Ok just got the ceramic toilet paper rolls in the filter. I got the ones that said bio max. I packed it to the gills even cut a few in half with a knife to get extra in there!

Ok I'm going to pet smart tomorrow and getting them. Our nearest pet smart is 100 miles from my home and my lfs doesn't have them. I am definitely getting some.

So would adding more plants and maybe a nylon to the tank with those ceramic things help?

Ok will do it right now! Thanks sooooo much I was really really dreading getting rid of my fish I'm sure I still might have to but I'm gonna try this first.

Ok so they go in the little basket that the carbon is supposed to go it? And you run that along with the size e cartridge? Would pet smart have this ceramic stuff?

Ok what are those and where so I get them?

I have a Marineland emperor 280 filter it has a slot for a basket that holds carbon but I do t have it in there somewhere I need to put it in there? The gromies are 2 blue and 2 honey or gold and 1 pearl. And the pleco is just the regular one I guess. he's black the kind that are common.

I'll try 50 pwc for a while and see how It works out. Glad to know I'm not the only one that goes through this

Hello from way far away! Lol ill try it just doing half a day that would help a lot. Thanks for all your help!

The town is live in in Texas is we pay one rate for 3000 gallons any we use over we pay extra and using 120 a day on just 1 aquarium not to mention what my husband and I use for dishes laundry and baths yeah it went way up!

It's a 50 gallon but dumping it twice gets the nitrites down to almost 0.the extra 20 is to run the water changer. I don't mind putting in the work just can't afford it. So you think I shouldn't be doing 2 75 % pwc a day?

My water bill went up 60 buck this month because of all the water changes I am going to have to cut back I can't afford it 120 gallons a day is ridiculous

My golden severum is fully grown 3 or 4 inches he's a big boy. My parrots are between small and medium. The chocolate cichlid is nedium sized and everyone else are small. It just sucks I appreciate all the help just frustrating I've had this tank up before and not had this many problems. Of...

I am going to cry!!! Woke up and tested Ammonia. 25 Nitrite 5.0 Nitrate 0 I just did a water change not even 15 hours ago. I know I've got to many fish so I could move some I've got a 30 gallon that I was trying to fishless cycle and it's not doing anything I put ammonia in on Thanksgivings...

Thank you so much for the help ill check it in the morning again and see where I am and keep everyone posted. I really hope it drops again. I vacuumed the bottom some today while I was doing the water change so that might be it??
