Nice Job!

Welcome to AA

Welcome to AA!! Any thing that PetSmart sells is legal... :) What are you looking at getting?

Tree Huggers........

There is no reason to use carbon in your tank unless you are trying to remove meds. Carbon is usless after 7 days. You can use filter floss to polish your water and to remove small particles and its a lot cheaper.

Dumb Question here???? Why is copper so dangerous and what/why is it used?

What size of tank do you have? What kind of filter is on the tank? I would only vac half one side of the tank each week and would only clean the filter out in old tank water as needed you shouldnt need to do that more than once a month.

My Bala gets very upset also.

The last tank that I cycled it took 7 days. It was a fishless cycle I used bottled ammonia and used old media from one of my other tanks. It was great! I would do that again if I needed to cycle another tank.

Its the best 26.00 you will spend! I had to get the 50 foot one so it was about 38.00 from BigAls Online.

Its the best thing since sliced bread!!! I got mine a few weeks ago... ITS AWESOME!!!

RogerMcAllen how much was this pleco?

I agree to move the foam block to the bottom then your filter then your bio rings/carbon etc.. and last your floss to polish the water.

Why not run both of the filters for the same time for a few weeks? Then you could elimate your TopFin filter all together. When I first started I bought a TopFin 60. I had it for a couple of weeks then took it back and upgraded to a AC 110. I never could understand how the Topfin would hold the...

I bet the PH is high!! You should do a PWC ASAP!!!!

when I first set up my AC 70 I had the same issues. The air bubble went away. I just went and checked mine and its not longer flowing around the intake. Sometimes after I do a PWC and clean the AC it will do that also. You should be fine.

MTS here we come again.......

I was able to get a 55 gallon at PetSmart for 99.00. It was not worth the hassle to me to try and order a replacement top for the tank and then to have to worry about the seals. You should be able to order a replacement brace for the top of the tank. I would not risk trying to repair the...

AC-70

I just finished a couple of hours ago with my tank switch out. I did loose a few fish along the way. :( I was able to keep my filter media in the old water and my gravel stayed wet the entire time. So now I'm just looking for a mini cycle and hopes that is all that I will have. The only problem...

I have now drained my tank down about 50% and I will go and get a replacement tomorrow... Sounds like a fun filled day ahead..... Thanks for everyone's input.

I was doing a PWC awhile ago on my 55gal tank and the plastic "T" bar (not sure of the name) that is on the top of the tank in the middle is broke into. How dangerous is this? Do I need to go out and get another tank immediately? Thanks for your help!!

AC 110 You want regret it!

Welcome to AA!! Yes Bio-Spira can work if you get a good batch of it. It must be kept refrigerated until use and you must shake it very well before you use it. If you have access to a tank that is already established if you can get some old media from the filter it can also help you with a...

I keep my water level at the base of the filter (AC500 and AC70) and have had no ill effect. There seems to be enough water movement.
