How do you clean your aquarium after dealing with a disease?
How do you properly clean an aquarium after dealing with any type of disease? Do you let the treatment do it’s work and then do big water changes, or do you hand clean items like the heater, filter housing (not media),…

How do you measure light levels in your tank
Do you have this done from calculating lumens in the light source or with a light meter, or by using an aquarium specific light meter that can be read under water since water will refract the light more? Sent from my…
Might grab another tank or those canister filters they always have 50%. I’ll be curious though on how many my local store has since I know plenty of people who buy >1-2 and then try to resell them later online for close…
Thank you so much for the calendar, especially me using Tapatalk and having each event become a new thread on the community (it lets me see it and the given discussion on that event)! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah I don’t personally recommend them either, if needed, just have a bunch of decorations or plants in order to let the fry hide during the night and pull the adults out once you are certain all of the fry have been…
What are equipment have you used with Amazon Alexa with success? Most of them seem to just do one single function, and that function pretty poorly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’d so mostly flakes, along with wafers once a week for the bottom feeders (or for the fish who like algae). Pellets are good too but I’ve seen too many fish who overeat them before they expand, or if the pellets are…

How do you test the water current to make sure it’s good?
I feel like this is one of the more underrated questions and its answer can be hard, but how do you test the water current to make sure that it has proper flow in all areas (avoiding dead spots unless created underneath…

Livebearers changing genders
I know that this may sound crazy, but I swear I’ve seen it happen where I know a given livebearer was a female (pregnant and had fry), but then randomly got a gonopodium and then suddenly was acting like a male (trying…
Mostly just use bioballs with a prefilter attached on the intake for my filter (I find that having filter pads within the filter works,but over time it slows down the flow pretty exponentially as there are debris that…
In smaller tanks, I’d say it would be a lone species (thinking of Dwarf Gourami or Gourami). In bigger community tanks, I’d probably say a giant shoal of a tetra species. In a cichlid tank, it would more than likely be…
I’d agree, try with many a dozen in order to not waste money in case they aren’t getting enough food, or the Pleco tried to make a quick snack dependent on its size and species. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Do you know of the DIY method they use? Is it cost effective and are there any like dangers using CO2? I know that people have used things like a plastic water bottle, some tubing, and then using yeast, baking soda and…
