Hey guys, me again. I posted a thread awhile back with a few questions about my tank and now I have a few more. I have a 10gal that is currently in the second week of its fish less cycle. My numbers are looking good(in the sense that my cycle is progressing). This morning it was 2.0ppm ammonia, 5.0ppm nitrite, and 10-20 ppm nitrate.
My first question is what you guys think of Aquaclear's ammonia remover filter pack. I just bought an Aquaclear 20 that I'll be installing tonight and I'm curious if it would be good to buy the additional filter material too. The reason I ask is because my source water has a reading of 1.0ppm ammonia(and 5ppm Nitrate) and I'm wondering if taking the extra precaution of this filter pack would be worth it.
My second question is about stocking order. I've decided that I want to stock my tank with neon tetra, Pygmy Cory, and a male betta.
Is there any particular order I should get them in? I know that betta are best introduced to an established tank rather than introducing fish to his tank. I'm also having a bit of trouble locating Pygmy Cory for sale in my area. I know that I can order them online but I'm not sure how to go about it or which sites would be good.
