    External filters for 240litre tank

    Hi, So I have brought a second hand 240 litre tank that came with a eheim pro 2 250T. I believe the specs for this are: for aquariums from 120-250 litres and 950l/h. Is this filter going to handle this size tank? Im thinking its not? Any help is appreciated

    High ammonia

    No my water source doesn’t contain ammonia because before I upgraded my 64 litre didn’t have problems with ammonia. Yeah I treat all new water that goes it into the tank. Never had a problem until I upgraded the tank

    Corydoras and API melafix ?

    Hi, I have noticed one of the peppered Corys has some sort of wound on its tail. I am not sure if it has cut it on something in the tank or has been bitten. Either way, I left it a few days to see if it got better by it self but hasn’t. Is API Melafix, that treats damaged fins, okay for peppered...
