I have decided to rescape my tank. I have already moved my fish to another tank with proper parameters and filtration. My question is once I drain the tank is there a way to ensure my fluval cannister retains the built up beneficial bacteria since it's been running for 8 months with small...

I can say in my aquaclear 30 the basket has a pretty tight fit, when the sponge, matrix ( from a cycled tank so held onto their unused media), and polyfill for me are in it won't budge for me and is kinda tough to pull out. You can definitely just do media with a prefilter sponge. I did a...

Well I have 6 guppy fry in the small tank..relocated male to big tank and placed molly with the other two guppies that seem to be getting larger also so I believe I'll have more fry within the next month. Molly seems to be around the same size but pretty sure she's storing or going to give...

Tank is going strong and I was gifted a 10 Gallon awhile ago I also started.....I almost like it more lol. The kid choose blue gravel I wish I would have made an executive decision to go with something more natural and still not sure what to do for the top negative space.

Still going plants are coming in nice. Have some one Anubias nana petitefor the top of the rock (plastic) and flame moss to cover the top of the decor rock. May have a pregnant molly since one of the males looked and that's pretty much all it takes (jk saw some hanky panky going on). Just an...

As I await a response from a local selling a 20 long...I completely get it lol.

Caught my goldust and dalmatian during a private moment...and she's definitely getting bigger. Not sure if I should prepare myself or let nature take it's course in the tank. Any suggestions for pre intake filter on fluval 307?. Would enjoy some free mollies and curious what they would look...

Thank you for the words of experience I keep my tank at 75.5-76 according to my inkbird thermometer. I have surely slowed it down with my gravel vaccuming then. I'm still doing my best with the lightly feeding thing. I think I saw a chart once here with the ph to temp and ammonia levels...

Just curious and I know this is kind of a it's different for everyone situation but is there a timeframe where I should probably be seeing nitrates. I generally let it get to .5ppm Ammonia or a little more and do a water change roughly 24/26%. These are my parameters now excluding ph. I am also...

I've heard you can mix Cory's without any issue but I would be worried. I would ask the fish store if it's possible they can get more just in case. Aiken said it right they are pretty awesome and rare so I would definitely try for more.

Fritz makes my tank cloudy white like that for about an hour while the canister filter runs. Did you shake the bottle alot? I feel like mine looked similar when I didn't shake the bottle to much the first time. If you weren't running the filter I can see it looking like that. I rand my filter...

Soooo I planted with hopes to hide some equipment using a more natural look. All beginner plants some...I'm preparing for melt but I know it should come back.

Water change, spray bar setup! Getting some real plants soon!

Yep no cleaning....although I'm curious what it looks like in there. So getting into this hobby and being a technology person I started looking up all the 3D printed things I could make for the tank and had a question around heaters. My heater is fully submersible but ugly... Greyish silver...

Perfect and I keep my cannisters going as well just so I don't lose any BB that's building up in there right.
