[Seachem Flourite]

Hello,

I have the Seachem Flourite brown. I was wondering if I have to rinse it before adding it to my tank. Online some videos say don’t do it because it could wash away nutrients.

[Circulation Part 2]

So I got the nano circulation pump off of the website. Does anyone know how long I should have it on per day in my 20 gallon? Heavily stocked with mollies, platys, corys, kuhlis, and even a pair of GBR. I also have heavily stocked plants (pogos) some Amazon swords, and water sprite, but a majority POGOs. Anyone have any reccomendations?

[Water Circulation]

I've tried more advanced hydor powerheads, as well as very inexpensive internal water pumps for this purpose. I'm convinced that all you really need with a 20 gal is a cheap, ca. $10 pump. I tend to prefer to position mine on a side, 1/2 or 3/4 of the way down (nearer the substrate) pointing across the tank lengthwise. I also tend to position my HOB off to one side. Sometimes I add a mall sponge on the opposite side in the back too. This picture is not really helpful . . . but in the back left is a large HOB. On the bottom left, near the gravel, is a cheap water pump pointing across the bottom 1/3 of the tank from left to right. In the back right is a small facto-surge sponge filter that draws flow upward. So, the effect is _sort of_ a circle: down and in on the left, across the bottom, up the back right, and then back down to the intake. 

Thanks. Do you have a link for the pump?

 

[Water Circulation]

So I’m thinking about getting a water circulation pump for my 20 gallon. (Nano size). If I decide to get it, where would I position it in relation to my HOBs I have in the tank?

I sometimes get this in my newly started tanks.  It goes away by itself after a while, or once the tank is cycled I add some snails and they take care of it.

Got it. What kind of snails do you use?

[Background]

What material would you use?

[Background]

I am trying to put a background on a 20gal. Unfortunately, my tank is already up and running. Is there a way to add a good black background with not having to take everything out of my tank?

[Weird thing on walls]

Does anyone know what this stuff on my walls is? How do I get rid of it?

[Plant fertilizers]

Thanks. So I’m just going to add all 3 tonight since I don’t use any carbon. That works?

[Plant fertilizers]

Thanks. When you say them what do you mean? Add the carbon first then wait a few days to add fertilizer?

[Plant fertilizers]

So when I do water changes I am planning on adding my doses of easy iron, easy green, and easy carbon at the same time. Is that safe? 

[Easy Carbon and Black beard Algae]

So I’ve gotten some easy carbon, but I was wondering how to use it to treat my black beard algae on my plants, Zoe’s bio filter, etc.

[Siamese Algae Eaters]

Sorry for the tech problems posting this. I am trying to get some SAE for my 20gal. Some online sites said to do only one, but the store I am going to buy from said to do 3. Any suggestions?

[Amano Shrimp]

Hi- I just got 6 new Amano shrimp yesterday and added them to a 20gal. I have other fish in the tank such as cories, neon tetras, GBR, kuhli loaches, mollies. It is also heavily planted. Is there a way to get my Amano shrimp to come out more often?

 

[German Blue Ram Breeding]

I currently have 2 German Blue rams in a 20 gallon male and female. I want to add 3 albino corys. Would this hurt my chances at breeding the GBR?
