When i started with the 20 gallon i was told if food fell to the bottom it meant i was overfeeding so that's just what i considered overfeeding and that was part of the reason my cycle was taking so long. I then tried to make sure very little got the bottom while feeding. Since i moved over to...

okay thank you. do u have any input about the white stuff growing on my decorations? I'm thinking the white cloudy stuff is just result of too much food/waste and its just growing on the decorations but i could be totally wrong. If you look at the picture of my volcano u can see exactly what im...

Hi All, Just looking to get some more input of my fish tank cycling as I'm not really seeing any improvements. I'll try to sum it up quickly as possible then ill leave the new tank details below. As previous stated on other posts I got into the fish keeping hobby about 7 weeks ago now. I...

On my 37 gallon i have two filters on there right now. The one that came with the tank kit and the Aqueon Quietflow 20. Inside of the Aqueon i have the ammonia reducer that comes with the filter and the established used filter sponge from the local fish store.

Okay thank you so much for your help through this process. I'm hoping the fish like there new tank and i will keep an eye on all of that stuff. I will update if anything happens.

The filter i have is the Aqueon Quietflow 20 which says it can only support up to 30 gallons. Can i still use it or is it possible to hang both on the tank until the tank is cycled? Also i do plan on keeping the 20 hex but wont be stocking anytime soon. I want to put my full focus on getting...

UPDATE 2/25/20 The rest of my fish are doing much better today. They are starting to eat again and swimming a alot better. (some more than other) I actually went out and bought a 37 gallon tank and setting it up the proper way. My local fish place by me was kind enough to give me one of...

Hi Flyfisher, Thank you for clearing my confusion on waters changes at the beginning. All i kept seeing when i looked up "proper" water changes and everyone was vacuuming gravel so i appreciate you taking the time to let me know i should do deep vacuuming.

Yesterday i spent the whole day noticing my fish not eating and looking stressed so I went to the forums and after a long night of research and help from many people, They told me that my 20 gallon fish tank was not cycled completely yet after almost 5 weeks and it was slightly overstocked so...

Update: When i woke up this morning the blue tetra had died and two cory cats. After a long night of research a lot of people told me that my tank still isn't cycled enough to handle that amount of fish. I was told to do a water change to lower the ammonia and add Tetrasafestart and hope that...

Hi, yes i currently use API Quick Start, Stress Coat +, Stress Zyme +, and Ammo Lock when i do my water changes. Okay I will not add anymore fish while there is still ammonia present. Does that mean my tank will eventually be at 0 ammonia in the tank because the nitrogen cycle has happened? I...

Tank Pic Sorry i’m brand new to this and getting used to posting

Tank Picture Here is the tank and the one blue tetra that’s been towards the top of the tank all day. I did a water change yesterday and afraid another will stress the already stressed out fish more.

Hi All, First i would like to thank anyone who takes the time to read and possibly help me out. I’m new to fish keeping and tomorrow marks 5 weeks I have had my tank and it seems every day, I find myself stressing out about if my fish are stressed. 5 weeks ago I was shopping fish tanks and saw...
