  1. @rockfisher @Odd Duck I think next time I will try removing the green part. Thanks.
  2. @rockfisherthat would be great @Odd Duckdoing it your way, does that mean I don't need to remove the hose? The hose is attached to the other part you remove, right?
  3. @rockfisherso you're suggesting to detach the airline and remove sponge? That would be ideal if getting the airline back on wasn't a wrestling match🤣 @RockMonglerI usually pull up by tube or top of filter. I have a bigger bag that I dunk in tank water. Then I just put bottom of the filter in there and squeeze a few times. I think Cory has said to repeat the process until bag has clear water, but I usually only do it one or two times unless I'm having tank issues. It's not that difficult I just need 1)something to stand on and 2)a table to set my bucket on. The bucket is where the bag of ick from the filter ends up. Someone should have told me to see if I could reach the bottom of the tank before buying. Didn't think about being up to my armpits in tank water on a regular basis🤣🤣🤣 @Odd Duckdoing it your way, does that mean I don't need to remove the hose? The hose is attached to the other part you remove, right?
  4. Odd Duck don't you have to unhook the whole filter to do it that way? I was thinking maybe I can cut the sponge down the side. That way I would just remove the sponge.
  5. I probably wouldn't mind the bag in tank to clean the sponge if I would stand on something or had a shorter tank.
  6. I have the nano and added the air stone. So yes they come apart. I'm also looking for an easier way to clean my sponge too. I understand the bag idea. Just think it's a pain in the butt.
  7. Scapexghost do you mean I should wait three weeks from now and then dose with paraclense?
  8. I wasn't sure where this fit in. Not really disease. I quarantined new guppies. I did the 3 meds at one time as the co-op suggests. The week of that is up. Just wondering how long y'all keep in quarantine? I actually have them about 2 weeks. They were here about a week before I started meds. Any suggestions you have are much appreciated.
  9. @angeI am not familiar with LECA I'll try a search online. Thanks.
  10. @angeI like my sand substrate. It's just not good for planting. I don't plan to swap it out. Thanks for the input. Maybe a future tank.
  11. Thanks everyone. I was trying to avoid buying a bag of soil when I only need it for 2 pots. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet.
  12. I have sand substrate. Mostly I buy plants that can float or be glued to something. I do have some that need planting. I want to use the small terracotta pots. Is miracle gro safe to use? I have that for plants outside.
  13. @Wrencher_ScottI always use prime in the water so I don't think it's chlorine. I don't use any cleaning stuff around the tanks. I assume the small amount of ammonia was because they died the day before water change. I didn't notice anything strange about them but I'm still pretty new to the hobby. Hopefully it wasn't error on my part. Thanks for the input. @Patrick_Gi used Tim's ammonia, fishless. Parameters were fine a week before adding fish.

  15. @quikv6 I just posted update with all the parameters. Would appreciate any feedback.
  16. @Rob Bunkeris miracle grow ok to use or do I need something aquarium specific?
  17. @Rob Bunkerhow did you make out with these? I tried sand substrate with root tabs but my cories up rooted everything. I just bought more and was thinking of the little pots.
  18. I had checked the pH, ammonia, nitrate and nitrite but it was a week before putting fish in, those levels were all good at the time. I don't think I checked the gh or kh.
  19. I sadly sat watching one of mine die. I did not know about clove oil at the time. I just felt terrible. Wishing there was something I could do for him. Now I know better. I'm so sorry you're facing this terrible decision.
  20. I'm going to be lame. Would love Betta sorority. I also love the red parrot fish. I know, man made, deformed mouth. I just think they look so happy. Now if money wasn't a factor..I would say seahorse. I have always thought they were beautiful.
  21. I do that all the time. "Ya know, the thing that makes the sponge filter work" I have sent them in email when trying to find out what size I needed. Yep still a newbie.
  22. By empty you mean no animals, right?
