Why does my tank smell soooo bad???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
and 1 more question... where can I find a media bag?? there is plenty of space where my cartridges are (under the cartridge itself) to put a mdeia bag
 
As some one else mentioned, anaerobic bacteria can build up in pockets in the sand. If at any time while you were sifting through the sand you saw bubbles float to the top, that's it. However being that you sift it weekly (?) and there's barely a half inch, I wouldn't think that's it. Just thought I'd throw that out there..

i use pantyhose or paint strainer bags for media. about 10X cheaper and just as good as LFS media bags.

alright, I will have to try that, would about 4 0z. of carbon be ok in each side of the filter???

should I do that to all three of my filters??

and also, off topic but could you tell me if i should get this for my 55G??

The stock will be 2 EBJD... if they turn out to be males ond non tolerant of each other then only 1 will stay...

check it out and tell me if it would be a nice addition, I have a slate BG on the tank (real rock siliconed on there)

I just thought it might look better with the wood.

I want the tank to look like a real habitat for the fish so any other suggestions on decor for the 55 will be gladly accepted
it is malaysian driftwood...
