Problem #1 are the cylinder shaped rocks necessary? Because I'm out. I can pick some up tomorrow if they are.
Problem #2 My aquarium is pretty heavily populated (in my opinion) & the ammonia levels were high so in place of the cylinder shaped rocks I put in ammonia control rocks (excuse my crude terminology.)
Problem #3 if I do NEED to put the cylinder rocks in, there's no more room inside the filter since I have the sponge, ammonia rocks, & carbon.
Problem #4 final problem. Water is leaking from the bottom of the filter. Quite badly, something like 2-5 gallons per day. Would it be safe to seal it with acrylic clear coat? Or should I look at buying a new one? How long it safe to have the fish in my 39 gallon with no filter? They have lots of bubbles.
Stats: 39 gallon. All chemical levels except ammonia are under control. Because of the leak they are getting new water every day or two. Large bubble wand across back, large air stone in the middle, 2 small fake plants, 2 small fake reefs, one large half coliseum (air stone), gravel needs to be cleaned (doing this tomorrow) water color is cloudy after inserting new ammonia rocks but is clearing up.
Filter: Flumal 50. New sponge, new anti ammonia rocks, new carbon.
Functioning properly except the leak.
Fish: yellow molly, black molly, red wag platy, rainbow barb, 4 neon tetras, 5 assorted glofish danios, large pleco, peppered cory cat.
