Okay, update on fish. Nitrate on last test was between 10-20. Nitrite was still 0, ammonia 0.25. PH is actually down to 8.0, which has never happened. The gouramis both went through a spell where they rested together on the bottom of the tank, only coming up to eat and air. The Von Rios are...

So, run the filter without any cartridge? That sounds messy to me!

Ohhh, there must be some hard-core Cory experts here, I'm sure. When I was reading up on them a while back, there was an article that said their breeding was largely a mystery. It must be done, though, cause we buy the little buggers! Anyone have any articles or videos?

Thanks for responding. The new filter is a Penguin 200, which is probably more flow than the gouramis prefer, but I put a scotch-brite scoring pad around the drop trough with a rubber band to lessen the flow. I have a couple of tanks that I could use for quarantine, but they are not set up and...

Hello, I'm new to this site. I'm not new to fishkeeping, but haven't had a tank in more than 10 years, and my, hasn't it come a long way!? My favorite fish are angelfish, and I'm currently in the process of cycling a 30 gallon before introducing any. I'm on the fence right now about keeping it...
