    Hair Algae on floater roots

    One other question in regards to PAR ( coming from reef world) I have some Anubis, Java fern, repens, and Amazon sword - I know Anubis and fern are lower light but what about the sword and repens will they get enough with the intensity set at about 3-4 hours and the low light for about 8-12 ?

    Hair Algae on floater roots

    Greetings- I know the questions you are all going to start with ( water chemistry readings) - I took this in the morning before leaving for work so I will have to get those when I get home.... The problem seems to be most related to the roots of the penny wort but I do have some small breakouts...

    Sponge Filter on In flow nozzle

    In trying to lower the flow (the current flow is a little higher than I would like) I have put a intake pre filter on the output nozzle - I understand that sponge will get yucky and I will need to clean - Does anyone know of any issues this will create - the flow is still breaking surface...

    What to eat... while away

    Hi all - thank you again for all the help you have provided.... one more question I am going to be away for about 3 days in about a month - I will be using a feeder to feed the fish while I am gone - biggest problem is the apisto he happily eats frozen blood worms and daphne but not so much...

    Cacatuoides Male ?

    Here is a better picture- I assume it may end up with maybe more yellow - and I saw one very similar except the entire top fin was yellow and could not see Ray ...... maybe female - here is a better pic of the male

    Apistos and Ember Tetras

    Yea the filter chamber - and I have a vent cover coming as it seems to be a thing - as I replaced the two missing and now one of those is gone - so I never looked into the middle chamber but will bet that is where they ended up

    Apistos and Ember Tetras

    I want to start by saying thank you to all - this is a very helpful forum- For me it’s in some ways like first starting - I have kept fish both salt and fresh for some time but with the fresh tried to stay community type to avoid conflicts- but have never dealt with apistos and only once with...

    Cory’s and Apisto ( singular)

    Good evening all... Before I make another rash decision - I was hoping to get a solid consensus if possible- I have never had Apistos before so I am learning the ropes of owning them.... What I have read in forum searches is that you can/ you cannot / you should / you should not - So let me...

    First Time Owner Mistake... any thoughts ?

    Yukondog..... thank you - is that an inverted coke bottle - and I suppose it’s trial and error to make sure you get the right fish .... as I do have others in there with them thank you Mike.... so I assume that gets back to the original issue.... I do not think it will get better and one will...
