Wait for few days it will settle by itself, most probably bacteria boom due to the new media, and the bacter ball is working... And don't add too many fish too fast.

My advice is never use chemical algae remover/killer, it'll kill some species of flora, and you won't even know it until they start dying. Find the cause and treat the source, if not you'll be facing this problem over and over again. Normally chemical algae remover only for fish only tank.

TQVM, will update in next few days..

anybody knows where to get elbow connector for 12/16 hose? or eheim had their product in the market?

Since your tank is a established one, IMO there is no need for the carbon pad. As normally in planted tank we only require it during the initial set up when there is nitrate and ammonia surge.


Added on December 11, 2011, 7:47 pm

Telling use where you stay would be a good start... We'll refer you to the one nearest.

Generally, for spare parts for EHEIM, IME I found that only The Pet Family sells them. More complete.

tq radver, me stay at Bandar Baru Bangi, working at Subang, did u meant Pet Family Taman Megah PJ? purchased my 2213 at NA yesterday, lucky to have it at promo price..will visit NA tomorrow, and pet family as well..

perhaps next time if u want to use new filter or backwash spare ur tank water,
add in the water ti the new filter

but of cos use the healthy tank water
*
yup, i did rinsed for a few times for the medias supplied, maybe that still not enough, need intensive rinse i think...

another 1 noob question, can we use filtered or RO water for our tank as my tap water supply was so bad condition..so rusty and brownish...

Hi,

How to know if my CO2 is out of gas? Coz I still bubble in the counter even though the last time I filled the cylinder was like 3 years ago....
*
read the pressure of your regulator, if the reading is about 500psi, i think it still be good... my 3kg tank served me for 2 years, 1bps 10hrs per day...

hmmm.. bba could be caused by dirty filter too smile.gif

i think unstable co2 is referring to the amount u supplying when u on your light, make sure its enough for your plants but not too much to kill ur fauna

light ON + little co2 = algae partying, light ON + too much co2 = fauna pengsan  rclxub.gif

co2 indicator in tank should show green or green yellowish
*
what about is LIGHT OFF + Co2 on?

my co2 indicator is green yellowish

in the morning the green is darker

so i increase my co2 up to point b4 my fish pengsan ?

dun think it's dirty filter coz i juz dump in a new 2213 last week

i did not rinse the media too...so far ok no cloudy water as someone experienced
*
i think by increasing your Co2 level, it might kill your fish..found the reason of my cloudy water, the bacter ball.. will wait for a few days, hope to have the crystal clear as before, or any chemical would might help to make it clear faster..

Somebody pls help...Got my Co2 indicator this afternoon, did my 1st check tonight, it turn yellowish rapidly during the first Co2 checker drop even i switch off my Co2, then I put the indicator into pail filled with tap water, the problem is, the indicator remain yellow in color after 1 hour inside the pail, is that normal? or the chemical is expired, or it may need a few hours to get color change? TQ

put few drops of tap water on white cardboard.
directly put 1 drop of co2 indicator into tap water. observe what color it is.

Yes bro Weijie, did that way, but i'm using wife's cup instead of white cardpboard...its yellow-green with water from aquarium tank, green-blue with tap water, looks the tester chemical is doing fine, my concern is, why the indicator doesn't change in color after i put it into mop pail filled with tap water

Weijie, do u have Amazonia 9L powder type in stock? PM me the price
