I’ve got the Aquaclear hang on back filter. Oh, I knew that sponges shouldn’t be replced too frequently because they hold a lot of the bacteria, but I’d thought you should replace em when they’re very visibly dirty! At least I got some use out of them by using them to help cycle my other tank...

I’ve got the Aquaclear 50 hang on back filter :)

Thankyou! I am aware, I’ve been watching him closely since turning the filter up. He seems to be behaving normally. I am going to turn the filter down now anyways though.

Yes I did consider that the acidity could be impacting this! I just didn’t understand the science enough to actually know how. I am planning on getting some floating plants and so more anubias to help use up some of that nitrate, since most of my plants in there are heavy root feeders and...

Hi there, thanks so much for your detailed response! You could absolutely be right about this - it’s something I didn’t consider but makes perfect sense. I portioned out food for my fish for my housemate to feed everyday… but when I got home he proceeded to tell me he “always added extra cos...
