hey guys, after cleaning the filter in the new tank, i looked at it this morning and it is 100% clear, the water has been cloudy for the past week or so.. so im guessing i really helped the cycle along, if not, instantly cycled it

thanks for your reply, i rarely change the carbon in my tank, so i would have to assume it would be a good biomedia my filter always has carbon in it, but like i said earlier, i usually just clean the filter pad out a few times, and eventually change it after 2.5-3 months or so, which is...

also can anyone recommend me a good test kit? the one i have now is telling me i have very very low ammo. moderate nitrites and about 15ppm nitrates i have had it for a while, and i dont think it is very accurate because i am almost positive i should have more ammo in the tank since im not...

i have heard of that before, and i have heard it works well.. but is rather expensive i cant remember the name of it though.. it had a kind of weird name IIRC edit* i found it, its called bio-spira and it is no different than buying "live sand" that is in a bag, its not a joke or a way to...

just regular gravel that was cleaned it got worse over night which seemed very odd, i would think it would get better

talking to someone directly would be best i would talk to the store manager and mention how his employees are giving wrong advise
