:swear: I wish they would write that on the bottle no wear on the bottle does it say it will kill snails. Its says safe for all plants and aquaria life. :swear:

i once almost lost my arowana when i overdose a chemical to make my tank water crystal clear. saved him by doing water changes.

these chemicals are never safe to waterlife if overdosed.

Place the Acdivated Carbon into the tank?? Rinse it and Put it into the tank??


yes. best placed where there is running or moving water in your tank. for eg....near the outlet of your filter (where the water flows out)

we in singapore use it to remove chemicals or medication that's present in the tank.
 
Filtration?

Lights?

Maintenance?

That's an affully crowded aquarium. May be part of the problem. Are you getting suspended algae where the water turns green or is it surface film algae?

gosh.........well here's a question how do I get me tank crystal clear with out using Chemicals??

usually your tank water would be crystal clear if your tank is fully cycled. plus you should be having proper fileration method.

suspended green alge prob a result of over exposure to lighting. to solve this problem either you reduce the period of lighting or get yourself a UV.
 
You do not have to worry about having to make your water clear anymore because when i came home the aquarium had fallen over and water was everywhere and the indian people downstairs were getting pretty mad at all of the water that was coming down throug the ceiling. I swear it was not me and I am going to be leaving town for a few weeks untill all of this calms down. Good luck with your mess.
 
FOr Filtration I have a Magnum 350 Canister and a Magnum 250 hang on the tank. Is that enough for a 75?? I have three lights tat I only turn on at night when I'm home. The tank is well lit during the day my a windo the sit 10 feet to the left of it. I know it sounds like a lot of lighting but I have the tank completely dark for atleast 9 hours during the night. I gravel vac the tank every two weeks.....my eels are messy.....and change the filter and carbon every month.............................anything wrong with my set-up and methods.
