How should I clean the filter media in my HOB Top Fin 20 Powerfilter? My water is a little cloudy and I think it's because my HOB isn't circulating water too well due to detritus buildup. I've only changed the media once by letting a spare sit in the filter to build bacteria. What's the best...

I have a 20g tall with a dwarf gourami, 4 cories, 1 clown pleco, and 9 neon tetra. I really like my dwarf gourami, but unfortunately he is very aggressive towards all of my other fish, who are all peaceful. I've had him for almost as long as I've had the tank and he made it through a hurricane...

I have a fairly new tank with some serious problems. At the peak of tank population two days ago, I had four guppies, two mollies, one gourami, and one mystery snail. I went through a whole nightmare (you can read what happened on the getting started section, the thread is titled "Ammonia...

Today is day 15 of having a 20 gallon tank. I set it up in accordance with common cycling knowledge and maintained it correctly. After a two days, I cycled it with the help of two guppies that are still alive and healthy now. When my water and filter was established, I added two mollies. At...
