Aquarium Advice Regular
I have been trying to cycle my tank and I have run into a bad bacteria bloom. One advice website says that I should install an under gravel filter to clear the bacteria bloom and to keep the tank clear there after. I don't know if I agree with that. Other people have said just to wait it out. I went to my LFS and bought another powerfilter and filled it with lava rock and a sponge to work as an extra biological filter, not for filtration but just for housing bacteria. Does anyone think this is a good idea or think it will work? I just don't really want to tear down my tank just to install an Under gravel filter, maybe I should. Any ideas?
