As pointed out by Burnout a stable PH is better then trying to lower it what fish are you putting in there? When filling after your water change start the fill and then add water conditioner for the total water volume of your tank and you will be good that how I have always done it and no...

Looking amazing I’ve been watching from the beginning.

Ok thx so I guess it don't make any difference which one I use I have lots of space in my filter for it

Ok are they a lot bigger I was going to switch from bio rings to matrix on my next cleaning day

Could someone tell me what the difference between matrix and pond matrix if any at all. Thanks in advance

I know they hold a massive amount of media I got about 2lbs of lava rock in one of the baskets. It is the smaller one 265 gph so I’ll be looking at about 2ltr max then sounds good I will get another Ltr then already have 1ltr just waiting till next cleaning day for that filter.

I’m planning to change over my aquatop cf300 from biorings to matrix could anyone tell me how much matrix will fill a basket. Second should I put the matrix in a media bag or just leave it loss in the basket.

I was left handed until I was 19 when I was in an accident and 2 surgeries, 11 months in a cast on my left hand and 2 years Thrapy to learn how to use my hand again in which time I learned to use my right hand.

IMO salt for your bristlenose pleco is not good as they don’t tolerate salt very well. I have treated ich with raising the temp to 84f and do water changes with vacuum every other day. Remember to add an air stone because higher temps drop oxygen levels n the water.

I don’t know about acrylic tanks but I would think it would have to be a pretty deep scratch to be something to worry about. It don’t look to be a deep or big scratch IMO I wouldn’t worry about it.

Ok like said I read it wrong but I seen you have 0ppm nitrates and you should have some nitrates if you are cycled. Just keep a watch on it and keep up the good work.

If I am reading it right if you have 0ppm ammonia/0ppm nitrite/0ppm nitrate then your tank is not cycled. You should watch for ammonia spikes check every day and dose with prime as needled

Yes it will still show a positive reading on your test.. As prime only detoxifies ammonia/nitrates/nitrites for 24hrs it doesn't remove it your BB should take care of it in 24hrs on a healthy cycle...

You can plug everything for your tank into a power bar with a circuit breaker built in that will trip if it shorts. That's what I have everything on my tank plugged into.

I still think that is the best way for you to clean your filter and remember to test you perimeters the next day after cleaning

I only suggested to gently swish around bio media and squeeze sponges because it is a newly cycled tank only a couple weeks old.

You should be ok to just give it a dip in some tank water to get the worst of the gunk off just don't be to harsh with it and you will be fine.. the sponges can give them a fast squeeze and put back

Welcome to fishlore.

There is nothing that says you can’t might just take longer because it will s small.

If the impeller cover will not clip closed and seat tight the impeller will vibrate and cause bubbles and rattle in the well.
