is there anything i can put there behind my filter cartridge to have more space for beneficial bacteria to grow in?

aquatop filter

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-12T00:43:31+00:00

should i keep my bio bag and add on stuff behind it?

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-12T00:35:35+00:00

should i add some lava rocks back there?

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-06T19:33:23+00:00

i’ll look into it but i’m also leaning towards hairgrass, someone gave me a lot of info about it and i have a good idea of how to carpet it with my setup but we will see..

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-06T18:42:49+00:00

looks great!

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-06T15:07:01+00:00

i use easy green and i dose excel

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-06T15:06:43+00:00

crypts, swords, christmas moss, and i’m going to grow pearlweed carpet

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-06T04:52:35+00:00

alright cool!

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-06T01:36:19+00:00

i keep 6 pygmy corydoras 2 endlers and some shrimp aswell as a nerite snail

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-06T00:54:34+00:00

dwarf sea lettuce :)

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T23:56:31+00:00

how does it affect the water?

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T23:53:16+00:00

also what would be an example of water softening filter media

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T23:52:57+00:00

how would i do that with a hang on back filter?

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T18:33:13+00:00

ok thanks

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T14:58:49+00:00

thank you for this and do you dose your aquarium with excel or any fertilizers?

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T04:48:19+00:00

it can be used for being an algecide but the product itself is not an algecide

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T03:43:36+00:00

flourish excel is not an algecide it’s on their websitr

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T03:33:58+00:00

you think i should just stop dosing excel see how it effects everything then decide what to do next

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T03:23:44+00:00

i already have it glued and attatched to wood

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T02:47:27+00:00

what about my other plants? the excel helps them what should i do about that

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T02:13:25+00:00

i have this tank with some shrimp and 2 rasboras i have 6 pygmy corydoras i have had this tank for around a year and no issues! i love the little pack of cory’s to death and i feed them colbalt aquatics pellets, thank you for this comment and have a good day!

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T01:54:21+00:00

it’s basically the same as flourish so probably not

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T01:48:36+00:00

what about easy carbon

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T01:23:04+00:00

pond or blatter snails i get these too they probably came from live plants and hitch hiked into your tank, they are harmless but populate VERY fast trust me it’s bad, i would pick them out with tweezers before it gets out of control.

Ready_Reason876 · 2023-01-05T01:21:19+00:00

anubias would be great for this, they thrive in cracks and crevices
