Thank you so much! :)

Haha we do! I almost went with cherry barbs but I was worried they might nip the angel fish. But I also have albino Corys, pearl gouramis, and bolivian rams. Is that a german ram i See? I also have a bristlenose hiding somewhere in there. Ill be moving the guppies and balloon rams to their own...

Thankyou! sounds cool! where can I check that out?

Thankyou! Thank you! He was my first fish that the fish store told me I could put in my 20 gallon LOL

Hey thank you! I change the water of all my tanks every sunday

Started 6 months ago with a 10 gallon and now I'm 7 tanks deep haha. Finally finished this tank after rearranging everything a million times. This is my 40 breeder community tank I have a 55 gallon cichlid tank another 29 gallon community and a nano rack.

Thank you so much! I was afraid I would hurt the fish if I changed too much of the water out. But that definitely makes more sense that I'm just leaving all the bad stuff in there. I'll try that today and check back.

Never used activated carbon. I have a decent amount of plants in there but not a lot like the fully planted ones. If my cycle completed wouldn't I have at least some detectable amount of nitrate?

No dead anything and my plants are fine although I only have two live plants in there. Rinsed my filter when I did my reading but it didn't seem abnormally dirty or gunked up. I'll upload a picture tomorrow!

I'm currently cycling my planted 29 gallon tank going in to week 3 now. And there's no detectable ammonia, nitrites, or nitrates with my API master kit. The kit is not expired and is reading nitrates and nitrites on my other aquarium. I let the tank run for about two weeks use with some bio...

The other day one of my fish died overnight in my established 10 gallon. I tested my waters with the api master kit and my nitrites were off the charts purple. My ammonia is zero and my nitrates are about 5 ppm. My kit is not expired and it reads zero nitrites on my tap water and my 29 gallon...
