Just following your advise………..(to an extreme?).
Now looking to chase my extreme hardness – GH 537 (!) ……..or, does it matter?.
Will look through your info.
Thanks again,
Eve

In reply to Eve ….. You are not only doing everything right, you are probably doing it better than anyone I’ve ever heard of with small tank. Way to go!!!!!

Can a 10 gallon tank EVER be balanced – or is it too small?
When you say “Clean the mechanical media in the filter once a week” ……I have Poret foam in a Tidal 35…….am I wringing it out?……..I never touch it.
I have gravel substrate, UGF, Tidal 35 and a homemade K1 micro moving bed.
Right now I’m running a UV sterilizer – there is no fish in the tank. When I have a Betta it is fed a small amount of high protein food once a day (with a day off). The tank is about a year old.
The water is crystal clear – but I still feel I am doing something wrong………or is 10 gallons just too small?
Thanks as ever,
Eve Taylor
