Any ideas as why my water lettuce are rotting?

Anyone used this (Westland topsoil) in an aquarium? I have a load of this as was thinking of using it as it's just sat around instead of using money to get something different.

That completely answers my question haha. I was thinking about the ease of removing it with soil and having to move it aside to have the filter flush with the bottom or having it sit on the top, which I thought would make it less effective as some water would get pulled under the pad?? And would...

I am going to have a go at using one for a small fry tank. Looking at pictures of them all the tanks are bare bottom, Can you use them with substrate? Would you need a divider/separator so the substrate is not directly against the sponge, like perspex/glass/pvc pipe along the floor of the tank

Found this YT video on how to build a matten filter...looks like an awesome. Anyone tried these?

Slightly better with fin spread

Can anyone help I.D these 2 small Pleco. Rescued them from someone who didn't want them along with 2 almost fully grown gold fish in a 20L tank. Tested the water in their tank as it looked a bit gopping, and no surprise ammonia was 75+

Got an all pond solutions 2000ef today set it up as running done for a couple of hours now making a noice like running water and very noisy. Any ideas what this is? Is this normal for a canister?

Just set up a 55g Coldwater tank for some goldfish. Clear bottom just some bogwood and plants going in soon. Originally set up using a Fluval U4 but it was always cloudy and the fish didn't like the the flow and maintenance on the U4 altho not hard was awkward. I came across a Tidal 55 on...

Thanks some useful information..I have added and am adding more rock couple of pics from today.

I'm currently running 2 Fluval F4s (they were what I had when I got the tank) and already had lots of spare media / foam for them and both already was running on another tank. Im running 2 as I was advised that a turnover of 5 to 10 times the volume is what to aim for with Mbuna?? And each is...
