Community Fish Talk / pH
« Last post by Jax1108 on September 07, 2020, 01:29:44 pm »
Hi Everyone!
So we have had our new fish for 3 days now! We cycled our planted tank, 20gal, for a week before adding 1 betta, 7 albino gold tetras, 2 kohli loaches, and 2 ottos (oh and one tiny snail got transferred over with the plants! Bonus!) I did have a pet store test the water to make sure it was cycled before adding the fish, the told me "everything looks good but your pH is a bit high." Then another gentlemen employee who was standing by interrupted and said you don't really need to worry about the  pH, just the Nitrate, Nitrite and Ammonia. I just tested the water again and Ammonia was 0, Nitrite was also 0 but pH was 8.0 or higher. Our tap has a filter system (Rain Soft) so I am so that makes our water alkaline.
Do I need to do anything about this?
Also, did the first water change today at about 20-25%. Is it not a good idea to test same day as a water change? When's the best time to do that?
Sorry, so many questions - I just want to do this right!!

Hi Everyone! I am so excited to be here!
It's funny, never in my life have I ever thought I would own fish as an adult (had a small tank as a kid of course) because - and get ready for this, its a little nuts - I actually have ichthyophobia! I have been working on it for years (thanks to my husbands help) and am actually looking forward to having some fish! (small ones to start! haha)

It was my daughters (5) idea to get a fish tank in our new home! This year has been nuts for everyone, obviously, but for her it was ALSO the year of a move and starting school! So having something to look forward to, like getting some beautiful fish, has really helped her adjust to such difficult times!

We have our tank setup, still trying to make my way through the nitrogen cycle and as soon as that is good to go we are ready to get our fish! I am looking forward to learning more (total newbie!) about this hobby that I am sure is going to be great for our family!!

Hello everyone! Glad to have found a community for my recent endeavor into african cichlids. Currently I have a 55 gallon cichlid tank with an electric yellow, a pair of blue maingano, Red Zebra OB, Peacock (not sure what kind he is), Blood Parrot, 9" Senegal Birchir, 2 common plecos (5" at the moment) and 1 growing Venustus that we didn't realize would get so big. We have a couple other tanks as well, 20 gallon freshwater community tank, 10 gallon fancy guppy tank and our little beta. Really enjoy the fish hope to get a lot out of the forum.

I'mean living very close to you!

Hello!
  I'm a beginner at all this. (I heard that lol)
OK, so I've always loved fish since I was a kid. My Aunt had a 100 gal  tank and I used to stare at that tank for hours! Mom wouldn't ever let me have one so...that was that. I got married at 19 and had kids so I didn't have much time for much else. Now the kids are all pretty much grown.
  I have been very sick and right now I'm pretty much confined to my bed or the house. My husband bought me a Fluval flex 9 gallon tank. I thought it would be very calming and peaceful to watch when I am ...you know, bedridden.  I can take care of the fish so don't worry. I don't have much of a social life and hope to make a few friends.
  If you wanna know anything else. Just ask!

Planted Tank Talk / Re: Can i add plant substrate to gravel
« Last post by PaulMartin61 on April 09, 2017, 01:55:08 pm »
You can, yes.
Understand that it could be a rather large mess depending on the 'planted' substrate you choose to use. 


The easiest way would be to move 1/2 of the current substrate to the opposite side of the tank, then add your new 'planted' substrate.  Then do the other end the same way, placing your old substrate on top of your newly laid substrate.
When complete, simply spread the old substrate over the new for best results.


You can, however simply mix the two together.  You'll still see a benefit to your plants growth, yet not as beneficial as you would if the grow media was on the bottom for the roots.

Good luck!
