Thank you Hholy. That is a great site!

All of the gourami are 2.5"-3". So yes juvenile I would assume. I also just started a 150 gallon that I am waiting to cycle. Do you know of a website that provides a complete list of freshwater fish and suitable tank mates? Unfortunately there is a lot of conflicting information out there.

Duh red tail sharks..lol

Thanks Rivercats, turned down the volume on air stones and increased volume on bubblers and that seemed to have solved the problem.

In freshwater 2-3 times your tank capacity per hour saltwater 3-4 times your tank capacity per hour is recommended. So if you have a 40 gallon tank you want a minimum of 80 gph or max around 120 gph.

I have a forty gallon freshwater tank right now. All is good but I am looking for the most economical filtration system from an upkeep standpoint. It seems like all filters have specific cartridges, bags disintegrate after 3-4 weeks. Suggestions anyone?

Thank You very much. I do have 2 filter bubblers one is carbon the second is for ammonia. I also have two twelve inch air stones. I have two waterfall filters one is 30 gph the second is 20 gph on a 40 gallon tank. The problems started when I changed out the carbon only in the pumps to...
