That what I hear from everyone, but I just wanted to make sure before I bought it. Thanks! Could anyone else add to this?

Which is better in your mind. I hear that the aqua clear is better, but same say bio wheels are better. I have a 55g tank with a Rena xp2 already on it, but I want to add on a HOB to make things better. I most likely don't need it, but I want it. So I want a low cost ( pads etc ), but the best...

My cichlids are only a inch, so ill try now.

I've been looking for some kind of glass like plant for my tank. I really like the micro sword alot, but I get mix reviewed on if the cichlid will eat it. Do the Malawi cichlids eat the Micro Sword? If anyone has any feed back please let through it out! Thanks!

I cleaned it off pretty well, but I want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Is there anything you can do to prevent it? Adding some kind of snails, Red Cherry Shrimp, clams, or pleco?

Ok, I just started to feed my fish Ken's cichlid and New Life Spectrum food. All my lace rock and sand are turning brown ( like a brown algae) . Is it the fish food? I'm going to clean my tank and take away one the food to find out what one is causing the problem. It only started when I started...

Please post some photo of your tank.

I'm just asking, at a few of my LFS which deal in mostly high-end custom stuff. I've gone to a few places and I get the same thing " you want the fish to poop on the bio balls ). Just though I would ask, since 3 different places have said the same thing. I know this sounds like a dumb question...

I do want to thank everyone for their help although

Yes, I agree, but I much rather have the things outside my tank painted. I don't know why, but it just worries me.

Ok, I always hear that you want fish to poop on the bio balls,so here my question then in most canister filters the bio balls are last. Is it a good idea to change this around? Should I put the Bio balls first, the pre filter pads ( Just to get the big stuff exp poop ), carbon etc, then the pads?
