I guys, I am looking for algae and nitrate control. I am already using 100ml of purigen. Is it good or safe to use both together. 30 gal tank with 5 live plants My plan was to use it in my chemical basket (fluval c4) along with purigen. My second option is to use phosphate remover...

Yes I did! The only thing I can see it's that prime is changing chloride to amoniacal so the tester is getting me false result because it can't make the difference between real Ammonia and amoniacal. Anyway that's what I reed from he seachem website Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Aquarium...

Well depending how many quantity of prime I am putting in my fresh water. Around 1.2mg/l. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Mebbid, I don't have city water. I have natural water from my land (how to say that in english... lol) I am using it more for heavy metal from my tap water. I don't have chlorine or chloramine. Anyway I shouldn't... Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yes testing look good. Only place I am getting amonia is in my fresh water bucket treated with Prime. In my tank good bacteria taking care of the amonia I am putting from my bucket. The only thing I can see is that I am using the same 5 gallon bucket for waste and fresh water. I am cleaning it...

No my tap water look clean. I am using nutrafin mini master kit. No amonia when I am using aqua plus instead of prime. I have purigen in my filter so I am afraid of using aqua plus regarding amine based. Do know what to do. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi bbrad. .. I am doing water change every week. Without any problems. My concern today it's is it normal to find ammonia in my bucket of fresh water when i am using prime? Thanks Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I did a 25% water change and after testing I noticed that the nitrate was higher the day after the change then the day before I did my water change. I did another water change today but, Before adding new water in my tank I did a test in my 5 gallon bucket and my nutrafin amonia test is reading...

I bought new plants. I DON'T know much about it...when I was inspecting for snails. I noticed that that kind of plant was smelling bad. Is it dead, should I remove it from my tanks? PS: I dipped the plant in water with diluted chlorine before ading in my tank.

On I will restart to feed him and try to lower the light. Not easy when the aquarium is close the T.V 1 tablet per two days should be enough? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Media... Are you talking about bio filter media like seachem max or fluval c node? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Look more like the motor that making noise. I read on the web that sometime it need to be brake in Lil. And they talking about puting Lil Vaseline on the propeler Axel. That filter have a huge flow. I am pretty impress about it. Need to reduce it when I feed the fishes hehehe. Outside the...

I will definitely try Purigen. To be honest I don't know if I need carbon filter because I don't have chlorine in my tap water so maybe purigen could be better for me. I don't know if my c4 need to be break in but right now it is kind of noisy. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Discolored fish. But I don't know if it was there before got the fish from a previous owner. He was hiding alit. Just noticed that today. 1~What type of fish is afflicted? Scavenger / pleco 2~What are your tank parameters ph 7, 0 amo, 0 nitrite, nitrate bellow 50ppm 3~ 32 gallon 4 weeks but got...

You are essentially adding new bacteria, in this case a completely different kind of bacteria, to compete with your existing bacteria. --------------- Make sense to me. So I can keep cycle for big water change new tank, or if my tank is not cycling? Thanks again! Sent from my Nexus 5 using...

It is also good to have on hand in case of urgent/emergency situations like too much ammonia, nitrite or nitrate. Are you talking about prime?

To be honest I am new and learning every day . for cycle I am following the instructions to keep a good bacterial colony. Maybe it's just a money game and I don't really need it exept for new aquarium to build it?

No it is cycling. I did use it when I do big water change... Cycle is only good for new or uncycled tank? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi guys, I am using nutrafin aquaplus and Cycle. After reading good reviews I decided to buy seachem prime (cheaper). My question: prime will replace aqua plus but should I continue to use nutrafin cycle with prime? PS: my water is not from a city. It is directly underground freshwater...

I just received my new C4. Should I run both for 2-3 weeks, until de bacteria get in my new bio filter? Right now I need to do a 25% water change every week to keep my nitrate below 50ppm. I also bought prime as a conditioner. Hope to get better result compare the aqua plus & cycle. Did you...

My new angel fish have discoloration since 2 days. It's started like 2 days ago. I just have that fish since 2 weeks, i don't see that on other fish in my tank....What can I do?

OK thanks again:) Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I did another test this morning and the nitrate look below 15./so it work. My fishes look Happy! Heheh I wondering if it could help to have a air pump to improve flow. For better oxygens and eliminate some nitrate? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I just remember that when I change my filter that the carbon filter was installed reversal. Blue carbon was on the side of the bio fiber. It was dirty too. Both of them actually I rinsed the bio with some used tank and I changed the carbon one. Will defenetly do another test tonight and...
