When u do that u must have where ur siphon to lower then the water level for gravity to so its thing. On my vac I put a pvc valve so I hold it over the tank and suck once water fills it I shut off valve and the place on bucket then open valve.

Just got back from a 4 day vacation and just feed as normal before I left and all was well when I returned. Better to leave then over feed when gone.

I like the idea of two filters over one so that if one were to fail you don't have to worry as much. Also its nice when cleaning the filter you can do alternating cleaning and worry about killing you bb.

Hi Tig I tie down anubias to drift wood all the time. Not really sure of other plants. U can use fishing line to tie down or sewing string .

I agree with ejar on that I first noticed ich on. A black skirted tetra looked like it was rolled in salt. A picture of what ur describing would be very helpful .

Best bet is to leave alone till ur cycle is completed then Make a cartridge or remove carbon from a pre made one its really ur preference.

You could add foam instead of there cartrige. Also I have a mainland bio wheel filter that has carbon in it just make a small cut to remove it then run it'll its falling apart .

Well I don't run any carbon unless I'm removing meds or a dye from my tanks. With weekly water changes so I don't get odors from the tanks. As for changing filter media dont do it unless its falling apart . Just rinse in old tank water when doing water change to clean.

That really only if u do a fish cycle. That really why fishless is so much better as ur building lots bb so u tank and filter can handle full load once ur cycle is compleate.

If u fishless cycle imo u can fully stock once cycle
