These might include but are not limited to: 1) Microbiology experiments - including cycling, 2) Product experiments., 3) Quarantine experiments., 4.
Let the tank sit like this for 1 day. After you have waited a day for the tank to sit, test the tank to see where the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH levels are at. You need ammonia and nitrite to be ZERO. Nitrate can be present in numbers up into teens. pH should be in the normal pH range (7.8-8.3).
For 15 years, she kept a dozen freshwater tanks, bred cichlids--Cyphotilapia frontosa--and sold them to pet stores in Calgary. Finally, after years of study, she has come to saltwater side. She lives in British Columbia, Canada, with her husband and three special-needs dogs, a five-minute walk from the Georgia Strait.
Other Suggested Causes. Nutritional deficiency, outside toxins or contaminates being introduced into the aquarium, a gas embolism caused by a sudden rise in tank temperature, excess copper, nitrate or ammonia, stress, and the gas bubble disease theory are other suggested causes as to why popeye might occur.
Get em small, cover them with a baster, scrape the baster along the rock, when the bubble comes off release the plunger and suck it up. Discard and repeat. If you have a lot to do, by the time you are done you will be ready to add new mixed water to complete the water change. Be aggressive with your manual removal.
Stage 3: Nitrate Cycle. Nitrates are removed within the live rock deep inside in all of the deep pours. This hidden bacteria consumes the nitrate and creates nitrogen gas as a byproduct. The nitrogen gas rises in the water column and escapes into the air. When one gas leave, another enters.
Install Nanostream in the bottom of the reservoir to constantly mix the water. AWC Setup: Parts: GHL Controller, GHL Power Bar, GHL Float Switches, and GHL Maxi Doser. Install: Install high/low float switches in the reservoir. Install high/low float switches in the sump.
Why fish get bacterial infections. What You Need To Know: * Infections can be caused by either Gram‐positive or Gram-negative bacteria. Gram-negative infections are typically more virulent, and more common in marine fish. * Bacterial infections are often "secondary" to a preexisting parasitic or worm infestation.
in full saltwater over 6 months. in brackish, a year and a half. I have 10x return flow and a 20x powerhead in my tank, which is a nano, so a lot of flow. They survive, but there are some challenges: I've had a small molly get stuck in the rocks when my powerhead was blasting the rocks, so I no longer blast my rocks with flow.
