Thanks Vicki!
Do you test daily for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates and at over what level do you do a WC?

Thanks you too Doni.
I had read your thread a couple of times and I just read it again.
I really liked your Citron Goby and the Picassos. The Citron just might make my fishy wishy list.

I liked the way you glued the pvc segments. I would not have thought of that.

I understand what you are saying about the whisper powerfilter.
I was concerned if I added a second sponge into the chamber that there would not be enough water flow to be effective. When I buy an Aquaclear should I get a unit rated for a larger tank than my 10g? say a Aquaclear 30 or 50?

My other question is about cycling the tank with ammonia as you did.
Is there any special type that you get or any type that I must stay away from? Or is all ammonia created the same? Then how much would you use to start the cycle in a 10g tank? a capful? 1/4 cup? a capful every 2 or 3 days?
I think I remember a conversation between you and Leebca about using fish food along with ammonia?
