What Kind Of Filtration Are You Using ? Options

[jhansolo]

your poll is too wide, I'm using 3 of the choices, then how? Anyway shouldn't this go to the tank setup forum.

its not about removing the physical poo.. its more of the ammonia dissolved in the water!

Thanks for the concern on ammonia, Bro CyberET.

But when I test my water parameters, ammonia always at 0 and nitrite is also 0, only thing that goes up is my nitrate, which reaches 60 on day 5 ( tats Y change water every 5 days instead of 1 week )

aeration seems low, or maybe the water level is just inches above the outlet of the sponge filter

Low meh, ok - just turn up my air pump power a bit

Water level is just above the plastic tube on the sponge filter.

there issn't a need for heater unless your aircon is blowing directly at the tub and set at 16deg "high" (remember, higher temperature also results in lower dissolved oxygen)

Okie dokie, will take that out as well, save me some $$$ on electricity

buffering is a MUST!

Got buffer lah, buffer with BS every water change.

just your sponge filter alone would be sufficient filtration
and position it evenly spaced apart

I will leave them as it is for a while till I move all of it ( + GFs ) to my 4ft tub.

Thanks for all the advise
