I have it figured out :)

It seems as Wildturky first suggested the pH is changing after oxidizing.
I had dechlorinated a glass of tap water and and there was no change in the pH. I had planed on...

Thanks for the responses, I will stop trying to adjust the pH with chemicals.

Right now I am doing about 30% water changes every week.

My tap water is around 6.2 but the the water from the tank...

I suspected the tap water at first because I recently moved but so far it is still acidic after chlorination, but am going to let a glass sit over night and check it tommorrow.

However the water...

The pH in my 10G tank is too high, it is so high that it is off the chart of Nutrafin's low range pH test. It may be a coincidence but the high pH seems too coincide with an outbreak of green algae....

I had no problems moving my tank, all the fish and plants are healthy and the water conditions are perfect.

I just had my internet service installed today, it is nice to be back online.

I hope these are usful, click the thumbs for full size.

I have lots of diatoms and some spots of green algea that have recently appered in a tank that has just recently been cycled. I will try to get some good shots for you.

Wow, that sounds like a great method for moving over long distances.

I should really look into a local club, but that is the great thing about this community. It brings people of all backgrounds and experience levels together based on our common interest. I love it.

Ok, thanks everyone, these suggestions are very helpful.

I'm glad I don't have to worry about toxins in the filter. I think I am going to put some of your suggestions together.
I will bag the...

I just got my tank fully established and now I have to move.
Fortunately it is a short trip to my new place but I am trying to figure out the best way to go about moving everything. Thankfully my...

Very nice, I really like the rocks. They add a natural feel.

Thanks everyone

These fish are frustratingly hard to photograph, especially trying to get them in a group. Here is my favorite so far.

Great, thanks for the help!

I was hoping the first was java fern. The Salvinia Natans isn't in any of the books I have so I didn't have a clue. It seems to be an interesting plant and the price...

Hello all!

I recently bought some java moss for my 10G tank. When I got it home I noticed there was another plant attached to the bottom, so I stuck it in the gravel just to see if it would...

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. I didn't realize I could add it directly to the tank, that is very good to know.

Figuring out the volume of each drop is a great idea, as is the color coded...

another newb question for everyone.

I have been getting in the habit of doing small frequent water changes in my 10G tank.

I have found using a 4 liter water jug convenient because of its...

Thanks everyone :)

I havn't been able to get a good shot of my other betta yet.
He is very dark blue and his tank isn't as brightly lit.

When it gets dark tonight I am going to try to get shot...

Thanks all, as soon as I turned out the lights in the room he spotted his reflection in the glass. From what I have seen so far Bettas have a lot of personality.

That is good to know, the filter that came with my 10g is of course rated for a maximum of 10g.

I couldn't resist posting this one

Thank you :)

Oh, I see. I can relate to that lol :l23:

Thanks everyone :)

Here is one more from today, it was difficult due to a large window opposite the tank. I am going to try and get some good shots of my tanks now that it is dark here.
