silicon grease from a plumbing supply works well

Your county should have a recommended lab they use.

Not working still

While I don't have shrimp, I do not see an issue if it is fitted well so they cannot get behind the filter.

I use this type of filtration in most of my tanks. Very happy to report that maintenance is very minimal. Some are in use for 2 years now without cleaning required. When the water level is different on the "pump" side by say more than 2 inches I drop it on the sidewalk a dozen times and reinsert it.

YOU'R ALIVE!!!!! Nice to see a post from you

Thanks for the great pics. Those are some very big fish. Is it catch and release only or do you enjoy them for lunch?

Welcome

Another possibility in addition to above did you have seasoned filtration

Welcome

Very nice

That would be a good choice for a filter. They don't like a lot of current.

My wife's goldfish tank 60 gal with 5, - 3 inch orandas needs a 75% water change per week to keep the nitrates down below 40.... they do make a mess but love them just the same.

I have never added salt to my rainbow tanks including the boesmani. They like hard water....wich we have.

Since you dont have fish you could try a snail killer.

Very happy and smug pike thought

I bought my Safe a few years ago, and whenever I put some in a new pkg to have near my tanks (home or work, etc.) I write on the container w/ a sharpie the dosing instructions. I am currently using 1/4 tsp per 100gal, which will definitely take care of any Chloramine, as well as any ammonia (which is not there anyway....).

Exactly,...... 1/4 teaspoon = 1 gm at least on my NOT so accurate gram scale.

I am sure, that I am "overdosing " the smaller tanks as I do not measure but guess.

I have been using approximately 1 gram per 100 gallons for a year with no issues. Measured it once or twice to get an idea what it looked liked then estimate for tank size. Likely have used up to two times as much, at times. Fish are fine.

search the forum I just bought some from him but can't remember his name.
