Thanks for the help you guys! I will ditch the polishing pads. One YouTube i watched, a guy said to put polyester stuffing (like from a pillow) in the filter to catch particles... ever heard of that?
And do you have any experience with Fluval Clearmax?
I siphon the poop out of that thank (no pun intended
) i have a Sand bottom because I like the look and yep I can see why BB tanks are easier... I just love the sand look! But it is a pain to get the poop out of the sand sometimes. The fluval doesn’t seem to suck it up. Do you think adding a wave maker would be a good idea? I have 5 discus in a 65 gallon. The tank is taller so the outtake head doesn’t stir up the bottom at all. (I had 6 until last night but lost one baby suddenly
those little guys are hard bugggers to keep, he seemed to be doing so good for his 5 months I have had him)
