If you have high nitrites than you do not have enough beneficial bacteria for you tank's bio-load. Can you move some bio-media from you larger tank to the filter in your QT ? A bio-wheel, bio-balls, or some media from a canister.

The only cascade filters I sell go in a pond. They eighter create a fountain or a waterfall. A little loud for me at 3 o'clock in the morning.

I ahve had customers tell me that their danios have turn cannibal on them and killed the other fish in their tank. If you tank is overstock then that is your main problem. Also to you use any salt in your tank ? If not, then this will help, and keep your temp. under 78 degres.

I have a 75 I am going to change from fresh to salt here soon. I am running an Eheim 2026 for filtration. Should I move the spray bar to the other side of the tank pointing down with a Power Sweep 214 blowing back towards the intake pipe ? Would this supply enough current for oxygen ? I will...
