I'm looking for a good scavenger for my 55g to help clean up after my messy eaters. The inhabitants of the tank can be seen in my signature. The fish(s) needs to be 6" or less adult size, and I'd like it to be one or two fish only please. (i.e. no schools of corys etc...) Tank parameters PH...

I rinsed the bio bags in the whisper 60 in the water I took from the tank during one of the changes. Other than that I haven't rinsed in any of the other media.

My tank has been cycling for about two weeks. Before this had occurred the tank had gone through a full cycle and had normal levels (0ppm amonia, 0ppm nitrites, <15ppm nitrates) for about three weeks with fish in, including adding a couple of fish as well in that time. About 2 weeks ago I...

I did the water change and I think something went bad. Before the water change levels were a little over .25 ppm amonia, ~.37 ppm nitrites (somewhere between .5 and .25), and ~7.5 ppm nitrates. I took out about 19 gallons, and there was some evaporation + water that the Rena sucked up. I...
