    I suggest taking the fittings to a hardware store they may have the parts. Ask for a plumbing associate.

    I personally rinse mine out with distilled water. Deionized water works as well.

    Yes Australian Rainbowfish will eat small fish. Unfortunately Neons look like food to some species of fish. I suggest doing research prior to purchasing fish.
  4. Tlindsey
    The Ember Tetras will definitely eat some of the fry.

    I've read several threads where someone added a power head or adjusted the flow of the filter.

    I personally just siphon it up with a gravel vac during water changes.
  7. Tlindsey
    Definitely ok with the exception for fry that need daily feeding.

    @Mercfh I suggest purchasing the Serpae Tetra from a reputable lfs or online vendor. like @Pepere stated a big box store like Petco, and Petsmart fish are likely to be under nourished or ill. There filtration systems are connected to most of the aquariums.

    @face totally agree with you.

    I don't know how you cycled your aquarium but 2 weeks normally isn't long enough unless you jump start your filter with seeded media from an established aquarium. I suggest staying consistent with the water changes.

    @NickD what's the temperature of the aquarium during the day? If the temperature is ok for the fish you have I suggest placing a dark background on the aquarium to block the daylight.

    @face I should have stated dry dead leaves. I wait until fall here in Ohio before I collect them.
  13. Tlindsey
    You can boil the leaves to rid some of the tannins if you like.
  14. Tlindsey
    Not all but leaves from hardwood trees like Oak, and Maple are safe imo. Just make sure you collect them from areas that don't get fertilized.

    Your welcome!

    I personally have dead oak tree limbs and small stump in one of my aquariums. I collected this from my backyard. The backyard is part of a Metro Park. I've collected dead Oak leaves also for the aquarium. I definitely recommend aquascaping native setups with the leaves and wood. Here is a pic with a small stump and a few oak leaves. https://photos.app.goo.gl/TCDUjWRuCaWbpg2m7

    Has anyone tried this product. I recently purchased it. Fed very minimal amount to my pipefish and I believe one ate a few 😆 The only downside just too much so placed in the freezer after opening.

    @evanb616 Found this hope it helps. https://youtu.be/_E8T9b-67zc?si=30u8EX3tnOOGP7sZ

    Your welcome!

    Yes I would place the new cartridge in front of old. You may have enough beneficial bacteria in your filter to not affect anything. You can buy cut to fit pads. That's what I did.
  21. Tlindsey
    There are several brands https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/imagitarium-2-pack-filter-sponges
  22. Tlindsey
    Yes I agree It saves you money.
  23. Tlindsey
    @Gideyon There are sponge filters for a 5 gallon. If glass gets scratched the scratch will be permanent.

    @Ohio FishPlant Dude I think you should commend yourself. Ten years for a small tetra is rare. Great job giving that long life.

    @Rosi fortunately no cat hair found in the aquarium 😅
