It appears your tank is not cycled, frequent large water changes are your friend, do not clean your filter.

Continue daily WCs until ammonia/nitrite are both at zero. Reduce feeding amount, you can even skip a day, 2 on, 1 off. What are your other parameters?

I believe that newly treated tap water with chloramine will give false ammonia readings. If you have treated water, you will reduce the levels by the amount of water changed. Check today.

I'm toying with the idea of a tank for a centerpiece or divider in a room rather than against a wall. What is the best tank setup to both hide equipment and allow views from around the tank without the clutter of HOB etc? Has anyone here set up a tank in this way?

I put it in a bag and back in freezer as trash came earlier today and I don't want 3 packages of fish food fermenting in the garbage for a week,

My beer fridge came unplugged. Luckily there was no beer in it. Sadly, the frozen fish food was thawed and cool. Do I need to pitch it?

20% won't do much. Do an 75-80% change, vacuum the substrate and repeat each day until levels (check before change) are at zero.

And most cheap thermometers use alcohol for the fluid, likely not toxic at the concentrations experienced if broken.

We CAN be obtuse, but we design cool stuff. It's all that cipherin' we did in college that damaged our comunikatin' brain cells, yeah, that's my story :rofl:

When my Buenos Aries Tetras juggle Hikari sinking wafers, or drive around the tank looking like a fishing lure with the wafer spoon looking thing attached to their mouth.

I love it when Swamp People has subtitles.

This sounds like a comic strip where each party howls after the other departs from the scene.

You can also put a T to divert flow sideways to reduce downward flow if necessary.

You could use a hose Y splitter hooked up in reverse from normal use. The problem is that flow rate is dependent on pressure so the higher pressure input will result in more flow, or backflow. You could feed each input via a separate header tank to mitigate this problem. You will have to...

To keep me sane whilst being a WFH engineering manager and father of teenagers, aside from fish, I'm growing a few herbs and veggies in planters. I have a plethora of jalapeños and banana peppers so tonight I make refrigerator banana pickles.

Neon tetras Kept them as a kid and their colors/shape/size stimulate the reptilian memory cells like eating paste, smelling ivory soap and crayolas.

Add keyword coloring? I know discord does this

Take the Schrödinger option

I like my Inkbird controller ITC-306A. It has dual temp probes for cross check and dual output relays for redundancy. There are cheaper models without Wifi. And you set without your phone.

And BBQ!

Is the water level above or below the top of the divider?

With scientific names there is no (less?) ambiguity across regions and cultures. Even more important given the number of Cory species. From wiki (only because it was easy) There are currently 161 recognized extant species in this genus, as well as one known extinct species:

Winking Corys are creepy and cute

I thought it was WA speak mate.

Interesting, I may try this to get my feet wet before creating a sump. Make sure the water volume in refugium tank is less that the above water volume in the main tank. If you loose siphon, the entire refugium will empty into the main tank.

Not really up on fish pathology, others (such as @Colin_T et. al.) are and can advise.

Assuming your tap is at zero, that means your tank had a pretty high nitrate level. Up your water change frequency and amount, 20 ppm is a bit high. Try to keep it at ~10 ppm max. Less than 10 ppm is even better.

Hmmm, params seem 'normal'. though a large WC to lower nitrates will reduce stress and promote healing. How often do you do WCs and how much? Do you vacuum the gravel?

GMAFB! I hate the nanny state! If you can deal with the heat, visit, if not, stay home. Heaven help us if there is a WWIII, the US ain't gonna help.

Welcome to TFF! Need w your water parameters (ammonia/nitrite/nitrate/pH and GH/KH along with units)

Hard to say - No real reviews jumped out out me, it does seem to be a Chinese import Co, not that that is necessarily bad but ...

We need to run a heat exchanger between the Southern US and your place.

If you can afford it, you may need that extra hose at a later time, and your Python will still be with you. Within reason, more hose is better. Also, flow rate (and suction) is proportional to the ID of the hose.

Interesting, so this is an integrated sump? I have not seen one before, but I am new to sumps.

I've only used a Python and can recommend it. The big cost of these is the hose. Speculating, but the Python hose my be more pliable, larger ID, less danger of toxic chemical leeching.
