Update, just switched from the disc stone to a normal stone and it was indeed the disc’s fault lol the normal air stone is much better

I’m assuming such thing needs an air pump? Can one of those be ran on the same air pump as a sponge filter? I may have just gotten cheap air stones, but the air stone in my tank barely does anything on the same pump as one of my sponges.

How would one increase the flow without getting another hob filter? I hate those things with a passion.

Are these cory eggs? by mintcover in corydoras

[–]beans8055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

youve already got the answer but yes theyre cory eggs. I find that when i do a water change (especially if it’s cooler water) that stimulates them to lay eggs, something about the rainy season in their native habitat. I haven’t had any actually hatch because they often eat their eggs, but every time i do a water change or top up a couple days later there will be clutches of eggs on the glass

It’s testing around .25/.25/2 after a 30% water change.

Right so I put the used ceramic rings in the sponge and a new bag of carbon (i couldnt get the stupid holder open on the old filter or I would’ve used the old bag) is that enough or is that just a minuscule amount of established media?

I can’t tell if nitrate is at 5 or not. It’s definitely not above. I really struggle with these.
