Bump. Thanks for the replies. I have not cleaned this in 10 months, everything still lives except my gouramies :( All my fault I think. Do I change any media like charcol or any of that? When you say you rince in tank water, do you mean, after you take it from the tank during water change...

Can anyone assist with questions about the Fluval 304: What parts of the filter should be cared for and how often? Also, what should not be messed with. I have the manual but it does not make it easy to determine what should be replaced and what is even in my filter. It has been...

I have a 26gal. bow front tank with a pea gravel substrate and some good flat rocks. I also had some plants. However I saw a planted tank at a lfs (fins and feathers in Broadlands (Ashburn, VA) and LOVED it. I have 2 10 gal tanks that are empty. I thought, if I clean them out, move over as much...

Well, I think the water change, and the medicine killed my fish. He was fine for a long time until I started screwing around with his environment. He isnt dead but he is swimming upside down. I am am sure, he isnt trying out for the fish circus.

Nitrate 40+ Nitrite 0 PH 6 Ammonia 0-.25 I just did a 40% water change AFTER I did my tests. I took my two gouramis out in a container using the same water they were in while doing the water change. I put them back in after. To create less disruption for them. I also picked...

Kind of like Hyrules and his sick red one ( http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=73308 ) mine is also sick. I need to setup a place for him to quarentine and get better but I don't have a second tank setup. Not sure I can set one up without having to cyle it. Here is the info: I have...

?? I was not worried about the cray at all. I was worried about the fish. Unless you meant the fish were in no danger because the cray was small. Does not matter either way, hes dead now.

UHG. I did not know there was a filter. I actually was filtering my own text :) My bad!

I came home to find what looked like a BIG ass roach (2" by 1" round) in my Fluval bin (a clear bin my filter resides in for safty sake). I looked in there and was like UHG! WHAT IS THAT?! Then looked again and was like WHAT?! OMG *beep*! Looked at my tank like I was going to see another one...

Thanks anyway, but he is no longer in that tank. I found him on the floor today after work. Actually I found him in my clear bin that my Fluval sits in (for emergencies and leaks). He must have got out of the back cause the top was closed. I don't know how long he was in (out rather) but i...

Mine has finnaly found his own little borrow as well. He used to use the rock in the back corner as a cave, but I think it might have been too light during the day. Anyway, he has finnaly dug out under the back of the flat rocks and backed himself in. Very fun to check him out. I think he is one...

Thank you everyone for all the GREAT compliments. I am sad to say my tank is not that pretty anymore. My damn lawnmower (crayfish) took all the plants down excet for the tall grass looking plant in back. However I am glad to say he has shed his shell one time which was pretty scary at first (I...
