but geeze, it was free!!
Set it up yesterday. First thing I did was throw in about 25 gallons of de-chlorinated...

Second attemt to post this before 'operation timed out' :(
Yesterday I scrubbed the inside of the tank to no avail so thought the green was on the outside. Went today and bought a gallon of...

Glofish aren't dyed either, they are a strain that were genetically modified and now breed to these colors.

Thanks for the suggestions. It isn't from tape, looks like water stains and it is pretty much all over the back of the tank. I'll try both suggestions :)

Picked up and installed our 80gallon today. Thought it was a 90 but hey!
Anyway, there was a piece of dark melamine taped to the back of the tank. We removed it and we like that look better. We...

Correction: That is a Whisper 100, not 600. (blush)

Holy water Batman!!! :ssuprised:
Okay, that does it. One more thing we will do is cut down on the number of pumps we have and gang what we can. We are running about 5 right now while a Whisper 600,...

An interesting read, thank you Fraoch.

Okie dokie then, check valves it is! We'll do some shopping.
Thanks Ray!

A friend gave us a small air pump with an in line check valve that he had added. He said it was to prevent the tank from emptying onto the floor through the pump in the event of the pump shutting off...

An AC we have recently backed up because I had a cartridge sitting too high with the leveler set so it was level.
So, going back to the original question of what happens when the filter gets...

I'm working on an idea for a freshwater refugium, a planted shrimp tank. This would be a display tank, not a 'sump' hidden away from view.
Anyone here using something similar? What plants do you...

Going to take this off topic a bit :) Here's even more reason to hate us...the tank, the whole set-up-- stand, everything... is a freebie.
An acquaintance we haven't been in contact with for some...

If its clackety, fine, I can fix it thank you thumbs2: We've had the same problem with a couple of HOB's resulting from the top end of the intake not seated properly.
We so appreciate your input on...

That's interesting about the impeller seat. A common complaint about the filter from those that don't like it is the rattle. I found it odd that some were quiet, some weren't.
So,with the seat too...

Thank you terrapin. Sounds good and I think that is how we will go. The floss we use is in a sheet (blanket) and is inexpensive. Do you cut to the basket size and use a few layers of it or do you...

Thanks for the replies folks. One thing I read (complaint) was that it is a nitrate factory.I don't understand that. Nitrates are converted from nitrites so.....??
What kind of media is usuallu...
