Something bad happened to my guppy, please help!

[Beth777]

How on earth did I miss this post?! I'm glad you're feeling better Crizz. I've had stones block bile ducts that caused acute pancreatitis and stones that caused the gallbladder to be removed. Stones are horrible!

How do you like the AQ? I still love mine.

I'm back, did you guys miss me? I had to have surgery to get a kidney stone removed... Yuck!

Anyways, I finally installed the ac110 today. I had to modify the tank lid in order to get this beast to fit! It's finally in and going, so we'll see how the water quality improves. So far it's nice, but if the water gets too low it's so loud!

Welcome back! Yep the 110 is a beast. I use it currently in my 90 gallon tank. You need to keep water level just 1-2" below the trim to keep the water sloshing noise down.

I'm sure you'll be okay w/o Purigen. I started using it recently and notices big improvement on the water clarity. So now I'm a fan.

I don't use purigen. My fish are fin with out it.

[ptran]

Yes, I do. Purigen helps keep the Nitrate level down, therefore you can go longer between water change. I have it on all my tank. Love it.

[Beth777]

Ok, thanks for checking. Do you still believe that you can go longer between water changes though? if I have to I can get my husband to do the maintenence, but it would be nice to know there's actually something that can help like that.

Sorry I might have lied to you there.
Correction: purigen removes organic matters that might decompose into toxic matter like ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate. It does not directly remove nitrate but eliminates the issue to begin with.

I don't know how the fish and I have survived without you guys all these years.

Absolutely! Purigen absorbs nitrate and main purpose of wc is to remove nitrate.

I didn't know that you could go longer between water changes. That would be great for when I'm sick.

Glad to hear that. Once you put Purigen, the water will be even clearer, and you can go longer between water change.

I like your humor.

I know what you mean though. I just got my AQ and I'm about ready to throw the biowheel on the other side of the tank out in the street, but that will mean that I have to get another AQ. grrrrrr Such an expensive hobby. lol

Admittedly, I do have a pretty messed up sense of humor...

I'm sure I'll be happy with the 110 too, I just didn't feel like shelling out $80 for another filter. *grumble**grumble*

I guess we'll see tomorrow once it gets here! I saw the recommendation and went with it, plus I'm sure I'll upgrade to a larger tank at some point.

Good thinking. :emt_thumbs:

[JCrizz]

I think you went to town with the AC 110. It's good to have at least 2 filters on any tank, so you can stage filter cleaning and still won't affect the fish or water quality.

AC 110 might be too much for a 36 gallon though. I was thinking more than an AC 70.
