My 20G tank at 78* Amon 0 Nitrite 0 and Nitrate 10-15 had four platies, a dwf gourami and a frog with no problems the last few months. I added six cardinal tetras from PETCO. After a few days, spots on all of them. Figured it was ick. Parameters still good. I have read about turning up temp...

Today I returned home to find my ADF's whole entire body stuck to the filter. I shut the filter off, and he swam away. I hope he is ok. My question is filter flow. Should I have the flow set to the highest or the lowest? What is the benefit or detriment to either? Thanks

Last night one of my MM platies were swimming sideways and it appeared it had no dorsal fin. Thought I would wake up to a dead fish. This morning the fin is back and the fish is swimming fine. Checked the water just to be sure. 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate. Any ideas why the fin was...

Hey guys, I just got rid of the carbon media in my AC 50. I was wondering what would be the better set up. I recently read somewhere that an extra sponge on the top would be the better set up. So right now I have a sponge on the bottim, bio max in the middle and a sponge on the top. Is...

OK, sorry for the 300th Post on Fish in Cycle but just wanted to see if I am on track here. Every since being duped into "just running the filter for 24 hours" I have been reading this forum nonstop for knowledge. Here's where I am at: Someone bought my 7 year old a 20 gallon all in one Top...

I recently bought a 20 gallon tank that came with a Top Fin filter with the carbon cart. I wanted to upgrade the filter, so I went and bought a Aqua Clear 50. I read posts on this site that says I should run both filters for a few weeks. After the couple of weeks are up, should I just go with...

Hi all, I tried searching for this but couldn't get an exact match. I am a newbie and have just set up a 20 gal Top Fin tank. I also have a top fin air pump hooked up to one of those decorations (Cabin with wheel and chimney) My problem is the noise is out of control. If I am in the...
