When you have a new pair that is showing signs of pairing up how soon do you give them their own tank?
@shelleraquatics24 күн бұрын
No set time, but if I see they are bowing, shaking, cleaning a site that usually means they are bonded but I have also had 2 females pair up so each situation is very different. Sometimes I let them spawn to see what happens then move them. It really depends on what I'm seeing and though to give an exact time frame.

Thank you for all your hard work. My fish love you products Thank you!

Hey Branden, Thank you for your kind words, I have had pairs take up to 10 try's before they figure things out, Sometimes I get lucky and get that perfect pair. Can you tell me a little more about the situation? Discus Type, tank size, Temp, etc. The more the better and maybe I can help out. Thank you for everything you have done to help me grow my little business!

Have you ever tried a central system with a sump?
@shelleraquatics28 күн бұрын
I have and did not like the lack of control per tank and if something goes wrong it's usually very expensive to correct. It's hard to use the cya method in a central system. I prefer the slow and steady method, each tank is its own system. Just a personal preference.
@shelleraquatics28 күн бұрын
I also don't use the auto water change system anymore, it made me "Lazy" and cost me over 10,000 in the mentality that's "its handled" I left the hobby because of both these systems and decided if I'm not going to spend at least 2-3 hours a day in my room I won't get back into the hobby. This have made my room extremely productive and profitable and I'm enjoying every day ☺

Hey Steve, Matt from West Australia here. I've sourced some fulvic acid and dosed my 75 gallon tank. With regards to water changes, I perform two 50% water changes each week. Do I re-dose for just replaced water or re-dose for the whole tank?

I have found that feeding 1 time a week is plenty. I use it in my food for recovery after illness to boost the immune system. But I would not feed it every day. It is more of absorbent than an internal dosage. If you are feeding it as a supplement think micro dose.
