Re: is liquid carbon safe for fish?

Another thing to consider is your plant load. If you've got a ton of fast-growing plants, they'll use up the carbon faster, so the fish might not even notice it.

Re: is liquid carbon safe for fish?

My tank's got a mix of guppies and neons, and I've been dosing liquid carbon daily for months. No problems so far, but I keep an eye on them. Maybe check your water params just in case?

Re: setting up a 15-gallon reef tank for beginners

I'm no expert on saltwater tanks, but I've done some reading up and clownfish seem to need a decent amount of space - 20 gallons is the general consensus.

I use a gravel vacuum to clean the gravel while taking out water since I don't have a pump and it'd take out way too much water if I did. The issue ...

Re: Betta fin rot: causes and treatment

I've taken a closer look at the photos you've attached, and while it's a bit tough to see, I think it's possible that Harry might be dealing with fin rot. I'd recommend giving aquarium salts a shot to see if that helps clear things up.

Since you mentioned Harry is the only fish in the tank, I'm ...
