Do any of your fish consume the excess banana waste?

Yeah i figured. Already use seachem brand +iron and seachem exel. Was just wondering considering i already make and use those aformentioned ferts already in the outside garden but you confirmed my suspicions thank you very much V1K!

Would the use of banana tea be viable for a planted tank? For those who dont know banana tea is made from soaking bananas in water so potasium among other things breaks down and into water. From their you add it to vegetable gardens for natural fertalizer, along with eggshells and coffee grinds...

Ive tried API quickstart and Marineland Biospira and i get far faster results with cycling with the biospira. Havnt tried seachem or frytzyme yet. I love hearing feedback though so i can make a better decision, especially with biospira stock drying up ill have to switch if I need it in the...

How does it help with the seeded media and is it strictly ment to be used in conjunction with it?

Ive heard fritzyme is good too!

Let me know what Your favorite is! I happen to prefer marineland biospira for freshwater though i heard they are discontinueing this particular product and its very scarce to find. I want to know your favorite and tell us all why!

Dechi, thank you. It might be good to say i have fine black sand for substrate so i dont go deep i just vaccum over it to get stuff sitting on top. Usually its plant material, sincr i feed every other day usually by next feeding the bottom will be about 100% clean of food. Rotting plant matter...

How often should i do the filter then if not monthly? Bi monthly perhaps? And thank you both for all your help!

This is EXACTLY what ive been looking for! Thank you very much. I first have to get my current problem with my tank under control but uve bee. Serious about getting a co2 system and having my tank thrive. Thank you very much im going to save this info, very much appreciated

No Chanyi i only changed the white floss pads and the carbon. I did the filter a week after i did the water change. I washed the bio balls and ceramic rings with clean tank water then replaced the carbon bags. Before i refilled the tank again i added another half dose of api quickstart and a...

This is my water test for today. What happend was about two weeks ago i did a monthly water change(my parameters since cycling my tank where 0,0,0 and my corys clean up so i figured i can ease back on water changes) and i forgot to unplug my filter, my tap water which i filled with is...

I see your canister. I am wrestling with some parameter problems right now so i wouldnt be getting on right this second only because i know on top of things co2 can throw off ph. Just trying to get an idea of what ill need and mabey some recomwndations. I have rotala wallichi, myrio green and...

The whole sheet was about 15 Tabs or so of api freshwater root tabs and they dissolved way to quick to remove. And funny yoy should mention nitrites because when i first did a water change I disturbed the substrate a bit and the next few days the tank was cloudy and nitrites and nitrates where...

Im looking into a co2 system for my tank and i need to know what size tank and what a standard settings to use it. ( never used co2 before outside liquid stuff. Also an aquarium newbie so any information is welcome

I used a whole sheet of api root tabs in a 60 gallon cube 24x24x24 and now im haveing crazy ammonia and nitrate spikes even though im doing 50% water changes and just changed my filter media, the week before the filter maintinence i did a water change and ran chlorinated water in my tank before...

Just ran another test. Ammonia is at about 1.0 ppm. Nitrites just started going up now at about .25-.5 ppm. I think my tank is cycling again which stinks. Had another danio die off too. Down to 5 now. Tank is waaay lesd cloudy today as well. What do you people think about changing my filter...

Yeah i had another danio die while i was working hut everyone else is ok so its strange plus my api master kit is saying its about 1-2 ppm so im alittle dumbfounded. I think it was my tap water and not dosing my tank with prime until after i filled the tank but filter was running so therefor...

2 a.m. and my ammonia is high. Going to do a 50% water change to mabey help

Thank you, will do! I cant think of whats doing it though other than the water change misshap i had. But i saw nitrates and nitites spike first on that so i though the ammonia eating bacteria was ok. I hope i didnt really royaly screw up -_-
