it is really up to you, a back round mich make their cage feel closed in more, which they like. It will add a sense of security.

It might make them feel like they are in a bigger cage then they really are, so I would. =]

you stick a small air hose inside the tube specially insert it and then fill it with water… if u understand an overflow (this can be seen on my websites) than u will know an overflow box will only flow water and not filter it… only send water down the tube as it fills over the flow line.

Not all algae can be gotten rid of the same ways. What type of algae do you have? You can ID it with this link http://www.aquariumalgae.blogspot.com/. I have had just about every type of algae in my tanks, I know what works and what doesn’t. Never tried that product because you can’t get it here.

It won’t harm you if you stick your hand in the tank, only if you were to drink it. If you can identify the type of algae, or have pictures I can certainly be of more help.

And not all fish will eat certain types of algae. Some will eat one type, but others may not. Fish that are great for eating algae are siamese and chinese algae eaters, plecostomas, ameca splendens, otocinclus, snails, some types of shrimp, and many barbs.

Never tried it, your best bet for algae is just limit the light to 3 hours/day, clean the glass real good (with one of those magnetic glass scrubber things), and clean off any plants or ornaments in the tank with a buildup on it then change the water a few times….. But since you already put it in the tank see what happens in the next day or two

Comment on Is it ok to add an activated carbon pouch to my aquarium filter? by T

Yeah…no problem at all. Just add the activated carbon in the compartment where water flows through it. You can add it in a new tank setup or a seasoned aquarium. They will absorb chlorine, ammonia and stuff.
Remember, this doesn’t mean that you don’t have to add in any dechlorinator. You still need them, unless you got 1 whole full aquarium of carbon. Make sure you replace those activated carbon. Else, once it’s fully absorbs, it might release a lil out. It’s like a bottle when overflow. Oh ya, activated carbon removes foul smells from your aquarium water too…
