I have a 5x2x2 tank and have the following in fish inhabiting the tank:
6 x 5inch discus
1 x 4inch discus
6 x 3inch discus
5 x 6cm tall altum angels
4 x corys
25-30 x neons/cardina
6 x fighters
1 x kissing gourami (im trying to move this fish into my quarantine tank but i cant seem to catch it so i guess its staying for the time being)
I know my tank is grossly overcrowded or will be grossly overcrowded in the future but i cant get myself to sell my discus cause i love them all.
My filtration should be able to cope with this load however im concerned about getting rid of the nitrates and phosphates. i was thinking of dedicating a cannister just for getting rid of these two compounds. My idea is to stuff this cannister with say 5 pouches of nitrazorb and maybe 2 pouches of phoszorb and some carbon. I will still do bi/tri weekly water changes. what do you guys think of this idea?
