When you do your weekly PWC’s, are you vacuuming your gravel good to get the detritus out of the gravel?
I saw in another of your posts that you may have a UGF. Have you been doing proper maintenance and cleaning on it? See my reply to your other post.
What are your water parameter […]

Me too, I mean he is neat to watch and stuff, but I don’t want to take chances that he will get hungry and grab an unsuspecting cichlid…
 
I also called a local pet store and they sell them for around that price too.
 
I just don’t have a set up for him at all, I […]

No I didn’t see the size they get to be, how big do they get to be?

I got a used 55 gal tank and it was taken down the day I picked it up. I took the UGF out when I got the tank home and started to fill it. The water was so filthy, I had to drain the tank and refill. I’m not sure how many times I […]

Right, so my reply is “don’t do that”. But again, I could be wrong. If Lenny or Steve or Ray advised “N” to do what she is doing, then go with their advice.
If you are going to take the tank apart, remove the UGF forever and replace with a different type of filter.
If […]

The polyester layer is going to have a lot of your bacteria. Did Lenny or Steve or Ray advise this step?
I think I would probably not do that until you are ready to replace the UGF with a power filter. But I haven’t had a UGF for 30 years, so Lenny, Steve or […]
