I am going to buy activated charcoal and it’s a jar full of it, it doesn’t come with mesh bags. Can I just pour some of it into my filter or should I buy mesh bags for it?
@Jeffits been set up for a couple months, I know lighting and number of fish don’t do anything. I use 2 sponge filters and nitrates are average
@lefty oits brown if u look closely, it’s dirt not algae
I just got one and am confused on how to use it. I have it fully submerged in my tank and plugged it in and it seems to be working. The instructions said if u see the green light it means it’s working, I do not see it. Does the green light mean it senses green water or what?
There is particles all around my plants and it make them look dirty, I didn’t want this to happen but it did. I have things in the water column is that why?
@Tony si just started this aquarium (10 gallons) and there is algae starting to grow
@Coluthank god I have aquarium salt, I’ve never used it though. Will it actually help?
@Whitecloud09where can u get these chemicals
I have 2 plecos in other tanks that absolutely clean up algae infested tanks. I know this isn’t algae but will they eat this too and clean it up?
the white stuff is now here on my new driftwood😒
It’s mainly a Tiger barb tank with Florida darters, peacock Goldies, and clown loaches. I’m going to add some more javafern and other things but it was so dang dirty before
