I wish there was a like button on this forum so I could just thumb up something.
Anyway-
Since I'm all riled up and crazy style about this experiment, and I was making an Amazon order anyway (not that it matters, I have Prime so can order whatever anytime),
I ordered another crappy Aqueon filter to match the one that came with my 10g hospital kit, and another heater, so that I can set up two identical buckets side by side with the same filter and same filter media and perform the experiment.
This of course will need to wait until after the current bucket is fully cycled as I need that media for the better filter I have on the way for the 10g
.... are you following all of this? lol...
