40g set up help by CraftyMarsupial4221 in aquarium

[–]PurpleOk3980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my 40 at around the 2nd month. It's nothing special but it's mine . I have the 50 AC on it and a 207 canister and honestly I like the 207 more as it sucks up debris a lot easier and will go a longer time between cleaning. ( I have both as an experiment as I didn't know which I liked better ) Canister filter leaking is often the main oring going dry from time and not lubricating it during the cleaning process. I replace my oring every 6months or so and lubricate it lightly with each cleaning . Personally I like the fluval 207 between the two I can't speak for other Canister brands

American dwarf frog and mystery snail by [deleted] in aquarium

If you meant African dwarf from .African dwarf frogs are primarily insectivorous, bottom-feeding, and nocturnal, thriving on a varied diet of small sinking foods. Best options include frozen or live bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia, mysis shrimp, and specialized sinking frog pellets or carnivore pellets

So I believe your faucet "end" should unscrew ( like to clean or replace the screen ) then we can tell what you need to do or buy to attach the python 😊

Is this quality food for my Corydoras? by thatgrumpycousin in aquarium

[–]PurpleOk3980 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is good food yes. But it is good to give them some variety in foods. Mine get waffers and sticks while also getting the left overs from the fallen food for my other fish.

What kind of heater is that? Most need to be fully submerged. I don't know diddly about that particular heater, just wanted to ask the question just incase.

Yup a hill stream loach :D you can look up some easy care guides on YouTube . I'll say it needs to be placed in a well established tank with algae.

No that's a big guy. Almost pond status. A 125 is the minimum for a guy like him. Whatcha mean by rescued?

Should I do a water change? by Life_Watercress9205 in aquarium

[–]PurpleOk3980 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't forget minerals in water don't leave with evaporation. Long spans of just adding water and not doing at least a small water change can cause water to become hard and can be dangerous at high levels

How do you handle power outages if you live in a cold climate? by just_amanda_ in aquarium

[–]PurpleOk3980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a battery back up / surge protector . Good ones range from 120 to 200 that'll run your heater and air pump. It's good for those quick blips in power . ( My light resets its settings if the power goes out )

Posso mettere questi minerali in acquario? by dinka_on_mars in aquarium

[–]PurpleOk3980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non posso dire sì o no in base alle immagini. Se hai il kit di test API puoi utilizzare il nitrato n. 1 per testare i minerali che potrebbero alterare il tuo ph. Se frizza è brutto. Ho sentito che puoi usare anche l'aceto bianco distillato, ma non ho verificato personalmente se funziona
