Thanks much for the clarification on the two pumps!

I tried ordering the lattice from Eheim parts, but the ordering site doesn't work.

What a pain in the #@(@ dealing with this. It should be a...

Not one dealer in the Houston area has this part! They basically carry the hoses, connectors and such. I could not find it on-line anywhere.

Just checked e-bay - nothing there. What's the...

I have an Eheim 2262 canister filter.
Would someone recommend where I can buy replacement parts - specifically the upper lattice screen which holds back the filter media just before the water pump....

... thanks for the recommendations. I am looking at Catalina Aquarium.

What do you do when you want to power each light separately so you can control them with timers? The Catalina lights have...

I want to replace my old Coralife 2X96 watt light fixtures. What I liked about them is that I can turn each light on separately (two lamp cords per fixture) so that I have 4 light setting during the...

I've done it all ... the problem is that I have a high silicate level in the aquarium that it is not removable. Diatom algae (brownish-green) thrives in a high silicate environment and low light...

Would anyone comment on the effectiveness of UV lights to clear green algae water?

Do they really work - or is it hype?

I have two eheim 2260 filters on my 500g aquarium. I recently completed a metronidazole medication and apart from water changes - how long should I add carbon to one of my eheim's to complete the...

Yesterday was the second dose. The third and final dose is tomorrow.

I am keeping Discus - and they like warm water (84).

This is a 500 gallon show aquarium. I don't have room behind it for a storage vessel of some kind and unfortunately - the tap supply is only a...

Can someone recommend a tankless water heater. I want to be able to change 100 gallons of water (25% water change) maximum. Assuming a 70/30 mix - I should be able to get a 10 gallon per minute...

So 4 gallons of 120 degree water will only raise 100 gallons of 70 degree water - two degrees?

That's not going to work unfortunately... I have to find another way.

The store specializes in Discus. The Leopards they sold me were from a local breeder that the store bought from for the first time. I was the guinea pig.

Most of their Discus come from Asia from...

I changed out 25% of the water and added a second dose of 21grams of Metronidazole for the second phase of treatment.

There is no change so far in the fish that are sick.

A side note: I'll...

If I mix 100 gallons at 70 degrees F to 4 gallons at 120 degrees F
What would the resulting water temperature be of the resulting mixture?

I am preparing to buy a small in-line water heater to...

It's morning:

All fish are still alive.
The one red mellon that was infected is pecking at the wood and munching on something. Good sign? This fish never did that before.

The other 3...

Added 22.179 grams of Metronidazole to 500g aquarium.
Lights are out. I used a small amount of pure grain alcohol (ethyl) to dissolve most of the Metro' and warm water for the rest.

We'll see...

Thanks Ryan,

I have been keeping fish a long time - but this is the first time I have tried Discus. I would love to set up a QT, but the problem is my 500g show tank (see pics) has all kinds of...

I just lost one today ... There are 4 left.

This is painful.

Below is a link to a picture of one of the "sick" Leopards.

I'm hoping I get the Metronidazole in the mail today.

Wait until I post the sick Discus picture ... it will make you sick.
Hopefully the meds arrive today so I can start.

Below is a link to a picture of my 500g aquarium. The pciture does not show all of it, but a section where my healthy Discus are feeding:
...

Discus are progressing worse - still alive and able to move (otherwise I would catch them and get them in a hospital tank).

Metronidazole is expected by Friday, could arrive tomorrow. Two of the...

Would someone recommend a mail order source for high quality fish medicaitons.
I am looking specifically for metronidazole that is conentrated or in a purer form.

Thanks
