Do you mean seatech prime? Or seatech stability? If you are only reading nitrates that means the bacteria are doing their job. You can remove them with water changes or setup a big pothos nitrate scrubber I mentioned to you a while ago. You could also put some pothos (just the roots) into the water to help with the nitrates. I think fake floating plants might be best for your situation right now.

Still cool, seen a lot of lotus and such last time I visited Florida, would be perfect for a self filtering pondCorrection, I have water lettuce but hyacinth is also very common.
Yeah I was just looking into some flood lamps that I saw on one of the DIY videos, and they are cheap.
I am planning on adding a Red Tail Cat Fish, and yeah I know they grow huge lol, but by then I should have build another aquarium much bigger to house them.
Yeah I know but you wont believe how hard they were to find here in Kentucky lol
I love that look, I am definitely going to see where and when I can get them and add them, your set up looks amazing.
Get rid of one? no way, I will just have to buy another one lol, I have to say that today I seen them doing much better, I know from one day to another might not be much of a change but they look like they are getting along. as for the eye issue that I mentioned I think the Aro just grazed the new driftwood and got some white algae on her eye. I have some of growing and I have read online is common and not to worry about it, I will be cleaning it this weekend unless you guys tell me that I should do so sooner and it might be dangerous to the fishes.
Do the fake floating plants do anything for the aquarium? or you mean to calm the Aros down?
I want to thank you all for the support and the fast replys, you guys are a great help and I hope to eventually be able to add some knowledge to this forum and help someone as you all have helped me.
for my experience with best way to keep 2 aro together is need to be either:
- same size when they are already bigger at least 16"
- or 1 bigger aro + 1 smaller aro but big enough so it won't be eaten (try one 12" & the other 7")
- adding other fish will keep aggression down but if u only want to keep 2 aro it's tough, hope try these see if it works better.
I just asked petzone for 1 Lei 10" + 1 Jar 7" to keep in same tank, i wanted to add black aro but will start w/these 2 for now. Last 2 aro i had together were 2 jar & it did ok when 1 of them was at least2x size.
good luck + if i had that size tank w/that that size aro maybe just add more and take the one out that isn't working well
