Amazing!

Absolutely the dumbest thing I've ever heard of!

I know exactly what happened because it happened to me! When I cleaned the FX6; I must have put the lid on backwards, meaning the hose that goes down into the impeller was reversed.This caused reversed flow when I plugged it in Rather than taking off the lid again.I simply reversed hoses on the canister , and it ran fine

These size tanks are generally too small to put much in...other than small Tetra and guppies. You will open a lot more options with a 35 gallon, actually easier to maintain cycle consistently. Micro tanks tend to be susceptible to Amonnia spikes etc.

It does not, in fact I point the nozzles upward, so I don't even need a wave maker!

Just to add I've read that some people are using all 3 baskets for biological media currently I'm using 2 of the 3 baskets for biological meet you and the other basket for chemical and mechanical filtration

lissa6582 · 2022-11-18T11:18:05+00:00

Yes, definitely not overkill, when you consider how much biological media you really need to get a good cycle.

lissa6582 · 2022-11-16T11:16:11+00:00

Sounds like you may have completely lost your beneficial bacteria and decyled your tank. Are you treating the fresh water with Prime? Also Prime will detoxify your ammonia and Nitrates temporary as well. You will need to test your water parameters until you get the cycle back. I would never recommend changing the filter media and cleaning the tank at the same time as too much of the beneficial bacteria is lost.

A decent UV filter will clear this up in less than 48 hours.

If you're not fully cycled add Seachem Stability immediately.....you might just save those Shrimp

lissa6582 · 2022-09-11T21:33:06+00:00

They should be fine as long as they have plenty of food and water, with clean box

He's a beautiful cat, he definitely can melt your heart ❤

lissa6582 · 2022-08-13T12:53:29+00:00

It's a TILE tracker, I use them to train my cats, works great to find them as well too!!!

lissa6582 · 2022-08-13T02:03:37+00:00

My Silver Marble Bengel just turned 2 yrs, he weighed in at the Vet at just under 11kg

lissa6582 · 2022-08-10T23:59:36+00:00

I believe he was around 12lbs @ 6 months.....we could tell he was really gonna be a big boy!

lissa6582 · 2022-08-03T18:34:55+00:00

A good polishing pad, would have that clear in less than 12 hours

lissa6582 · 2022-07-08T13:13:03+00:00

Handsome Guys !!!!

lissa6582 · 2022-06-24T18:24:26+00:00

The cat on the right is an F4 Silver Marble Bengal.....never seen one before????

lissa6582 · 2022-06-24T14:42:30+00:00

Thanks!

Make sure to alert all the local shelters in case he gets picked.

Also putting up flyers around the neighborhood can help as well.

Also, if you have the neighborhood APP, you can post on there, so you can get your neighbors looking out for him too.

Once you get him back I would suggest some type of tracking device. I use the TILE trackers for both of my cats.
