At first I got the wrong kind, I just got regular matrix, the pieces were too small and kept falling through the grid. I had to get the pond kind, this way the pieces were large enough to sit on the grid. I layered the on the bottom with some pieces of dry rock. Then put the bio balls on top of that. From what I’ve read the bio balls are not suppose to be submerged under water.

That’s just what someone had mentioned, some of mine are still under the water line, only because every time I put more water in the tank more water goes into the sump. I think I need to adjust the thing on the overflow box and try and move it up higher but of course the stupid thing fell off last night when I was messing with it..... so now I have to try and get it out of there.

Not getting any bites on my other thread so wondering if any of you guys had an opinion.
“Hey guys,
Before and while I was setting up my 110Gallon I started a small 10 gallon QT tank. Started 11/13/2020, hit it with Fluval Cycle Concentrated Biological Booster, per directions. 25 ML first day, 10 on the 2nd and 3rd, also did an additional 10ml dose on the 4th day which the directions say is okay.
Had high ammonia in the beginning around a 2+, no nitrates and no nitrites.
Check periodically through the beginning of the week no changes. On Thursday I noticed a drop in ammonia and a rise in the nitrites.
I was using a Fluval test kit; I though it was strange how fast it was cycleing so I went out and got a Red Sea test kit. Based on the pictures below of where I’m currently at. What do you think?“
