only add as much salt as you siphon out on your weekly water change,i have seen it done too many times where some one does a 20 gallon water change on their 55 gallon aquarium then add 5 scoops of salt after their water change........they should only be adding 1.5-2 scoops at that point. also you only need salt in your aquarium when a fish is sick or hurt.. hope i helped

i cant get any good photos at the moment. but i got 3female 2 male l200 highfin plecos from harold,really nice,and the males are huge

welcome to aa

go to chuck testa hes the best lol....sorry off topic even more.....hes a famous taxidermist in the states.

i have spixis breeding in multiple tanks,thaey are also all in tanks with breeding groups of differnt colored apple snails. no risk of the spixies eating apple eggs....... the only problem you will have with having a tank with spixies and apple snails is the need for larger weekly water changes. the reason for that is,once both types of snails start breeding they wont stop....you will eventually have hundreds of baby snails producing alot of poop and eating alot of food. also i was talking to a couple people at the auction, spixies are only plant safe if you supplement their diet with fruits and veggies occasonally(once a week minumum is what i do)....personally i have never had a problem with them eating plants......but i have always fed fruit and veggies often

yup your right way more than 2000 pounds in my little room.....i was just trying to give an example of the weight i have

as it stands right now until my construction is done. i have 18 tanks in one room......and 2 in another. in the room with 18 tanks there is 413 gallons or tank running.....no support underneath.... no problems.....i inspect my joists everyday or every second day because i am doing drop ceiling in the basement underneath the room at the moment. honestly i was going to support my floor but 2 of my friends(contractors) as-well as a third hired contractor said there was no need for the couple months i was going to have it setup........if it is a permanent setup with two thousand pounds(like my room). then yes i would look into a permanent bracing solution. i like ckmullin's first idea but i dont think you have to worry about a 80 gallon on one joist next to a foundation wall...but thats just my opinion ,people have called me lazy in the past,so dont hesitate lol

sorry ahead of time...4 photos i used this stuff (photo below),works on rock/rock or wood/rock(its aquarium safe) this was one of my projects it says to wait 72 hours before putting it in water...i waited 5-6 days just to be safe

do you make any home made food for your fish/shrimp/or snails? if you do i have a bunch of green calcium montmorillonite clay,it helps fish with parasites. i bought 2LB's i could weigh some out and give you a little bit at the sunday auction edit-looking at my meds i bought a bunch of SeaChem neoplex,kanaplex,ploygard and methylene blue,metronidazole powder,and praziquantel powder from kens fish if you need to buy any

are you sure there is no red worms in the poop? alot of those symptoms are for callamnus worms. but it could be something i just have never encountered as well...... good luck edit- judging from the picture its not callamnus worms.....when my one tank had it their anus's were not that red. maybe feed it some pees....if it is constipated that would help

:thumbs:

stunning color

welcome to the forum,lots of freindly helpful people on here.

i have never experienced this but i use playground sand in my cory tank maybe change out the substrate,it seems like alot of work but it may help the problem. but im no pro when it comes to corys so maybey wait for syno321 to jump in or someone else.

lol..... :rofl: i was going to say look for him in the back of the auction,probably wearing a leather coat....and i was going to mention you car is pretty recognizable. harold im ready for those l200 highfins, if you could bring them to the auction i would appreciate it alot.

i agree Alberta aquatica should be easily accessible to new hobbyists that dont know about it. but i wouldent want it to become one of those large mainstream forums with a ton of advertisements on each page(i wont mention any names,luckily none are Canadian :thumbs: ) and i find on those large worldwide fish forums everyone is very aggressive and needs to sound the smartest.... its is hard to find reliable people to trust when everyone is just name calling/arguing. im happy with albertaaquatica the way it is now,and i like the new changes they did. just my opinion though.

welcome to aa,looking forward to seeing you around the forum

i tryed to order 100 from the states but the business/person couldent ship to canada. if i knew a supplier in Thailand i would order some,untill then i guess we wait.

welcome to aa

if you cant find any Levamisole i can mail you some i have enough to do like 7500 gallons. if your in a big hurry i can do express shipping

hmm i dont know where in calgary they sell them. there is one lady in edmonton that sells them she could mail it to you. or what i am in the process of doing is ordering from ebay,if you want i can order you one extra from ebay and mail it to you.
