Tonight's numbers:
Ammonia: 0 (I keep waiting for it to be green again lol)
Nitrite: 0 (same with the purple )
Nitrate: 40 (jumped from 5 last night after a full pwc!)
PH: 7 (holding....so far)
I'm worried about the flow in my tank; I think it's rather excessive, but I'm not sure how to reduce it. On the AquaClear HOB I have it on the lowest flow setting, and I have a sponge around the intake and on the outtake flow, but it doesn't seem to help much. On the Fluval, I put it as low as I could without it being off. Here's a vid of the flow: any opinions and help on how to fix it would be great. Plus all the flow is causing very tiny bubbles which makes the tank look a bit cloudy. I'm not sure the fish, the CPDs in particular, will like too much flow either:

Other than that I'm excited....and nervous. Fish are coming on Thursday! I'm also highly considering ordering some Panda Corys and a couple of Nerite snails.
First, that looks like an AWESOME home for CPD's with all that cover.
It is some serious flow, but maybe all the DW and plants will provide areas where the current is less strong and the fish can get a rest. I don't know what type of areas CPD's come from and what the current is like in their habitat. I know Corys won't care one bit Have you thought about taking out the second filter? Just keep it in the closet as a backup? Will everything fit in the AQ?
I vote a strong yes on the Pandas, I guarantee you'll love them, and if the Pygmy Corys didn't do it for you, Pandas are the next best choice for your tank IMO ...but you should get the fish you want after all this work
Just make it a librarygirl whatever's going on thread lol
I was worried about all the flow in my tank and if you ever seen pics of my tank it's a lot but now my fish play in the currents so it's all good
Here is a pic you can see there is a serious current and the fish don't mind
Expecting lots of updates today.
All I have is...
