Hi all! My tank did a fishless cycle for about 1.5 months and I finally added fish yesterday once my parameters were good to go.
I have the Fluval Evo 13.5 Gallon Tank.
I have a question about the filter media…I‘ve been using the original filter media and sponge that came with the tank. I’ve heard that i should remove that and use the InTank Caddy instead. What filter media do you recommmend?
Do I keep any of the original media since the bacteria is growing there? I just don’t want to make any abrupt changes.
I was told to do a water change a week from when I put the fish in and to change the filter then but I wanted to confirm.
Also, when am I safe to start adding easy Maintanence corals? Do you recommend a protein skimmer? I’ve heard Nano tanks don’t need them and a water change is good enough but I’m open to anything that will help!
Thank you!
Sophia
