AbbeysDad

Hi,
I have just found that my source water is high in nitrates, JDM has mentioned that you may be able to suggest a filter that removes nitrates. I think the problem is recent as the last time I checked the source water it was all in the green zone on my test strips.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I know that you're pretty familiar with the fluval HOB filters , just wanted to ask you a question. I have the C4 on my 55 and was wondering if I transferred the biological c-nodes to a 20 gallon long would that be enough to instantly cycle it? I also plan on putting floating in the 20 also to help just in case.

should be good now.

Oh.

It says "Your friendship with AbbeysDad is already pending"

I'll see if I could send it to you again.

Why haven't you accepted my friend request?

LOVE the new ava. . . I can't help but grin back *GRINS*

Now, now....'Father knows best' -

OK...Now you've done it! Robert Young is just completely. irredeemably, unrepentantly, irreconcilably.....

Over....the....top!

Orders of magnitude scarier than clowns.

Fortunately they calmed down today and the male is allowing the female to tend the eggs. They are on occasion doing some twitching and odd kiss pecking. I think they should get a room!

I did my tank maintenance and water change today and a couple of hours later my angels are spawning again!!! This almost seems unreal.

Thanks for asking. For the most part they're doing okay (about a dozen). I do see a couple that are noticeably smaller than the others, but can't be sure if this means they'll be stunted, won't make...

For what it's worth every pump I've ever bought comes with a check valve and a manufacturers recommendation to use it if the pump will sit below the water line. Although starting a siphon may be...

My bad. Everything was fine all day yesterday...but when I checked on them first thing this morning, many were missing from the breeder net. I saw a few down on the leaf, being 'mouthed' by the...

Well, right now they're just tiny polywog like critters. I'm [also] looking forward to when they begin to look like angel fish.

Well the fry are up and swimming around (yesterday after the rescue many were in between wigglers and swimmers and some just seemed to lay there). There's a good two dozen there. I'm feeding them...

This morning I found that some of the wigglers were nearly swimmers but when any strayed from the plant leaf, a parent would scoop them up and redeposit some of them back on the leaf. It looked like...

I think we all can admit that due to the rainfall, the water in the amazon is soft and very, very pure. So even though our fish may have been grown in water that falls short, most of our tropical...

I was a bit bummed when I looked tonight and saw that all of the white eggs were gone. Then I noticed a small somewhat grey mass on another leaf and after I got my glasses, they are clearly...

I don't dispute advanced bio-filtration. However, this typically does not include crustaceans and plants/algae. (ref: bio-sand filters used in the 3rd world where foul, polluted water is poured in...

Please note: Although I use it primarily for nitrates, API Nitra-Zorb also claims to be effective in adsorbing ammonia and nitrites as well as nitrates. Although I suggested pre-filtering, it would...
