He didn't ask you :D

are you still doing daily water changes? and what is the ammonia today?

It's really sad to see you guys going back and forth trying to get ammonia down to 0 in a QT with no success. I run a 10 gallon QT also with aqua clear 30 filter and I have 0 reading across the board after 24hours, without use prime or daily waterchange. Water change are done every 2 weeks with...

I have no interest in this thread, I am not in the enviromental business. But I will say this if I am building a house like melas I would have done it totally different.

Again, now one is sugguesting to fully stock a tank from day one. It say you can have fish in day one if you don't have LR to cure. The RN bacteria need to eat as well, it consume protein, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Fresh LR will have ton of that stuff, once the LR is cured it will no...

I am talking about the advanced aquarist on this web site, not something else. Still thinking inside the box I see........ Small tank doesn't cycle any faster then larger tank, not under this system, they all cycle the same: 24hours period. No one is saying full bioload in one day, it's say...

Fragmaster, Wouldn't you be suprise if I told you the "someone" from the other thread has a different bacteria that solve problem you guys are discuss here? Remeber, enviromental is HDL's main business not aquarium. :P

Good for you. :) Why do LFS, wholesalers and distributors put fish in a little cubical? beside for easy catch, and why don't they feed the fish more often?

That is not a bad advice when the system can support it. It is a bad advice when a system can't support it and fish start dying. Here is the thing: there are all around you yet you won't even go see it or pickup a phone? They won't come to you, you have to go to them. Unless you are lucky...

I am not sure what part of country you live in, with the rate of the tropedo filter is selling, it won't be long before you meet one. Keep in mind, torpedo isn't the only filter that works with this system, small tank can use regular canister filter that's been sold in LFS. I don't know what...

There is nothing wrong to accept easy solutions when the solution works. Fish keeping doesn't have to be hard, it should be easy and enjoyable. Too many bad LFS are giving bad advice to new comer, I found out which store sold the tank to the woman I visited last night. I know you hear of them...

What bad advice? I don't have to have you believe this work or not, what matter is the customers are happy with the end result. Sooner or later you are going to encounter people using this system, you can then take a close look at in action. It makes no difference what I said unless you...

Fragmaster answered the cardinal question, sometime it stay inside the chest. The invert was sold a week ago, one of my old customer was bugging me for 3 days for the piece so I sold it to him to get him off my back.

So some reason you people think I feed guppy for long term, I wonder where you get that idea from? I know you just assumed. I believe I've posted the lion is now eating 100% P.E. Mysid shrimp, live feed only was done for the first two days after that is all P.E. Mysid. That may be true in...

Day 30 Water test result: Temp: 84 pH: 8.4 ammo: 0 NO2: 0 NO3 :0 CA: 650 Alk: 240 Density: 1.015 Nothing to report on this tank, other than the lion will be move to a 60 gallon tank over the weekend. He is now big enough to be with other fish. I am hoping to get another small lion for...
