    high nitrates in the beggining

    Got Oxygen?

    its not that i point it at the sand, its actually pointing upwards but i guess its to powerful for my small tank cuz the flow bounces off the aquarium glass and downward towards the sand therefore creating holes on the sand.

    Got Oxygen?

    yeah i got HOB filter and a power head. so that should be ok right? im probably gonna get a smaller powerhead cuz the one i have is to strong and it blows the sand in different directions leaving large holes in the sand bed.

    Got Oxygen?

    Sorry for the newb question but, how does the water get oxygen if there is no underwater air pump? does it get it from the filter or skimmer??? i got a ten gallon tank and i was just wondering because im cycling it right now but i know that the bacteria that needs to be created also needs oxygen...
