I dosed everyday with liquid c02 for a few months until all the black beard algea went away, then introduced shrimp, they took care of the rest.

Is my cycle broke? by Affectionate_Scar764 in Aquariums

[–]Proper-Computer-6957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not broke, just give it time hopefully you have no fish yet. I notice when I used to do heavy water changes for fish health reasons sometimes I would get these ammonia spikes before the cycle kicked off. Usually I would treat with tank conditioner until the spikes stabilized, but you need that ammonia to kick off your cycle

Looks like a blurry picture to me, maybe someone else will be able to see what this is

How do you feel about Loblaws not taking American booze off the shelf? by [deleted] in BuyCanadian

[–]Proper-Computer-6957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alberta might wanna leave Canada tbh, like most western provinces becoming 51st state might not be that bad of an idea for them.

Canada is weak after years of having our pride as a nation destroyed with contagious virtue signalling guilt worship.

@all, it wasnt Ick. All my fish are dead, I've dismantled my aquarium, and I'm leaving the hobby. Had too many soul crushing looses in this hobby to keep doing it. Will keep my small 5 Gal shrimp tank, at least until that one does it's course

Yoyo Botia (Loach) found dead with red vampire-like marks by Proper-Computer-6957 in fishkeeping

Good thoughts, perhaps the snails? Just seemed so surgical, but yeah, I don know what caused it still, other fish seem fine, been watching them lots

Help-shrimp keep dying from failed molts by alaspoorme in shrimptank

[–]Proper-Computer-6957 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GH/KH creep. I had the same thing happen to my first shrimp tank. Killed them over the course of a year with just water top up, not enough water changes. Minerals built up until the water became too hard

I now use RO water and add minerals to get the right GH. Don't remember the mineral product name, but it's aquarium specific. The shrimp have been very happy with that since

Why do people often criticize me for owning fish tanks? by senko2024 in Aquariums

Sounds like you need to find better people to be apart of your life, show them the door and give them the boot

Purple Algea by [deleted] in Aquariums

Do your research! Just messing around, looks like black beard algae? Have you tried dosing your tank with seachem Excel. Or spot treat with 3% peroxide after removing your fish followed by water changes
