I searched eBay and found no media but did find a seller that sells the filter itself. I sent him a message asking if he also sold media but have yet to get a reply. I wounder if he knows or cares...

I recently acquired an AZoo Mignon 1000 with a 29 gal. tank. Apparently media is no longer made for it. I have searched the internet over for days and not one place that sells it. I did find one site...

I have used Nutrafin Cycle [per directions on label]and it worked. I added fish slowly and in 20 days I had a cycle. I did wait another 3 weeks before I added a full load.

I don`t think there are...

This works for me.

Have you ever added air stones?

Looks very interesting.

Which HOB filter for a 15 gal. planted tank?

Fluval C3 [153gph] or AquaClear 30[150gph]?

I have used the AquaClears years ago and had good results.

Don`t know anything about the Fluval C...

My reason for Monday WC is back in 1990 when I got in the hobby the first time I had Sundays and Mondays off. So, when I got back in the hobby I just stuck with Mondays. I`m off all days now, I`m...

I was just wondering what day do you guys change your aquarium water? I change mine every Monday. I`m talking about cycled tanks. Not tanks that are being cycled.

Also, any certain reason why on...

Looking end to end and only seeing clear is great!

But, as we all know, utopia can end at anytime.

The water in my 29 gal. is invisible! If not for the water movement from my filter it would seem that the fish were suspended in air. I think this may be the clearest tank I have ever had without...

From what I read the reviewer had been doing this for sometime without any problems.

I know, it sounds really weird.

Here is the link to the review:

I was reading a product review on a HOB Aqueon Power Filter and the reviewer said that she wrapped Grab-It Dust & Allergen Dry Cloths around the filter media. Said the filters work MUCH better and...

Add the dechlorinator to the fresh water bucket and then pour it into the drained tank. Only enough to "dechlorinate" the new amount of fresh water.

I have already talked about this very thing to my 3 biggest fans of my 29 gal. tank. My grandkids. And they think it would be just awful to rehome any of the fish. So, I guess I`ll just stick to...

My problem is that my 29 gal. is near capacity. So, adding more fish is not an option.

I also have a lone male swordtail in the mix. He swims right in there with all the others. Kinda acts like...

Never thought of that. The ole "security in numbers".

My Schooling Fish Don`t School!

Yea, that is right. No schooling

Drs. Foster and Smith have a web site you can order from.

What you want is Ammonium Chloride solution to cycle your tank. You can buy it on line at drsfosterandsmith.com Only about 3 bucks. You could also use some kind of live Nitrifying Bacteria like...

Back in 1990 when I got in the hobby the first time I used Aqua-Clear. Great filters. I think a AC 20 would be a good choice. 100 gph should be enough circulation for a 15 gal. without being too...

I have a 29gal. tank with 6 Zebra Danios, 5 Colombian Tetras, 6 Sepia Tetras. All are very hardy fish and easy to keep. Very active fish too. I plan on adding 4 Cory cats later.

I have decided when I set up my 15gal. planted tank I will use filtration. Maybe only 6 or 8 small schooling fish. Then after the tank gets well established I will experiment by cutting down on...

Did not sound rude to me.

Then I guess it would be safe to say that a planted tank with fish could use less filtration than a fish only tank of the same size? Less carbon/less nitrates...
