Something bad happened to my guppy, please help!

Finally!

I'm sorry...we'll try to do better!

the purigen works better in a canister, but i still use it in my HOBs until i replace them.

good to hear the bubblers are working out. the fish do get more active with the oxy rich water. little more of a current too

[ptran]

I'm sure they love to play with bubble and extra oxygenated water.

Oh, that update. It has cleared up some since last night, but still a little cloudy. I just ordered some purigen too, so hopefully that will help. I'm going to monitor it over the weekend, but all the fish seem happy and have actually been swimming around a lot more since I installed the bubblers!

[ptran]

Is it clear up for you yet?

[JCrizz]

Update on what?

[ptran]

Update?

[morpheus]

usually takes a few days like ptran mentioned to clear up. sometimes new pieces of driftwood can also tinge the water color. using purigen in your filter is a great polisher for the water.

[ptran]

Don't you worry. It would clear up the next day. :emt_thumbs:

I'm sad no one is excited for my video! Lol

Anyways, it is now installed but I had to move a lot of gravel in the back so the suction cups would stick to the bottom of the tank. Now the water looks even cloudier than it did after my huge water change a few days ago. Could it be a matter of things needing to settle back down to the bottom of the tank or does it sound like a bigger issue? I'll do the water tests soon to make sure the levels are still good. I also added the 2 new pieces of driftwood, which are still a little floaty but have stayed put so far. Let me know what you guys think and don't be too harsh on this newbie!

I tried to get some video of one of my inspector Plecos, the camera sucks on my phone and wouldn't focus. If you guys are interested I can use my real video camera this weekend and upload better video.

Enjoy!

I recommend getting a pair and place them to create a counterclockwise or clockwise current. I'm pretty sure they will love the current.

Why can't I find someone to cater to my every whim? LOL

I was thinking that I would put it on the left side of the tank where Big Blue and the parrots live but if they don't like it there I'll put it on the other side. I don't know, Blue stays just below the surface of the water so he might not be happy with it there. Why can't I find someone to cater to my every whim? LOL

i added a 800 gph powerhead for my mbuna tank recently. was $9 on amazon and has been working like a champ. it has a suction cup, and it does not budge. you could also do a 500 gph on each side if you wanted.

the 800 provides a good amount of flow. one side of the tank is calm other gives them some exercise. i still use an airstone as well

Troy, what do you think of this one?

Here is the link I posted with another thread (when i was having all my mbuna chaos and a powerhead was suggested)

Odd the 530 gph is more expensive than the 800 and 1300 gph....but i didnt complain
