No, I’m about too tho. A 25% prob. Here is the pictures btw. The lighting is kinda ruff. But it’s 0 guaranteed.
-
Ammonia is 0 at the moment. The nitrite is 0. Nitrates is between 5 and 19 ppm @DBrown918. @Tony s.
-
You have to use the gel glue on ACs website. But I think it looks awesome, it looks healthy!
-
Yes I know, ammonia poisoning. Might be the issue. I am dosing prime, have been for 2 months now, with every water change @DBrown918. @johnnyxxl, it is strange why all of this is even happening….
-
Ok I will test nitrates soon. But I am having company right now so that explains my late reply, sorry everyone My nitrite is 0, not even close to the slightest bit @DBrown918. My nitrates are 15 usually. But yeah 0 i mean 0 nitrites. I test every 2 days too. Just did a 25% again this morning, they (my white cloud minnows) yawn and go for air at the top of the water but I can’t get a airstone till Monday for very good unspoken reasons. Sadly…. I don’t know how to increase oxygen without pump and airstone…… Yeah I am subscribed, he’s a good YouTuber I love his channel! @Tony s. @AllFishNoBrakes, thanks for the info!!! @tetra, thx a lot! Daily water changes and testing every day is wha to am doing now…. I don’t lol!!!! But I saw something about it a couple of days ago tho but good video!! Yeah I panic, it’s not good to do that in this hobby, but hey I mean I have been doin this for 2 years, and I think I know a lot. But not EVEN close, I learn multiple things daily on this forum! I am so glad I joined, just wondering where I would be without it 😉

@macdaddy36, I am going to get one, (a airstone) and had a Q. Do I need a sponge filter? I am not against it but just wondering. This article is what I am looking at on AC, I probably will but everything that I need for one obviously, air pump, tubing, check valve, the actua airstone and a sponge filter. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/air-stones-the-secret-weapon-every-aquarium-needs -

They stopped yawning but get air from the top of the water often, but no other common signs of ammonia poisoning, I will get an airstone soon and just keep a eye one em @macdaddy36. -
Ok, let me first say, I am super glad someone else chime in here with some fresh ideas!!! @Tony s and me are in the dark and just trying to figure out the issue. I thought I did cycle the tank @Tony s right? Like it had no ammonia after the cycle for a month. Maybe I am wrong or just tired 🥱 lol. @cotasm, thanks a million, I don’t use the dr Tim’s bacteria every change actually and have not at all recently. Maybe it expired when in the middle of use? Idk Yeah, I am starting to pull my hair out and just mad and confused why this is happening. Yup. I will tomorrow morning and report. Last time I checked they were 15 ppm. And I do shake vigorously for one minute and shake the bottle and everything, I have been trying to follow the book as perfectly as I can 😉
-
Remember this? The rotting roots were still there for all the way to today until i noticed them.......could this be the issue, rotting plants can = ammonia right? @Tony s and the gel glue was there too.
-
Just completed a 25% change, mainly to scrub algae and clean gravel, Thanks, yes you have been patient enough with me a guy who will sometimes panic 😅 Filter cartridge coming today from amazon, + dr tims one and only

When pH is low and the water is acidic, it heavily reduces the toxic form of NH3 ammonia, but with a pH higher than 7 and at certain water temperatures, the concentration of toxic NH3 ammonia is much higher. I just read this. My temp is 72 with ph sitting around 7.6. Could this be another thing? I am sorry for spamming posts but i just want to have a normal no ammonia tank like most of everyone else 😥
-
Could it have to do with the ph of the water? And temp as i read this, also my gh and kh are both 2, if that means anything at all https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=is+there+ammonia+in+city+water&hspart=iba&hsimp=yhs-syn_launcham¶m2=9dUI1n2R0BLDxNuWfiP4aSFOTltNdSPoIx38%2BUf%2FiXrvPdoGmStdlfwLFZYDvqkAJrWWk4yNReCLnBD%2FqPsDZd7olTZcV8HMx1G%2Fk786sE2Tis1g8dJd8zxVWs%2BbKztBnq1TfqUiqPYK9pXifXmJFyorDuCsYXJE71Y6G5tfejBOGQIkjMWL9ueYatTiC2seBRG7mLrXW8bxskI4s31K8kOvBetBHycGi3ZyaVwlEjUKPvxyjERSAiOqmUn%2FkMi2Iy%2Fv%2FBy3SaHMDPBujTOF9A1CxwSb6tFKPLzgY55T2C42gLx568IpR7jXQVDE6XrO¶m3=HpCyCT2cXaKG4CVDR00rqgObRQahimQNt2d5ZCR7Jy3IZoD3T11qaq2nywASZYgKzfyS10BttKbIeHkaaNI9P0ioRHftV47BlCRVuFr0mVctO7htUdYjC5dp%2Fy6lQtNXycZ%2Fl5k9kS0fHQGnJnFf4%2BU%2BYl2TSsGiOseOtnQhKiRVko3gcXLlbDwQyIBxjoAb8rXuJow298qLDb7ZCDTVGrSG1rxH8q8gmQMjB%2Fim2C9fMDHdbRdkDp7L%2BkQmc8lcLNPMk%2B5eTw1MFEKJMBnND6PCkO7jaoFECrjoZSnfAo9ml2uFBHlNnXPiuIIkRr1E&type=f2%3A%3B.6850610d4680680b2811f3dcdca6be379af%3B5.ac48522a20946644e52a8ef8e64166f19c0ca9cd289975659b0570f139cfd1da05e084af6b3ead9e74a4d#:~:text=Ammonia exists in either one of two forms. It can exist in a pure%2C un-ionized%2C uncharged form (NH3)%2C or it can exist as a positively charged ammonium hydroxide ion (NH4%2B) when it dissolves in water. The form ammonia takes in water is highly dependent on the temperature and pH of the water. It has to be my water, or i am testing wrong but i think that think that i am doing everything correctly. Last guess, its the jugs i use for water changes, empty distilled water jugs and a used (idk what for) 5 gallon bucket i found and cleaned from my basement. @Tony s
-
Nope, i have no clue where my water comes from before tap besides its city water. Why is all i am asking.................................................. Could it be my ammonia test jit? Should i get strips and test? The fish, are as healthy as they could be. Living it up in there lol. I have no clue....

One of my WCMMs is yawning every once in a while. Could this be a issue? low oxygen right? Do I need a airstone? -
It’s .25 and maybe the tiniest bit less possibly. Here is some pictures of the check this morning @Tony s, @macdaddy36, and everyone else.

Beautiful tanks! Good luck!!! @Beach Cruiser, i love some big tanks! I have the nicrew light as well actually, got it last night , it’s awesome for sunrise/sunset.
-
He was partially joking. I have bought ACs plants for months and no snails. If you have a quarantine tank tho you could quarantine the plants and try to eliminate the ramshorns if it will make you sleep at night, @cotasm.

What is your favorite or "go-to" plant, and why?
Whitecloud09 replied to clownbaby's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
Yes, my anubias is indestructible. Amazing, the most basic plant, throw some AC all in one ferts and there you go, not more issues. -
Should I put snails in my planted tank
Whitecloud09 replied to Vinniemabuna's topic in General Discussion
Interesting, I might look into that, I am currently having a ammonia spike in my tank. -
The white cloud minnows is the G.O.A.T fish, very cool tanks! Cory your right, my fav fish of all time. I like this video on how to breed them. Or just find a old thread on the forum. I know they are super duper easy to breed. I have them, the best fish 🙂

The light came!!! 🎇🎇🎇 Also I went to petsmart because I literally forgot it was there and drove past it and said, “oh yeah there is a petsmart there”. And got the topfin hood, it fits like a charm! The light is perfect I mean PERFECT. I have it on a 8hr cycle and in the morning I will set it to turn on at 9:00 am and turn off after 8hrs is over, I will show pictures in the morning, it’s off now. @Tony s, @macdaddy36 amazing light. Decent hood actually too. -
Oof, yeah thats dead @Gideyon. Sorry about that. Its not, i have lost 5 plants recently. That is just how it goes sometimes, @Mmiller2001 might have more questions on what ferts you are using and maybe tell you how this might have happened. Maybe idk.
