Activated carbon clears up the water!

[letmeshowuhow2stunt]

Carbon can't remove tannins from water 20% water change every 5 days or so and I use a carbon called opti carb its made by fluval and it will make your water very clear and oder less im a firm believer of activated carbon. Im glad to see your tank is clearing up

hey sara, activated carbon also removes the nutrients needed for plant growth!

how come you don't have your aquarium filled up higher?

[MyFishCare101]

@MrIAN1077 The filter filters and oxygenates the water best when the water level is a bit below the filter :)

[MrIAN1077]

@MyFishCare101 Then you should buy an air pump and a bubble wand for oxygen in the water.Do you have a hood with lights for that aquarium?

[MyFishCare101]

@MrIAN1077 I don't have a proper lid and light for this tank, it's way overpriced here ($60!).

[MrIAN1077]

@MyFishCare101 WOW!that is over priced.What pet store is that at?

[animalcrazyfreak]

Pleeaase get a new lamp that looks dangerous :O

[martyb0y1981]

looks good but don't use it long term as it will take out stuff that your plants need

[CupidsHarrow]

You never had activated carbon in your filter?

Or is normal carbon different then actived ?

Because i always use activated xD

[MyFishCare101]

@CupidsHarrow I had carbon in the cartridge, but it didn't seem to do much of anything :P And your betta looks really healthy and happy :D
