So, the Burmese was not received at the LFS. Searching around, I was able to inquire one place with Yo-Yo loaches at $6.99 and three places with Clown Loaches at $8.99 (I would probably need at least two to lower aggression towards my fish). I think I prefer to look into the Dwarf Puffers were I...
Yes, I have read the same about Yo-Yo loaches but not available at this time. Only Burmese so I am hesitant whether to get them, or not.

How is your tank doing? Something we forgot to mention is that you are "technically" doing a fish-in cycle. Another good to know term. :-)

Hello,
I got some plants from a friend thinking it had baby Apple Snails. Turns out, some of those babies never grew and the only snail that I can think of being is: Mini Ramshorn snails.
Unfortunately, I have spread said plants throughout 3 tanks. One of them got aggressively overrun by...
Although you may think that you have cleaned the tank throughly, there are snails that survive dry seasons. Meaning, you could still have snail eggs on the tank waiting to get hydrated.
I recommend that you run the tank with filter on 1 part Chlorine with 9 parts water. You can add more...
I think that a common time ratio is 1:2 as in whatever time it takes you to get Nitrites, then it takes double that time to convert them and or complete the cycle. You are more likely going to be done in about 3 weeks.

Correct. And if the factory cartridges are not lasting at least a few months, consider making the filter yourself by buying polyester pads or rolls. There are other materials but that is the only one that came to mind.

What about Guppies? I am thinking of getting a puffer due to a Miniature Ramshorn Snail problem and will need to find a way to keep him afterwards --yet I have not read before that they could be kept with something else. Thanks for any advice!

If you physically removed the filter cartridge and placed a new one, then you removed a highly substantial amount of beneficial bacteria. Please confirm that is what you did.
Prime does not remove Nitrites and Nitrates, it only makes the water easier for the fish to be in without dying from...
The slower the rate of water passing by the UV light, then it will be better. I asked for ideas on how to do this since the smallest commercial pimp I found for a DIY is rated at 80 GPH.

Right, hence why the need for a pump that doesn't pump too many gallons. Or at least that was my impression. Either way, I still have not received input here on an idea or ideas of how to do this.

I am not sure why you got upset. You just confirmed what I said: anything non-porous can be cleaned with bleach. TB on the other hand may survive regular bleach (from previous research I did), hence why I mentioned about the pure pool bleach. I also mentioned I would not save anything porous...
