Hmmmm, adding more discus sometimes solves the problem, but I have found it can also make the problem even worse, I myself have found it becomes a bigger more expensive exercise, but thats' just been...

Putting air into your reactor will negate the Co2 effects completely, even more so than surface agitation. I think the main key in maintaining good oxygen levels in a Co2 injected tank is to have...

Well I may not have the ideal solution but I did look into that option with my fish room, there is no cheap way, and if you live in a cold area then expensive it is !
Overall I believe the best...

Mystery snails lay them out of the water also in a lumpy mass, but the eggs are all together. The seperate hite eggs i'm not sure about, but it is likely the Zebra snails.

That's just a standard "T" piece fort 13mm polytube with a 6mm outlet, may have trouble locating that bit, that one I have is from a Hydro shop. You dont need it really, you can just plug the Co2...

Ditto, I think Tiger Barbs are risky with most fish, and I certainly wouldn't risk it with expensive Discus

Link two together for better reactor action, but one may suffice....the Co2 goes in one end and both ends of filters attatch to return pipe of aquarium filter

Put back together again with the fine filter inside to break up the Co2 into the water

There are a lot of designs and everyone seems to have their preference, but here is an idea I have tried with success that is so simple.
It uses a simple pair of inline garden irrigation filters...

If you keep your Discus at the desirable temperature of 28oC or higher then whitespot can never be a problem as the whitespot parasite cannot survive at those temps.........could simply be small...

I too a long time ago used to add some salt at every water change with all kinds of fish as I was led to believe it was a good idea. Haven't done so now for ages unles for medication purposes, and I...

Almost right :) I used to be a cabinet maker but gave it away as I hated it as a trade, but as a hobby it's not so bad 8-)

I notice my discus do not like it at all, so I dont add it unless illness is a problem, and then only the 1 teaspoon for 40 litres. To be honest I'm not 100% convinced salt in such small...

Have been busy making new cabinets for three of my house tank, and finished at last. I've now got 3 tanks along one wall to give an effect of appearing like one long contoured tank { sort of...

Simple and effective, I like it 8-)

Same thing happens to me, but I let my Bristlenoses and Yoyo's take care of it 8-)

Well put Rick, and I'm glad you seem to be on top of it at this stage 8-) time will tell I guess.
And thanx for the doseage answer, wouldn't of known unless you told me 8-)

One thing to think of I reckon is this.................surface skimmers may clear off the green film on the water surface, but all you are doing is hiding the fact that something is not right with...

Yep, looking good for sure, they look even better in a couple of weeks when they start to take on the typical Angel shape, nice fish 8-)

Sounds promising 8-) good luck with the treatment, but someone else would need to answer if a second treatment is needed. But I have never used a PP treatment before, so just what is the doseage...

The Co2 is likely contributing to the outbreak, but to turn it off may very well alter Ph values ytoo quickly, maybe if you can turn down the Co2 output.

I'm sure it would be Ok, so long as the fish like to eat it, but a better idea is to give variety often rather than try to combine everything into one, besides fish do enjoy variety as well.

It sounds like a blue/green algae bloom, usually as a sign of too many nutrients in the water form fertiliser or excess food, tests are not always accurate, sometimes just visible signs are enough to...

Now before you scoff at me, bear in mind what I am about to say is not my own words but from a very interesting and well presented Aquarium instructional video being sold in some shops now. It's...
