Thanks for all of the input. I was hoping there were quicker natural ways to speed it up but like with most things patience is key.

Yeah ive been leaving the gravel alone since that's what caused this. When I do my changed I just get my vacuum close enough to the bottom to get what's on top of the gravel. I'm about to go to the LFS right now to get some filter media and floss. Since I changed the cartridge the tank is...

Mine is the Aqueon quiet flow 20. It takes a cartridge that sits with a removable holder thend has a bio scrubber on the output that is also removable. Not sure if I can use any type of media but I probably could if I made a custom cartridge for it to sit in the cartridge holder. Up to this...

Thanks I woke up this morning and did a 25% water change. It's clearing up some but not much. I dosed with prime again and have stopped my liquid fert dosing. The bacteria is starting to collect in my filter pretty bad. That was actually going to be my next question. It's collecting enough for...

So I have a 20 gallon planted tank. It was seriously overgrown with some dead plants and needed to be maintenenced in a bad way so yesterday I pulled about 90 percent of my plants out and removed some decor that I no longer wanted in the tank then replanted everything added root tabs under each...

I bought an Albino cory cat from my LFS a few days ago. Only one they had and when I spotted him I could only see his head. He's fairly young only about 1 1/2 inches long. After I got him in my tank I noticed about half of his tail fin missing. Mostly the clear portion of the fin. He seems to be...

As soon as I realized the fish were all gone at the pet store. I removed my bio filters and used a treat all just as a precaution. Sadly I have had to use a hospital tank. I received a sick betta from Walmart. It spent a week in the hospital tank and was treated. He's now doing excellent.

From the pet store to my house is about a 2 minute drive. The tank has now been upgraded to a 20H. I've also updated the filter to a 30 gallon power filter and I've now added twice as many plants. And I agree the parameters in the tank weren't the best, however I placed them in my more...

I have three fake plants, a small piece of driftwood a few stones that range from the size of a quarter to a little smaller than a 50 cent piece. Then your normal equipment, heater, thermometer, airstone, filter. The substrate is just you nor.al aquarium gravel.

Well it states on the bottle that up to 5 times the normal dose may be used. But i do see the connection between using that amount and me getting the smell from the tank. So for that tank ive just switched to API water conditioner for when I do my water changes. The local pet store also told me...

Okay just to give a bit of background. I have 2 10 gallon aquariums. One is a planted tank the other is not. The tank that stinks is my non planted tank. Its about 2 months old yesterday I noticed a really bad sulfur smell coming from the tank. In the tank i have a betta, a black skirt tetra, a...

Thank you. The two remaining tetras are doing much better. They are swimming around the tank together and eating. There seems to be no issues. Now I just feel bad because I know they are achooling fish and its just them in there. And you are right, the two that are left were the biggest neons in...

Yesterday I bought 10 Neon tetras from a local pet store. I brought them home and let them sit in the bag in the tank for about 45 minutes while i did some maintenance and readjusting to the planted tank they would be entering. Its a 10 gallon tank with moderate plants, gravel bottom, a 20...
