thanks Nerms! these are all great points! I have stuck my hand in so I know there is not a short.
I will check the heater. I have been having trouble with thermometers these days - some not working, etc.
any recs on good thermometers?
My black tetras line up in the back wall of the aquarium in this formation (see attached). Is this normal? I noticed this happening after I started to decorate the tank.
I. Have had good luck with using salt and increasing the concentration every other day to a max of 1 tbsp to 1 gallon.
I have read online of some fish having adverse effects when fungus clear used when open sores present.
kanaplex and salt have helped me in the past.
@Katherine is right - that has happened to me. I plug it into a smart outlet on a power strip next to the tank. That way i can lift the hose and quickly turn off the pump
I bought a bulb back in November. It seemed to be doing really well - many lily pad shoots over many months. In the last 1-2 months it has stopped sending out shoots. And it was been only sending out a few leaves close to the bulb.
i ended up getting rid of it. Ideas on what could have happened?
“I bought this one off amazon and use it for my 10 gallon tanks with a 1” diameter plastic tubing. It is small and does the job well.
