    Stupid air pump question

    I use a y piece on my pump to join two outputs and yes it does increase the airflow! I've had mine running like this for sometime and it has no affect on the running!

    NitrAtes ???

    In reality it's not really that high! I know u guys have lower nitrates in ur tap water than us in the uk but ur fish will be ok, my tank is very rarely below 40ppm and can go as high as 80ppm! My fish are happy and healthy and don't have and probs with them!

    How often should I do a water change?

    I change 50% of my water every 2-3 weeks and my water is crystal clear gravel is clean, I never let my water sit for a few days just fill straight from my tap and add conditioner as I fill it up! Everyone does it different but end up with the same results!
