Thank you I will try to attach a picture let me know if it works.

Pretty much overnight I observed this white, cotton-like algae behind this stick in my aquarium. I have never seen anything like it. Can anybody identify it and let me know if it’s at all harmful? Thanks!

Really want to just sit down and nerd out on different fish species and such. What are a few good websites that offer a lot of knowledge on species profiles, breeding, history ect. Thank you!

Currently, the water level is a little lower than it usually is by around half an inch. The flow isn't quite pouring in but I have noticed a difference in surface agitation and noise. I do have larger stem plants planted so when they grow large enough they will be interacting with the outflow but they just aren't large enough yet.

Alright I'll definitely give that a try. Do you think that will cause the food to get filtered out that much quicker though? Thank you! I'll try to optimize the HOB before having to switch to a sponge filter. I definitely want to give them a try at some point though.

Since the filter is placed in the middle of the tank in the back, when the fish travel across the front of the tank they do fight the flow a little bit but they don't seem to be constantly struggling. I am only feeding finely crushed up xtreme krill flake and Aquarium Coop's fry food. I find that at the water's surface, the food gets blown around so much that it makes it hard for the fish to get to as they are constantly trying to chase it but I would say that 3-5 minutes after feeding, the tank doesn't look like it has been fed.

Hello all, I currently have a newly planted 40 gallon breeder stocked with 6 ember tetras. I have a Marineland penguin 200 hang-on back filter and I fear that A). there is too much filtration and is sucking up any food before the fish really get a chance to eat it. B). the HOB is providing too much flow in the tank. Is it possible either of these are a problem? If so, should I switch to a sponge filter or is there any way to slow the flow of the filter? I already have a prefilter sponge on the intake. Thanks!

Interesting, I'll definitely have to give them some more research. Thanks!

Good to know. I think I would want something to be seen but I suppose that function should follow form. Thanks Kathy, when would you determine that the plants are solid enough to not be dug up. The chain sword that I have is currently growing vertically and some side shoots have appeared as well

Hi Brandon, the substrate is Seachem fluorite black

Hi All, I have a newly planted tank a couple of weeks old now with some small carpeting up in the foreground. Does anybody have any recommendations for some bottom dwellers that I can add that wont dig up all of the little plants as they get settled? I've heard that even corys can be a menace to this but any feedback and experience is very much welcomed. Thanks!

Adding new fish to an existing school
William Lynch replied to William Lynch's topic in General Discussion
Thanks! I am hoping to have a school of 20 or more at some point. Gotta start slow though! -
Just purchased 6 ember tetras to start a new tank. Will it be ok to add more to the school later on or will the existing embers school more on their own?
