-I have 6 neon tetras and 2 gold gouramis in a 37 gallon tank (minus gravel, plants, rocks- probably equals more like 32 gallons)

-I first noticed the ick late last night, and it is only in the beginning stages. It has infected all the tetra, but I'm not sure about the gouramis.

-The ammonia levels were previously high, so I cut out all feedings for the last 2 days, did a 25% water change and added Ammonia Clear tablets Thursday. I just brought it into a safe zone: .25

-I just completed a water change about 45 minutes ago; somewhere in between 25 and 33%.

-I bought "Ick Clear" tablets by Jungle. I also have aquarium salt and Stress Coat.

I bought a second hand fish tank. It doesn't leak, as I've tested it but it's a hexagonal one and the piece of glass that holds the lid up on the one side has broken off. I've now got a couple of pieces of glass which I want to glue on the keep the lid up. It will not be in contact with the water. Can anyone tell me if it will be safe to glue this glass on using super glue? Whether there would be any chemical seepage from the super glue that could contaminate the water? Or what other glue would be safe to use?

If you have a heater can you just plug it in and put it in your fish(fish tank heater)and it'll warm the tank?

i cleaned my aquarium last saturday(25% water change and gravel cleaning). I tested for ammonia and nitrite today. nitrite did not make a reading on my scale and ammonia was just off of 0mg/L. I already have a rust color residue on my glass and some decorations. What could it be and how do i get rid of it?
I use an algae prevention aid (Jungle no more algae).
my light is on 10.5 hours a day

We have 2 aquariums, a 26 gallon and a 10 gallon, that we have had for almost 3 months. Before we ever started stocking them with fish, we read the book recommended by the guy at the pet store (published by the Animal Planet network), which recommended a 50% water change weekly. Thus, that's what we've been doing. We test the water religiously and the levels of everything have remained in ideal ranges; our aquariums look great, the fish have terrific colors and generally seem very healthy and frisky. Yesterday, however, when the guy at the pet store found out we were doing this, he told us that we were not giving the biologicals time to set up, and that we should only change 10% out of each aquarium once a month. That seems like a LONG time to let fish waste build up at the bottom of the tank. Thus, my husband and I decided to bring it to Yahoo and see what everyone else has to say.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this!

The fish are showing signs of stress again but no bloating.
I love having fish but I feel like giving up.
My ex-husband does everything wrong and his fish survive.
