I would do 8 weeks between cleaning you will find it will help your cycle become and stain super strong.

I see you are using sun sun filter how did you pack you media it it.

Start with larger water changes 50% every other day to bring nitrates down and use prime every 24 hours to detoxify ammonia/nitrites/nitrates. You should be able to go longer between filter cleaning I run nothing but canisters and I don’t touch them for 3-4 months between cleanings and all I do...

HI I’m sorry I can’t help much about HOB filters I’m a canister guy myself but I have heard the marineland biowheel can be high maintenance IMO I would go with the aquaclear you can costomize the media it has a large area for placement and volume of media.

That's all I ever do rinse I hottest water your tap can get and use a new tooth brush to scrub of any thing that might be stuck on to it then rinse again and in to tank.. I use lava rock in all my tanks and started to put the smaller rubble in my filters...hope this helps

Thanks everyone I think I will just stick to what is working and not play with a good thing it works for me. So if it's not broken don't fix it lol..

Wow very nice setup. Wish I could get live plants to grow I have tried and no luck. But again that’s a very nice tank you have there.

No I have not had any issues with water quality I have massive amounts of biological in my filters and I do 40-50% water changes every Sunday. My filter circulation is almost 5x turn over on my tank. A little over filtered I’d say lol.

I’m thinking of starting to use Puigen in my filter I have never used it befor can anyone help with telling me the pros and cons of using it or do I even need it my tank is well established been running for almost 2 years in my 75 gal senses I up graded from a 40 gallon which was running for...

Ok that sounds good add another filter and seed for a month then it will be ready to move to QT tank and then imo Qt new fish for a month to be 100% sure they are healthy

HI welcome to fishlore... Yes they would be crowded you could go with 8-10 of one of those groups they are all good picks each with it's own personality..

HI welcome to fishlore.. imo your stocked and too add another fish now with 18 fish and shrimp in a 24gal would be asking for trouble.. If you are set on adding a fish a electric blue ram would work and a 40l or 10gal would do if that's all you have for QT.. I QT fish for a min of a month before...

Nether it’s fake polyresin I only bought it because it has a big hollow space in the back where my clown loach Charlie hides.

This is some of mine

HI and welcome from southern Ontario as well. I too am into freshwater but no breeding for me I have a 75 gallon community and a 3gal with a betta (my wife’s that I am responsible to look after) lol.

You can always go with shell dwellers they are small as far as I know and don't need a deep tank.

So my first review if aquatop cf300 I have got it set up and running it is quiet and was very easy to set up and water flow is good. very impressed with size of 3 large baskets can hold a lot of biological media I had put all biological media from 204 fluvel in one basket and the other I used...

First hI and welcome to fishlore Joanne. Now with 6 ppm ammonia reading you should start with 50% water changes everyday and if you can get it use prime but at least use a good declinator dose whole volume of tank twice recommended dose. Do not vacuum substrate as it will help build BB as well...
