    Overstocked? Who says?

    I think overstocking when it comes to people who have a clue about what they are doing isn't a problem. I think underequipped is a bigger problem in the world when it comes to fish. Goldfishes in bowls, ect.. Things like that, where the deathrate is incredibly high and people just assume that...

    Thanks for the responses. I am looking into getting another filter in the future to add to my existing setup. I will let my parents know about the pond advice for their future pond adventures. For me its just the aquarium. Now I checked out the penguin filters and I noticed the filters come...

    Api test kit help!

    Re-read the Nitrate test specifically and follow the directions exactly. There is a step in there I don't think you're doing. I don't remember it exactly off the top of my head but its like this: Shake bottles. Fill tube up. Drop bottle #1 however many times it says. Cork tube. Shake tube...
