since it's an AiO, and not a sump sitting in the stand, below the aquarium,... I don't have to worry about the canister's flow going down over time as the media gets clogged and this throwing the...

Hi,

Need some advice. My freshwater JBJ Rimless Flat Panel 65gal AiO has been running for a year now. The filter seems to get really dirty every week. I usually change 25-30% of the water...

Welcome and congrats!

I lost a 90gal reef tank during the Northridge earthquake.
The 3 apartments below me + the manager's office below them all knew I had a saltwater tank that night :( since...

changed order from 5mm to medium 3mm. Arived Thurdsday. It's probably 1.5mm, unless they're measuring circumference and not diameter. Either way, tiny, but not too cloudy/dusty after light...

Just bought some (tonight) to increase depth in my tank (volcanit rio escura substrate) . After reading reviews about it not needing much washing and buffering pH, i'm hoping to be able to slowly...

405 has them at $2ea. I was there tonight and picked up 10x cardinals, 3x sterbai, and 2x otos.

looks like everything's stabilized.
only a couple of ich grains on the 2 remaining cardinals.
only a little left on 2 of the smaller 3" clowns - the ones that look like they have skinny disease -...

dosed 1.5mL Cupramine 2 days ago.
25% wc right before, but no wc in past 2 days.

a 4.5" clown died this morning - a really fat one that had been seemingly one of the healthier ones until the past...

Hi Nick,

Copramine arrived.
It says to dose 1ml for every 10.5gal (sw) or 21gal (fw).
Just confirming your note above... should I halve it again bc of the scaleless Clowns,... reduce to 1.5ml...

well, that 3" clown died too - 10/27/19 - overnight sometime.
most of the others are eating, but a few, 3 or 4, are not.
they're all pretty fat, so not liking the lack of appetite but they won't...

and now a 3" clown has died and another 3" clown looks bad.
the others look about the same as yesterday.
did a 25% wc, holding the temp at 84°F.
waiting for my Cupramine, Cuprisorb and Cu testing...

Well, the candy pleco didn't survive the night. Found him dead this morning. No other mortality.

tgif so I have time to consider and implement any options.

thank you so very much for taking the time to spell this all out.
I will consider while I'm at work today and see what to do tonight and...

Welcome!

have continued to do 15% wc and treat at 2/3 strength daily, but may skip treatment tonight, do another 15% wc tomorrow, and maybe the ich-x will show up and I can consider switching.
should be same...

all the fish are still alive, save for the initial cardinals.
the biggest clown is more active, swimming and her eyes are clearer.
some of the clowns are showing more spots, and some less.
but,...

nitrate <20 ppm
nitrite 0.5 ppm
hardness 75 ppm
chlorine 0 ppm
alkalinity 80 ppm
pH 7.0

pics 3 and 4 are of the largest of my clowns.
she's the most lethargic now, and shows less ich than some of the small clowns, but seems worse off.
also looks like her eyes are showing fungus? ...

Help, please.

So I got 20 cardinals 2 weeks back, put them in a qt tank for a week, and then into the main tank (65G planted) with my clowns.
And then a week later - boom - everyone has ich.

Mangrove... that would be pretty cool.

The Opaes only reproduced when the algae bloomed, the salinity was >1.010sg, and when I gave up on plants altogether.
FordTrannyman gave me some African brackish plant... I forgot the name... and...

Here's what it look like.

The little guy didn't make it. :(

So, after work today, I popped by 405 Tropical Fish to pick up some blood worms and frozen food, when I notice a rail thin clown loach. I talked to the guy there and pointed out the skinny loach and...
