well i ran into a problem. i moved the 125 gallon from my bedroom cause i'm going to paint my room in a couple weeks. When i drained it i found that the seals with lifting up and not staying all the way sealed to the corners and parts of the seal were coming off. So i put my fish in a spare 75 gallon that i wasnt using. I bought the 125 gallon on craigslist from a man that said he had it for over ten years and it had sat dry most of that time. I took a chance on it not leaking but now seeing this i cant risk the damage that a leak on a big tank like that would cause. So i'm gonna have to keep my acei in the 75 gallon til i can get a new 125 gallon which will be a while. I know i could reseal the tank but i'm not handy at all and would not trust myself to reseal it. i love fish keeping but man its frustrating. what cannister filter would ya'll recommend for a 75 gallon?

yes but i just want to wait til i can afford a fx6 cause they seem the be the best bang for your buck. I dont want to run out and spend money on a cheaper one then later get a fx6.

i have four medium sized aquarium co op sponge filters. my fish are also still pretty small and i would get a fx6 before they are full grown.

i have a 125 gallon tank with 13 yellow tail acei that are all about 2 inches. I have 4 sponge filters and 2 aquaclear 110s. the aquaclears are so loud and i've taken them apart and cleaned them so many times and they are still loud. I also have pothos plants. I'm thinking about just taking them off and just running the tank with four sponge filters. Is this doable? Atleast while the fish are still on the smaller side. I want to get a cannister filter in the future before they get full grown. Will running a big tank with four sponge filters work for a while? any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

My ph is 8.2, gh 12 kh 10. I have a 125 gallon mbuna tank. I'm thinking about doing a seiryu stones aquascape. I know that sieryu stone will raise the ph, gh, kh. Would it be safe for someone who already has high ph and hard water too add seiryu stone to their tank? I dont want my ph in particular going too high. thanks for any insights

i'm treating my 125 gallon with paracleanse for parasites. i put 12 packets in there which would treat 120 gallons since the box says 1 packet per 10 gallons. so is it okay for me to underdose by 5 gallons or should i put in a 13th packet which would treat 130 gallons according to the box? i cant measure out the packets precisely.

yes i use fritz complete

ph 8.2 / nitrates never above 40 ppm / gh 12 / kh 10 / nitrite 0 / ammonia 0 / water temp 78F. My mbuna have been flashing for over a year now i've tried salt for 3 weeks, ich x for 30 days, paracleanse. maracyn, expel p and the fish still flash everyday. They are breeding and eat fine but over time i'll have one stop eating lay on bottom and breathe rapidly then die a few days later. The fish flash everyday but dont seem to die fast. i'm to the point where i'm thinking about giving up. i've spent so much money treating these fish and nothing helps. any feedback on what you would do would be appreciated thanks

Thanks for the advice I'll see how it goes

I just went with 12 packs

I'll just treat the whole tank it'll be easier than tearing my tank apart trying to catch fish. So should i add 11 packs or 12 packs of expel p for 125 gallons. I mean 12 packs or 13 packs? Lol sorry I have the meds on hand

i feed them northfin kelp flakes and veggie pellets with the occasional soilent green repashy. I feed them 3 times a day cause i have 9 adults and about 20 fry about a inch long in the tank.

yes some flashing but i've treated with ich x and paracleanse with no luck so i just let it be. i've treated with those meds in the past not recently

i have about 30 saulosi mbuna in a 125g species only tank. My parameters are ph 8.0, gh 12, kh 10, temp 78 Fahrenheit, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate never over 40ppm. I do 2 50% water changes every week. Yesterday out of nowhere one of my male saulosi was twirling like a perfectly thrown football. He then began swimming normally. He ate very aggressively off top of water as he always does. Today when the light first came on he was swimming tilted to one side a little bit. then he ate normally and is swimming normally again. All the other mbuna are all swimming normally with no signs of twirling. Has anyone had any experience with this strange behavior? Should i do anything or just wait and see? Thanks for any feedback

i'm treating some mbuna fry in a 40 breeder with ich x. my questions is how many gallons do i treat for? i've seen people say a 40b is 40 gallons, 45 gallons, 47.5 gallons? i'm confused. my 40 breeder is the standard 36x16x18. thanks for any help
