Could have Giant Mine or Con Mine there were 2 gold mines operating in Yellowknife (both closed now) Yup, the dump is a shopping mall!! The City is in the process of making it easier to SHOP at the dump. I am from Hay River, probably know your family.

Is the top filled with air bubbles or do the make their way to the opening in the middle. I Guess when you set it up, you have to make sure is it level?

is this it L129 http://www.petsolutions.com/Columbian-Zebr...+C40001827.aspx

Does you tap water read the same as the tank water.

Not sure about the API kits but for the nutrafin kits KH & GH you add drops till you see a color change (darker or lighter does not matter)

Otocinclus & common Plecos

Aequidens Rivulatus

:welcome:

Does it come with a heater?

I would guess red zebra (Metriaclima estherae)

Hagen makes a product called Nutrafin PH Stabilizer this will raise kh

Your son's enclosure? Got him locked up in a small room.

GH test Fill up the test tube with water to the white line. Add one drop at a time the color will change from pink to blue multiply the number of drops by 20 to determine general hardness. KH test Fill up the test tube with water to the white line. Add one drop at a time the color will change from blue to yellow multiply the number of drops by 10 to determine carbonate hardness (You can also multiply the results of both by 0.056 to get dGH or dKH)

Too Much Ammonia? "It IS possible to add too much ammonia to the tank (generally several times the amounts suggested in either recipe), as some individuals discovered by mistake (thanks Boozap). What happens in this case is that the ammonia will spike very far off the chart, then the nitrite will spike as well (also way off the chart), and it will continue to spike for a very long time. Why? There are a couple of possibilities. The first is that the filter media and surfaces in the tank or oxygen levels are simply insufficient to grow and maintain a bacterial colony massive enough to convert all of the ammonia and all of the nitrite to nitrates. Another likely possibility is that the ammonia levels are high enough to inhibit growth (through a biofeedback mechanism) of the bacteria rather than promoting it. The solution is quite simple, however. If you realize that you've added way too much ammonia, simply do a water change, or if necessary a series of water changes, to bring the ammonia and/or nitrite levels back into the readable range on your test kit. Then proceed as normal with daily additions of ammonia until the tank is cycled." source http://malawicichlids.com/mw01017.htm

Had an Electric Yellow with the same problem. http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showt...p;#entry2191513 Ended up putting him down beginning of June. The females may not eat while holding, if it has not been long enough between breeding they may get quite thin.

Went on a tour of Giant Mine in Yellowknife and saw this guy. The window Roger Warren crawled through to bomb the mine the Head Frame at the mine.

What are your water parameters (NO2,NO3,NH3). What type of fish are affected

That turned out fantastic! How long did it take you to clean up all the cut off Styrofoam. I have made a few of these and the little flakes of styrofoam covered every thing in my kitchen. P.S. The pictures will display in the order you add them to your post.

Up, have a bunch of burgers in the freezer. Very tasty.

Thank you found it its a Water Arum (Wild Calla Palustris) THX

My mother has these lily's in her pond and wants to know what they are. Water is very green hard to get rid of algae with 24 hrs of sunlight, also no fish in the pond they all get eaten by the ravens! Bought a UV filter for her birthday will install it at the end of the month to see if it helps control the algae?
