Aquarium Advice Addict
Whoever recommended the angelsplus.com seeded sponge filters, let me just say thanks! I ordered two, one of which I cut up and put in my aqualcear filter, the other I stuck in the tank. Then I lightly stocked my 29 gallon tank on day one with 4 cherry barbs, 2 otos, and 3 cory cats. I tested water parameters daily and had nitrates on day four with no trace of ammonia or nitrites. I've continued to slowly add fish every 2-3 days with no apparent issues. Now my 29 gallon is fully stocked with 2 Bolivian rams, 8 cherry barbs, 6 spotted cories, 4 otos, 1 bristlenose pleco, 1 Apple snail. I have not had any losses.
I just got my plants in last might from aquariumplants.com and my nitrate levels are down to 5ppm this morning and yesterday they were around 10-20 ppm. Ammonia and nitrite levels remain zero. This has been the best experience I've ever had starting a new tank. And the best part is the seeded sponge filters are only $8 each, shipping was a little pricey at about $10 but it was completely worth it for a well balanced tank and healthy fish. I just had to share and wanted to thank the person that suggested them to me.
