Ha ha that would be my fault. I seen post about u staying a good distance away and figured. I would b more worried about using city water than well. I had a problem with my water at my old place with city water. Mine smelled like chlorine really bad. Ro/di definitely would help understanding ur wat...

Definitely would go buy some puripads from gerwin. Should be all that you would need to run. Some water will come out the faucet kinda cloudy looking, sometimes just from air in pipes, but being on well water there might be some kind of elevated levels. Would definitely start using ro/di water. i a...

RO/DI stands for Reverse Osmosis/DeIonized water. It is pure water--H2O and nothing else. No chemicals, heavy metals, phosphates etc. As far as "removing" stuff needed for a FW tank, it's not really an issue. You add the suppliments that are needed such as pH buffers to lower the pH etc. ...

Isnt rodi water not good for freshwater tanks because it takes out all of the stuff that is needed in the water. Wouldnt running a carbon filter clear the water up? Readi water; there is no problem with it. its actually better in so many ways, it actually puts stuff in thats needed. as for the carb...

i think i pinned down some of my problem and i am screwed; its our water here at home. i was drawing some from our shower fawcet and it was all scuzzy. I don't know what to do.

Pete,
Jami has freshwater tanks. Just lettin you know so you don't go try to buy one for saltwater

They have the API master test kit for saltwater too. they cost a little bit more but i have seen them.

Just wondering is there a test kit for Ammonia? Yes the best one is buy API there are actually two different ones you can get there one just for ammonia or you can get one like i have it costs more but it tests pH, High range pH ( not to sure what the difference is but its two seperate test bottles...

when answering post I gotta go with the knowns before I entertain the unkowns, so some ammonia is not only relative it is most likely the problem, as it indicates either over feeding or a non-established tank or both. Either of those could result in a cloudy water situation. The Solution to polluti...

ok guys i need some help here. my 55 gallons water is really cloudy and it seems to be get cloudier. i don't know whats going on. i ran some tests on my water pH, Nitrates, Nitrites, all good. the amonia is a little high but not in the danger zone. but that really doesn't explain cludy water. everyt...

not a sign of laying eggs.... gonna go with sick Ok. it looks kind of nasty and weird. We weren't sure. we will keep a close eye on her and i will let you know whats going on. by the way the mickey platies are doing great in the 55 gallon the ammonia has come down a little but not much. Is there an...

Hey Gerwin the female in my dads tank is loosing its scales, is that i sign she is getting ready to lay eggs again or is she sick? it looks kind of weird.

Ok will do. We have put dads cartridge in the tank. It seems better and hes puts some of his platies in there they're the hardiest fish we have. We put six in there. So far so good. That's as low on the todum poll we have available besides guppies and they are to fancy to be ginny pigs the problem i...

we were wondering if you would be interested in buying some of our sunset mickey platies dad has them taking over his 36 gallon and they are beginning to take over my 10 gallon. I meant to ask while we were in today but i forgot.

Hey Jamie. Yes fish can have heart attacks just like you and I in a sense in that they can have heart problems. They can have anuerisms, strokes etc. It could be any number of things. Sorry for your loss but it happens. I would actually most likely guess that it may have died from tank shock more t...
