I have a 10G planted community tank containing Scissor Tail Rasbora, Harlequin Rasbora, Neon Tetra, Blue Tetra and Ghost Shrimp. I am currently feeding them tropical flake food twice daily and I will switch to New Life Spectrum small fish formula as soon as my current food runs out. I am also...

I'm switching out my HOB filter. I currently have a bio-wheel filter in a well cycled tank and I'm putting in an AC30. How long should I wait until I pull the bio-wheel HOB out? Also with the AC design the bio media is on top and the sponge in on the bottom. How often do you clean either...

I've searched the forums and read about phosphate reduction but I want to make sure I have it straight before I do anything major. My tank just had some major issues last week (See my thread Hazy, cloudy water issues in the "Freshwater & Brackish - General Discussion" section of the forum) and...
