I still have gray water in my fish tank?

Ok I have 2x, aqua clear filter 110, 6 or 7 plants, and probably 70 fish. Also I am using 2x driftwood, and colored gravel for about 3 inches high from the bottom of my fish tank. Water become gray after a week or two even though I am checking for Ph, Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite everything seems fine except my Ph and grey color. Also I have community fish aquarium and this would be second day that I did not gave them any food. They look so hungry, also I am using 2x neon bulbs for better plants growth and I have C02 system.. I know I have made mistake by putting fish right away but now is too late to returned I can try to keep them alive until cycling is done. I also rinsed out carbon cartridge, ammonia and biofilter very well, but water is still cloudy. Should I start changing 10-15% of water daily and when I change water should I put some stress coat into basket before putting in aquarium or not? I think I gave you all information and once more time thank you so much for help.I still have gray water in my fish tank?The only things that you didn't include were: what size your aquarium is, and which way is the pH off. Unless it's a very large aquarium 70 fish is seriously overstocked. At this point in the cycle I would think it is running low due to the ammonia that is building up. Yes you should do daily water changes and put stress coat into the water before adding it to the aquarium. The reason the cloudiness has not cleared is most likely because of way to much waste for your filtration system to handle because of the large number of fish. Some of the plants may also be dying and decaying causing even more ammonia to build up in the water. Watch the ammonia and nitrite levels closely. They should drop off to 0 and nitrates should start showing up by the time the aquarium has been up for at most 10 weeks. If you still have high ammonia by the 10th week, the bioload is too much and you need to get some of the fish out of the aquarium so the filtration you have can handle the waste being produced. As the cycle settles in the water should clear. In the meantime, do not stop feeding the fish, just give them small amounts and make sure they are consuming all of the food you put in within about 3 to 5 min.

yeh take out 15% of your water then fillit up with clean fresh water then put the water in and add some strees zyme because i had the same problem as you so i got strees zyme cleaned out 15% water and now the water is clear and i am having tons of platy fry...........

If you don't have enough light over the tank, the CO2 is not going to do any good.



You say your pH is off... Assuming since you are running CO2 you mean it's low. You can have CO2 injection and a high pH, it all depends on what you do with the KH.



Without more info, I would tentatively say its a bacterial bloom caused by overstocking an uncycled tank and possibly some decaying plant matter thrown in for good measure.



Stock reduction and frequent water changes would be the suggestion to cure it.
70 fish? How big is the tank? Even 70 tiny fish would need about 100 gallons.



**
If would have put my money on a bacterial bloom because this will produce milky coloured water but you have already just said that the water parameters are good so this is unlikely. Driftwood can leach colour into the water and this is perfectly safe and only lasts a few weeks just annoying. Also have you added anything else to the water like a rock or decoration... one of these could be leaching into the water.

Is there a trick to getting "dead" lights to work on one of those Target, Philips pre-lit trees?

I have one of the Philips pre-lit trees from Target and it looks like two strands of lights are out. I thought that the lights were supposed to be the kind that last %26quot;forever%26quot; and that if a bulb went out, only one bulb would go out. I've only had the tree one year so I'm assuming (hoping) it's because I need to replace some fuse or change the way in which I plugged the various strands in (they are color coded, sort of).



Any thoughts on where I can go to find help? Is this problem solvable, or am I just out of luck?



ThanksIs there a trick to getting %26quot;dead%26quot; lights to work on one of those Target, Philips pre-lit trees?Newest tool on the market is the Light Keeper Pro. many stores are carrying them now. They test and repair lights without removing the strings.

Ah! Possible parasites in my plant-only aquarium?

I've had a small 1.5 gallon tank circulating for about three weeks with nothing in it. I haven't paid much attention to changing the water, but I've done about 50% weekly water changes just to make sure it's healthy for whatever I decided to put in it. Well, in light of acquiring a 29-gallon tank earlier this week, and other various factors, I decided to sprout live plants from bulbs in the tank instead of placing fish there. The tank would act like a nursery for the plants as they grew until they are big enough not to be bothered by the fish in the 29 later on. A head start, you know, before I even start the 29-gallon. So, I drop in the bulbs, not thinking to look for anything - I mean, how could there be, right? Clean water, nothing in it...



And then I turn on the light a little while later, and as I'm examining the tank walls, something moving catches my eye. It's a tiny - and I mean *tiny* speck, squiggling around on the tank wall. It's not proportionally very long compared to its thickness, and it's moving in an irregular, smooth motion. It's definitely not a water flea, which are so named for their %26quot;hopping%26quot; motion through the water; I have no idea what it is. It's even smaller than a water flea, probably the size of one of the periods in this post, and white in color. I looked around the rest of the tank, and they are everywhere. Swimming in the water, on the other walls of the tank, swimming near the surface... what are they?! Please help. I think I may have to forget about using those plant bulbs now, because if the worm-things are parasites, they would be infected with them. I really need to know what they are!Ah! Possible parasites in my plant-only aquarium?Sounds like planaria or nematodes. Fairly harmless and generally present in all fish tanks anyway, just in very small numbers. They'll appear and multiply when there's a lot to feed on, in the way of organic things like those new plants.



They'll disappear after a couple of water changes. In fish tanks fish will occasionally eat them as well.



I've only had planaria in my fish tanks twice, once when an apple snail died and another when a fish died over a weekend when I was away. Excess organic waste matter = planaria/nematodes.
Ah! Possible parasites in my plant-only aquarium?
Chances are that the things swimming around aernt parasites but some organisms that came with the plants when u bought it.
Ah! Possible parasites in my plant-only aquarium?
Lots of small critters live in a fish tank, normally not noticed.



They wont be 'parasites' as such, there is nothing for them to be parasites on.



They are probably scavengers of some sort, they will feed on dead plant leaves, algae, smaller critters that you cant see.



If you feel bored one day get a drop of mulm off the bottom of the tank and put it under a microscope. You will be amazed at whats living in there. You just have something slightly larger, in a normal tank most of them would be eaten by fish.



They WILL have come in with plants, found a nice place to live and multiplied. Dont worry too much, the cure is probably worse than the problem.



Ian
I agree with catx, I also had them when one of my snails died. They are harmless, and can make good live food (I think) for small fry.



But yes, they are pretty annoying and will disappear after a while of water changes.

Okay, not evaporation? Then is THIS the controversy?

After reading many of the Creationists arguments here and elsewhere, I

decided to see how their logic and tactics work on other fields

besides evolution. The following is one result.



The average homeowner feels they can trust the professional

electrician who wired their house to know what he's doing. Most

electricians have had formal training or years of experience in their

field of expertise, and that's good because you trust them with the

safety of your home and the lives of your family.



But how much do they really know about electricity?



Some of the things they think they know are nothing more than

circular logic or assumptions based on assumptions! This has led to

some very wrong thinking and has to be corrected time and time again,

yet they claim to have all the right answers on matters electrical.



For example, ask an electrician how they know how much voltage is

in a circuit. You'll be told about the magic little box called a

voltmeter which can wondrously measure the invisible, odorless,

weightless electrons and give the voltage. How do they calibrate this

device to be so accurate? They run voltage through it and set it to

match! Of course, you can clearly see the voltage they run through it

would be known because it had been measured by a voltmeter, and on and

on in a prime example of circular logic.



The truth is they don't even care enough to change major mistakes

when they find them. When they first started their arcane art, they

guessed at which direction the electrons were moving and assigned the

familiar positive and negative signs according to that - but they got

it backwards! A century or two later, they decided they had it

backwards but did not bother to change it except when working on

things like designing computer chips. They'll tell you %26quot;it's good

enough%26quot; or %26quot;it doesn't matter%26quot; when it comes to your home, but since

when has completely backwards from reality been good enough on

something as deadly as electricity in your home? What if a gunsmith

told you backwards doesn't matter when shooting a gun?



Electronicists are often at a loss when confronted with evidence

that doesn't fit their beliefs. Light bulbs are not actually %26quot;light

bulbs%26quot; but dark absorbers. When you turn them on, they suck the dark

out of the room. You can prove this by holding your hand under a

%26quot;light bulb%26quot;. The dark will stack up under your hand where its path to

the absorber is blocked by your hand. When they quit working and turn

a dark color, it's not because they burnt out, it's because they're

full. I once explained this to an electrician and he was at a complete

loss for anything to say. I could tell by the way his shoulders were

convulsing as he walked away he was sobbing, and he avoided talking to

me about electricity from then on. I didn't bother to tell him that

electrons don't really exist (they have never been directly observed

by anyone), but that electricity works with magic smoke. If you touch

the wrong two wires together, the magic smoke leaks out and the

circuit stops working.



By now it should be clear to the objective reader that electricians

may think they know about electricity, but it's really nothing more

than the guesses they've been taught to believe as fact by the self

interests that controls the electrical industry. In any of the

%26quot;official%26quot; code books and research journals they refuse to publish

anything from outside their secular clique so they keep control of all

information on the subject, even going as far as convincing lawmakers

to force their beliefs on the public. More and more communities even

have laws requiring all electricians to be approved by the secular

code and forced to follow the Electronicism dogma in their work!

is there really such a thing as The Amish Institute for Scientific Research, and wtf do they do? next you麓re gonna tell us there is an amish space program or that they are attempting to undo the generations of genetic damage from their prolific inbreeding.
i get your point about electricity. we don't exactly know about electricity. i mean we know it travels through a conduit, we know it goes from point a to point be, and it also likes to go to ground in case of a short. but we don't know where it comes from, or what makes it do what it does. so it all rests on the faith that your electrician puts it together properly. nice analogy man.









hey man your email's locked up. you mind if i add you? my emails open.

Variables Question?

To test the hypothesis that plants grow faster in green light, a student set up 3 of the same type of plants. She placed the first plant under a green light, the second plant under a regular light bulb, and the third plant under a red light.



What is the independent variable in this experiment?



A) pot size

B) light color

C) plant type

D) amount of water





Is it plant type (C)? Because It never changes?Variables Question?B) light color is the independent variable.



The independent variable is always the one which is controlled and varied by the experimenter.

The dependent variable is the one measured - in this case the growth of the plants.



To insure a fair test, a good experiment has only one independent variable. As the scientist changes the independent variable, he or she observes what happens.



In your experiment A),B) %26amp;C) should all be kept constant to ensure a fair test.
Variables Question?
The independent variable is the variable is also known as the %26quot;manipulated%26quot; variable. It is the variable that is being manipulated or changed by the experimenter. In this case it would be B) light color.



A variable is something that tends to change or vary. The plant type never changes in this experiment so it is not a variable in this particular situation.

Turn off backlight on MS xp like a Mac?

I have a Thinkpad T60. I have downgraded it to MS xp and I was wondering if there is a way to shut off the back light of the screen like a Mac.



In a mac, the back light turns off to conserve the battery, but the screen is still visible under proper lighting. This is because the LCD is still active, it is simply the back light that has tuned off.



I have found a few programs that %26quot;imitate%26quot; the mac by changing the dimness, however, this does not turn off the bulb. Rather, it simply adjusts the indivdual pixels to a darker colour.



Is there any way for me to turn off the back light?



Thanks in advance.Turn off backlight on MS xp like a Mac?That has nothing to do with XP, but rather the hardware of your computer. Download the power management utility for your laptop from the manufacturer's site. If the backlight can be turned off, the utility will be better able to do that then XP's built-in power management.
