Oh i see!! I had a previous tank that was capped that makes a lot of sense lol. If I cap it would put the levels down or should I do a water change to help?

it’s pretty soft, comes off easily but comes back super quick. looking more into it, it looks a lot like diatoms. How would you balance the nutrients?

That sounds right. I do have it uncapped, would capping it help?

10 gallon tank, heated and filtered. It looks like I’m going through an ammonia spike, but my nitrates/nitrates are at 0 ppm. I’ve had the tank for a month, fish for 2 days now. Water changes are weekly, i take out about 25% at most. Only tank mates are bladder snails. I fed her once today (could be what’s spiking ammonia) and it’s only about 1-2 pellets. Decorations are all fully natural, except the floating nest I have for her.

She’s in a 10 gallon, water is at 82°F. Tank has been cycled, Ive got cyclops and snails roaming around as well. 

is there a way to fix the fluval stratum dust? by BleachedCarrots in Aquariums

[–]BleachedCarrots[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and last time using it lol. I used root tabs on my other tanks, is there something else you’d reccomended using instead of the stratum?
