Aquarium Advice Addict
So went to aqadvisor and put everything in and it says I'm 95% capacity but I'm 120% on filtration so could I do alittle more... Also says I only need to do 25%pwc a week
siva said:Change the filter every two to four weeks? I'm sorry, but that's the exact opposite of what you want to do. You don't want to ever change your filter media until it's falling apart, and then you certainly don't want to replace 100% of it at the same time or you'll likely have a mini cycle.
AqAdvisor is very unreliable. For stocking advice, please let us know:
1. What size tank?
2. What filtration?
3. Current stock?
4. What you would like to add?
GrimmGoby said:Yes you can, ASLONG as you keep up on water changes, feed them properly, and change filter every two to four weeks
Its a 55g with a aquaclear 70 and an aquaclear 150 and an air stone my stock
6 bleeding hearts
5 har. rasborias
4 peppered cory
4 male guppies
4 neons
3 mystery snails
2 flying foxes
1 dwarf gourami
1 farlowella cat
I want to add like 3 more peppered cory a make farlowella cat and 8rcs
siva said:I think adding atleast 2 more peppered cories is a good idea since they do best in groups of 6+. I would also add 2-3 more neons and atleast 1 more rasbora since they are schoolers that also do best with 6+. The RCS are definitely fine as well. I'm not sure on the farlowella..some of them get upwards of 9" so more than one might be pushing it IMO.
