I got myself a Fluval 406 for my 72 gallon tank to replace my old filter Right now its running along side my current cascade filter(the old filter). How long do I need to run the new filter before its established?

I have a 26 bowfront tank with a fluval 105. I'm a little over stocked(18 inches of fish. 4" of which is keyholes) so I do weekly water changes all that jazz. So testing my water a week ago I found high nitrate levels and low ph 6.3 or so. Did a big water change that day and the next day, no...

Just want to say it. My angels laid eggs before and I could never get teh babies to go free swimming. This last time I left them with the parents and they got the hatch to go. I siphoned out the babies after 2 days into a 2 gallon tank. After 3 more they got to free swimming a little bit...

so tommorow I'm going to go look at a used aquapod. The price it good and I've seen the tanks in the LFS before and they look snazzy. Anyone have bad experiences with the aquapod or know of glitches I need to look out for?
