I am contemplating using this product to reduce nitrates in an aquarium. It is a 180 gallon fish only tank (only an arowana and a pleco), but I really don't want (and cannot due to the tank design) fit a mechanical denitrinator to the tank). I do partial 20% water changes every week and the nitrates are still getting up there(plus I monitor the feeding and remove any excess food not eaten). If you used this product what were the results? How affective was it or isn't? Did you measure the nitrates ppm reduction? How much was it reduced by?

In the ten gallon are five barbs, two danios, three black neon tetras, plecostomus and snail.(The pleco will be moved in three month to bigger tank of course).

There are bubbles in my freshwater tropical fish tank. They're around the top of the ring of water. I have 3 fish, and they're all diffrent kinds. And i've looked at them, and they do NOT look like eggs. Could just be air bubbles? Or are they somthing to worry about? thank you.

Im cleaning my betta fish tank and I'm also using new gravel. I have soaked this gravel for about 10 minutes in hot water as well as strained it about 10 times with hot water. Even after doing all this I put it in the tank to be used and add water, dust from the gravel still rises to the top of the tank. I dont want the fish to eat rock chips so what should I do and does this dust even hurt the fish?

I have a 10 gallon tank which has
1) Fresh water at room temperature with no chlorine because it is well water
2)water conditioning kit
3) aquarium salt for fresh water fish
4) a function filter
5) clean gravel from the store
6) I feed them everymorning a pinch of goldfish flackes ( like the fish man told me to)
* I got 6 goldfish from Petco. The fish man instructed me to float the bag in the water for 15 min before adding them to my water, and he also told me not to add his water to my tank, and that's what i did. I don't bug them or anything, I just watch them relax and swim around. But for some reason my goldfish keep dying on me. What's the problem?
