Thanks for the reply what is your normal nitrate in your mam tank. How oftern do you wc your tank
I have emailed pond guru and has advised me of about 10 kg of the media is required and have to wait at least 4-6 months for the media to work properly for the anaerobic bacteria to kick start. How good is the stuff do they really reduce nitrate a lot or not will i be able to reduce it to 10ppm with 30 wc every week or not thanks

PAUL MADFISH - 10 years ago

My nitrate never gets grater than 10ppm i honestly swear by this media its the best form of protection for any tank. It is a little more expensive than bio noodles or other ceramic media but you will get what you pay for

Hi I can't seem to lower my nitrate below 30ppm without doing water change of 25-35% every other day, I have 10 X 3 inch discus and 6× 3inch angel fishes with 4 plecks and few barbs in my 160 gallon tank. I have 2 aqua one 1250 filters and 1 eheim external filter. I only feed my fishes with my hand and throw few discus pellets. The tank has altogether 27 fishes. Please help, thinking of using algea scrubber
Can't do water change every other day as working long hours. Loved the mammoth tank m8

Hi there glad you like my tank. The best things you can do to lower the levels is to buy some bio home ultimate filter media heres a link to how it works http://youtu.be/QGI-ybQoJmg. I use this in all my tanks and its the best media on the market. To add anther filter in would not hurt also to over filtrate with discus really helps as they are a messy fish. I feed my fish between 4 to 7 times a day little and often is the key

Freaking mint. How did you do your major tank clean?

AquaLady 420 - 10 years ago

+PAUL MADFISH oooh I didnt know! So sorry lol. How ofter do you do the deep clean and why?

PAUL MADFISH - 10 years ago

Hi aqua lady ive been subbed to you for a while i will come and comment on some of your vids. To answer your question to do a major tank clean i strip out all the wood rocks and plastic plants then go tank vac mad i then do a massive water change this process takes me hours

AquaLady 420 - 10 years ago

J B - 10 years ago

welcome back. So stoked you got those barbs, they are definitely one of my favorite fish. That green they have... so nuts. I agree about the algae on the wood it does look cool. Not sure if it is good for the tank but it looks cool.

Mike Nichols - 10 years ago

Good update! Mammoth tank is looking nice and full are you planing on adding more fish.

PAUL MADFISH - 10 years ago

Thanks Ron i think i may swap some of the discus for different strains to to add some other colours but the only additions will be more corydoras just to help with the clean up thanks for watching
