According to Fluval, 50% is fine, they don't recommend any more than that. I leave mine at full flow though so no experience personally...

I run a fluval canister and its like this: 1. sponge screen 2. ceramic noodle things 3. fine poly pad 4. bag of carbon

bottom or side it won't matter, i wudnt bother with the guard, its in a sump nothing alive is gonna be touching it right? (i don't bother with a heater guard in my tanks anyways) my heaters are positioned in a what works, works. kinda way

the heaters suction cups should stick to the tub. sorry if I'm reading ur issue wrong

the 110l sounds about right to me, the 60 seems a big overstocked, and the 40 somewhere between. all my tanks i know are overstocked. (I'm english)

The quarantine is unfiltered the methylene would kill the nitrifying bacteria anyway, so I just have it with an airstone, I test for ph kh gh ammonia nitrite nitrate and phosphate, all are always near enough the same except for nitrate. My question of how to transfer was more about whether to...

Interesting to read, however in my case, the quarantine tank is filled from the main tanks old water, so really shouldn't be an issue for me. I will admit I have never really thought much about acclimating when moving between my tanks as they all test near enough the same

Today is 4th day and he does look better, I'll keep him qt till maybe Sunday

so i have a black molly that im convinced has fungus, so i put him in a hospital tankwith methylene blue as treatment, ive never used it before so im wondering, ive read that he should be in there for 3 to 5 days, is this right and how should i go about transferring him back to the main tank...

Whenever it looks dirty, once a week or 2 weeks would probably be fine

Personally I would just give it a quick squeeze in a bucket of old tank water now and then, that shouldn't harm the bacteria,

to me that looks like just a UV steriliser, though ive never used one myself

Been feeding every day some bloodworm in a morning and some spirulina flakes in the evening
