I'm sure an extra filter will help, as I don't think the Biorb's filtration system is very good (although I've never owned one) but you still need to test the water and change as neccessary until the beneficial good bacteria grow in the new filter.
I wouldn't rely too much on that person's advice; anyone who think it's ok to put a Gyrinocheilus in a Biorb isn't to be trusted, IMHO.
Hi fluttermoth, I'm the person with the Chinese sucking loach in my biorb, the fish came with the orb (2nd hand) so it was either keep it or flush it, I chose to keep it. I've had the orb set up in its present configuration for well over a year now with no problems with either water quality or the fish population since I put the Ehiem & siporex in to replace the biorb rubbish, just thought you should know before passing judgement on me.
