  1. Adrienne, have you considered breeding the dragon genes into the giant? Might be a bit of work getting a giant strain and then adding dragon blood into it, but the results could be well worth it. I'm pretty sure I have seen dragon giants overseas, so it's not unheard of, only in NZ lol.
  2. omg, I'm terrible at this. I'm trying to think of what the phrase could be but my mind keeps popping up with swear phrases! :facepalm: Edit: GOT IT! When the s*poop* hits the fan.. S W O the R
  3. Just curious - how much lighter is acrylic than glass? I suppose if acrylic was clearer and easier to transport than glass for a fraction more, it would be more popular than glass tanks. But $14k is just stupid, you could buy a couple of high end aros for the price of the tank alone!
  4. I suppose any fine filter wool cut to size should do. I don't know what your filter design looks like so I can't give you specifics lol.
  5. More bang for our buck, would you say? :gigl:
  6. It might be a case of the substrate dust being recirculated in the water.. Try putting the pads you took out back in and leave it for tonight - if it is dust most of it should clear by the morning. I don't think your fish will be too affected by the cloudy water as long as your water is good, it's more unsightly than anything.
  7. OK, I'll keep it simple and bullet-point it for you lol. 1. Take out the carbon - leaving it in won't help and you don't need it anyway. 2. Put the wool IN - the substrate is meant to catch the dirt particles but it won't catch smaller particles that wool can, I highly doubt if it will affect your filter's performance (maybe someone can confirm this?) 3. Continue light feeding and do a 20-30% WEEKLY water change, keep checking your water quality in case the ammonia spikes, in which case, stop feeding. Possibilities: 1. If it's dust from the substrate in your filter, the wool will trap most of it for you. 2. If you crashed your bacterial colony (hope you didn't!), then the bacteria is dying and re-growing repeatedly (tank cycling back to square one). Small daily water changes will get rid of the ammonia which is good for the short term, but ultimately you want to get the bacteria up and running again, so just do a weekly water change so that the bacteria can develop. Minimising the feeding when your ammonia spike is getting dangerous will be better for your fish - they are fine without daily feeding. Question: 1. What kind of fish do you have? How many?
