My renewed tropical
dwarf flame
Ok now here is my issue, wtf are these white dots, I dont have a super hi tech mega wow zoom or any lens, its a 7.0 mp canon so I cant get too detailed with the pics. They are white in color now and sway with the current, yesterday they were tiny specks that didnt move. Its not staghorn algea and doesnt appear to be brown or blue/green algae yet.
as well some weirdness, im not sure if its flakes or sand absorbing the decor color or what.
ok back to the tank
Dwarf blue
As for the undergravel and sand, aint happening, even power filters( hang offs) dont stand up to sand, canisters seem to be the only filter that handles sand just fine.
( sucks at 2am when the impeller in a penguin seizes and sounds like a kangaroo getting tortured)
This guy is the entire reason I went to sand
There are about 12 fish in there,
2 gourami
3 red tetra things
1 silver tetra w/ red tail thing
1 dying lone guppy( the other 5 bit it during the bacteria bloom)
2 cats spotted
1 rainbow shark
1 black kuhli loach
What size is your tank? canisters are very affordable for 55g and under tanks, 55+ should use a 350gph+ unit. Marineland makes a hot magnum that hangs off the back yet is a canister filter however, discharge and intake are in the same place like a power filter making them pretty much useless filters as far as whole tank filtering goes, with a floor canister you can have your intake and discharge on opposite sides of the tank as to get 100% water filtration, similar to what you have now however with a canister you wont have an inch of dookie under the filter plates.
I am thinking of a fluval unit this summer when I possibly convert to brackish water.
