    Switching from HOB to Canister, anything special to know?

    Tank is about a month old, can't quite tell if cycle is complete but I've purchased a canister filter and inline heater that I'd like to set up soon. Do I run both filters until bio filter builds up in canister? I want to make sure I do not dissrupt cycle or have it start all over again.

    Dwarf Gourami with an attitude?

    I’ve got a 36 gallon tank stocked with the following… 2 Angelfish 3 Dwarf Gourami 4 Cory Catfish The big Dwarf Gourami seems to be chasing just the other DGs around- not particularly guarding any territory, just seems like he’s hyper. I feel bad because the big one seems to be a jerk...
