They can also be very skittish and bang themselves into the glass if scared.

Yah I had those once upon a time. If people tap on the glass or make sudden movements they would hit the glass so hard that they would float to the top as if they were dead, probably knocked out. Poor little guys.

Nice tank! :thumbs:

Can I ask were you got it from? Since I'm sure you didn't get it in Wainwright.

I'm with Jason, I use the EI (Estimative Index) also and it works better then I could have hoped.

I wouldn't worry about a PH crash with a DIY CO2 system with the water hardness in Edmonton.

As long as your fish aren't gasping for Oxygen, should be fine.

I run Pressurized CO2 in a 33gal, I inject to just before the fish get stressed from it.

Just my 2cents though.

:thumbs: Thanks a bunch webmoose.

I always like to hear how others are doing it, since I will be soon trying it.

Just looking for the easiest way.

Would you mind sharing your way of hatching and feeding your bbs?

I have the whole store bought hatchery.

Thanks for the info. And your fish also say Thanks.

Thanks for the replys. I think I'll just keep an "eye" on him just incase.

But I do agree with all yah.

We've had 6 Lemon tetras for 3.5 years now with no problems.

But in the past week or so one of them has developed a white spot over his/her eye.

The eye doesn't protrude, it is not stringy, fluffy, or anything like that.

He/she acts very normal, eats, swims with the rest, all that normal fish stuff.

Could this be like an old age thing? Like a cataract? :eh:

Could be faulty test kit. I never trust those test kits things. :bang1:

Good to know there are some locals here! :beer:

Yes I checked out the fish also at the new Wal-Mart here in Wainwright.

Not a very big selection, but its new, and the tanks are clean... So far anyway.

I agree with Vapor, they are the first fish, so no need in quarantine them.

I am looking for some small measuring spoons. I would like them to be down to 1/32 teaspoon.

Seems everyone in the states can find them no problem at Wal-Mart, but I have no luck.

I can only find ones down to 1/4 teaspoon.

Anyone know where I can get some?

Thanks In advance!

Riel

Well these cheap things are costing me a fortune in shipping fees. :cry:

So far from Best labs since they sent everything to me in single LARGE boxes, even for the smallest of things, has cost me over a hundred dollars in duties and taxes. :cuss:

I payed $25 for a $2.77 thing.

I keep receiving invoices from Fed-EX... Never again will I buy anything from the states ever!

GOOOOOO :ml:

I am in 100% agreement with RD.!

It has barb attachments like the kind you use with air tubing but bigger.

Also it has threaded attachments.

Anyone?

I'm trying to figure out if I can run my Rio Hyperflow 14HF pump externaly. It says never run out of water, but yet is packed with what seems like hook-ups that you cna make it external.

Does anyone have one like this? Or know if I can or not?

Thanks

Your CO2 levels should be raised, with your PH and KH it brings your CO2 to only 9ppm, which is very low.

I'd raise your CO2 to 20 - 30 ppm, I would also try The Estimative Index for your dosing.

Hope this helps abit.

I have read that silicone tubing looses about %30 of co2 through the tubing wall, and I just don't want that much loss.

There is tubing some tubing that has a loss of just about nothing which I am trying to find, I guess I could just order it online.

Anyone else out there know of any in edmonton?

P.S. Thanks for the prompt replys already Tanker, and BlkWolfe. :thumbs:

Was wondering were in Edmonton can you buy real CO2 tubing.

I asked at Big Al's and the two girls I talked to, didnt really know what I was talking about, or anything about having any.

Also where does everyone get there plumbing suppies? Can you use that black PVC pipe? Do you know where to get the white PVC?

Thanks in advance.

Also I bought a digital pocket scale from there +- .1 grams $37.50 US

Too bad you are not in Calgary, so we can't do "rent a scale" thing ... :hey:

To bad hey! I could make some coin with that scale! lol

Also I forgot to mention, all you small town folks like me. The Recharge Centre will ship it Greyhound, he said it will be about $20 or less.

Well today I finally gave in and bought some cool new things for my aquarium.

A new Pressurized CO2 setup:

"The Recharge Centre" Used Co2 Cylinder $75

Thanks for the Info Milan. You're such a major asset to this site! :bow:

I'm buying a Pressurized CO2 setup this Christmas, but have no idea where to buy one?

I'm looking for something with a maximum height of 25" as big a bottle as I can get... Also are there any stores in Edmonton that sell all in one regulators? Like Solenoid, bubble counter, and needle valve?

Thanks

Well I think that I should be fine in the Potassium area, I might dose like 5ppm maybe with my macros... just to get rid of what I have bought already awhile ago when I knew less then I do now.

Thanks again Milan
