Re: Diatom Filtering - how long? Once I get the aquarium organized and settled, I'll post some pics. I added 100 Cardinals today and 100 Rummy Nose. They are schooling real nice. I suspect I have a few more weeks to go before the aquarium stabilizes. I suspected a bacteria bloom, but hoped it would clear out quicker than this. We'll see how the Vortex works.
No ammonia - but I don't know if Nitrites are loading up yet. I am changing about 10% of the water every day just to stay ahead. I'm looking forward to when the water is crystal clear. |
