5/24/2023 | 7.6 | 0 | 0.5 | 5 | Replaced foam filter from pond with new Biochemical Sponge Filter Ultra Quiet Aquarium Air Pump Bio Sponge. I ran the new filter in the pond for about and hour before putting into tank. *FYI - Bubblers and HOB filters that disturb the top of the water too much kill floating plants like the ones used here. You can use workarounds for them though -> |
