Don't ask.

Did some plotting, looks like the trip & return would bring things around 6 hours. I guess I'll pass on this one. But thanks for the offer.

New York is a pretty big place. If you can narrow the point of pick-up a little more, I could see if it is worth the gas money to salvage it here. Eventually I'll have to put my Comets into something...

I read the instructions for my Aqua Clear 20 and they say the same thing, monthly basis. But I don't plan on doing it that quick either.

I'm curious though, if your bio filter is fully submerged,...

This is a little alarming...

Well I'm not sure I'd worry about pH so much. Ammonia is the main killer, and the one you usually have to worry about spikes.

I'm always at pH 7.5, but since I'm taking care of Comets, it's fine...

I suppose, they could also add more gravel which would add more surface area for the bacteria to do their work.

I forgot to add, you failed to obey the basic rule in Quariums 101. NEVER add more than 3 fish at a time in your tank. This serves many failsafe purposes, not to mention saving ecconomic loss when...

It seems you were asked a few times on what you used to dechlorinate, but I did not see a response. If you did, then I missed it.

Without a dechlorinator, you may have found the culprit. Even if...

I do not mean to come across as negative, but to be honest, I believe it would be in the best interest of both the fish, and the customers that you do not get this job. At least not for a few years....

Never heard of that branch. But I've seen just about everything. Being next to Marine Land, there's been years and years of visitors horrified by what they've seen here. Lately there's been some...

It is quite ironic that I was planning to add in some tombstones today as part of the water-change. Oh well, I've got a second stone in as well, just in case I lose another Comet (blush)

I thew...

I tested the intake with my finger, it didn't seem too strong, though it does look like my Aqual Clear 20 does pour out quite a bit of water for such a small size of my Comets.

Anyhow, I've been...

Yes, I was wondering if they died and drifted there, but then I am still puzzled. They were doing fine less than a couple hours before, and I went out to buy some stuff. Came back, and the one was...

I lost my first comet today. Found him sucked against the intake tube of my pump. To be honest, I had been wondering if something like this would happen, but assumed these engineers know what they...

I guess there is such a thing as too much gravel?

I don't see a need to return the fish, especially since there was nothing wrong with them from the store.

And I agree that a 10% change is pretty much a waste of time.

If a store refused to...

I do less than once a day. Not because I forget, but sometimes more than what I planned on falls into the tank.

The label instructs me to do MULTIPLE times a day, yet does not state what multiple...

From my understanding, betas are ok as long as you only have one male around to cause a fight :P

The three little comets I have right now were supposed to be sold as live bait, so I saved them...

Recently at a halloween store, I saw a few small ornaments that reminded me of the same looking material in the stuff you see for aquariums at PetSmart. Only 1/10'th the price.

I'm wondering, if...

Yes, I was well aware before I put them in here they are not suited in a 5 gallon tank. They are babies for now and I will be moving them later into a bigger space, and putting something else in this...

I've always worried about not enough aeration, but now I'm wondering about too much. I have a Marina 50 pumping into just a 5 Gallon tank. An airstone is attached as well. It has a maximum of 1.13...

I sure hope that smell isn't chlorine :hmm3grin2orange:

Shocking to see that many die just over-night from Ammonia alone. I"m not so sure there...

It would not be the first time I've see an X-partner, or mischevious child poison an aquarium for either...

What I did was use TopFin Bacteria Supplement, as I used their Conditioner before hand to declorinate the tap water.

I'm not liking how shortly after adding the supplement, the water has gone...

I guess that means that not everyone who works at PetSmart knows what they are talking about? :goldfish:

Anyhow, I understand my three little babies may grow up to one food in length, if they...
