Quote: biological works by turning bad stuff into good stuff inside your tank. not in all cases

Well my friend I am going to both agree and disagree. Can you have ammonia and nitrates at the same time, yes, but it would have to be a situation we were trying to achieve. I know you already know this but this is my thinking on the subject We add something to our tanks that would give us...

You have to remember filtration is predicated on bio load, so you really can’t over filter a tank. A filtration system good for 100g will only filter what your 30g feeds it

if i have said this once i have oh well you know, in many cases if you wait for your nitrates to go to zero you may never put any fish in your tank
