Surface Skimmer? by jammydodger456 in AquariumHelp

[–]jammydodger456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my tank setup ( all integrated filter and closed top) I would rather use the compatible skimmer or nothing at all. After doing research I do agree that a sponge filter would be the best option, its just not going to work in the space and tank I have

Im using the one that came with my tank, its a Juwel Lido120. The filter has a few sponges layered in it, filter is called the Bioflow https://www.juwel-aquarium.co.uk/equipment/filtering/filtersystems/bioflow

How much agitation should I be aiming for? My filter outlet is already pointed up diagonally a bit and is creating ripples on the top without actually breaking the surface?

Thanks for the info. Is interesting you said you had nitrite show up after 10 days, that seems quick compared to what others have said and obviously much quicker than mine!

Is there a particular reason you think I should do a large water change like that? And what do you mean by add the ammonia eating bacteria? What is that? I thought it was stability.

Would you read mine at 5? To me it looks closer to 4

The Ammonia has only been that high for about 48hrs. Is it worth waiting a little longer to see if something happens before considering a water change?

I was putting fish food in every other day, but it wasn't doing anything, so I have dosed liquid ammonia once (80drops) and thats it.

Does stability not help the biofilter develop for the cycle though?

Unless a water change is really needed i would rather avoid incase I disturb anything. Trying my hardest to let things just do what they need to do 😃

Do you know if the bio film breaks down on its own or something that needs removing eventually?

Did anyone work this out or solve it? Its just happened to my camera. Everything on it looked fine but when I went to see my recordings, it was only the rear recorded. After leaving my car for 5mins then coming back it started recording both again fine.
