  1. This often used for discus but I have used it on my tanks. You do have to prepare your water a day or two before and a little goes a long way. Don’t add it to the tank directly. Seachem makes and acid buffer but I prefer this method. You will need to lower the dose from the discus amounts but I love it.
  2. I like school sizes to be at least 6 but closer to 12 if the tank is large enough
  3. Babies all over. 6 of of 7 pairs have fry or eggs.
  4. Yes they do I had never seen it before and would have answered this question differently a few days ago when it happened. Since then another pair of angels laid eggs on a pice of driftwood. The next day I saw them moving the eggs to the slate .
  5. Every 2 weeks on the Amazon swords. They use lots of of root tabs so I try to keep on schedule. Also the plants where not a 100% when I put them in so a liitle extra is not go to hurt. In my other tanks that have big swords I do every 3 weeks.
  6. I will finish this because I started and feel that I owe it to those that have followed. Tuesday is root tab day.
  7. I baffled! I posted a few days ago and there where eggs. Next day gone. Now wriggler are there after a few days. After the egg were missing to took down the make-shift barrier, because I thought the eggs were eaten by the parents. I was surprised when I when to feed tonightNow this is a different a pair but in the same community tank that the Platnums came from. I moved those to a breeding tank and these are the only angels left in this tank. I’m not sure the fry will make it. This is the first clutch for this pair and they are not as interested or aggressive went getting close as the others. I with probably move these out much faster than with the double black or the other pairs. Here are the parameters in this Community tank. PH: 6.8 nitrate:0 nitrite:0 ammonia:10 KH:0 GH:0 This is how I keep track when they breed I test. These is not from the tank we are discussing here but it was the most convenient to take a photo. It the numbers are 0 I tend to leave the blank. That is for the double back tank which after removing the fry a few days ago they are preparing thank you lay again. to translate the parameters Ph:6 nitrate:0 nitrite:0 ammonia:10 KH:0 GH:300+
  8. Vaseline works on bio wheels but you you need the max flow. Once the filter starts to be any less efficient the wheels stop. Good grade lithium grease works to. Really not grease is ok as long as it says food safe
  9. I didn’t think so but I thought it might fit. I hope the other videos were more help. There are a lot of there.
  10. Can a moderator contact me.half the post is gone.
  11. If you are use co-op brine yes it’s fine. Just try not to get the Gregg’s in with the shrimp. If you are using other brands most need to be separated.
  12. I use wonder shell for two reasons that may not apply for you. I just don’t want everyone think I just keep raising the GH. One my fish breed like crazy after the wonder shell and I have very little Ca and most Mg. I would not use potassium carbonate. If you be very careful. The best option is to have fish that will deal with those conditions l. I have said I have simlair water I have discus, Angels, several pleco including “L333 and L134 and several others. I basically have an Amazon system. The more additives the more of a chance of swings. Say with what you have and don’t Chase numbers
  13. I like the Texas rig without the worth it’s great for kids because it’s basically weedless.
  14. I misunderstand I hide the post because it meant nothing I thought they were look to start merchandise
  15. I agree it will but why used chemicals when carbon will work. I have an extreme distrust in additives. I’m not did counting this and it will help clear it up faster. It’s maybe the answer first then go to carbon. I do trust you so if you are good with purism it can be part of the answer.
