hey guys.

hope everyone is well.

just thought i'd ask a random question. while i was out and about today i went into my local aquatics place as saw some biological filter aid. basically the back of the bottle said it would help break down waste etc does anyone alrwady use this or have you tried it? i was thinking of getting some but wanted to see what you all thought?  any one had decent results or any bad problems??

I have some kind of bio-filter booster myself, but now I ran out of it, and for some funny reason they don't have it anymore in the pet shop. But both of my tanks are cycled and ready, so I won't buy any more until I'll start preparing my new one
And yes, it's usually working pretty well for me, so you could always try it out! (:

ahh thanks guys. reason im asking is that i recently upgraded my tank to a 30gallon. but it just seems to be taking ages to clear, water looks like a cloud i cant see from one end of the tank to the other. never had this problem with my smaller tank so just wondered if there was anything i could do. i cant remember the name of the product but i'll look out for the ones mentioned here.  how long do you recon a tank takes to clear?

thanks for the answers

It works and I use it in my goldfish tank...

Actually, an undergravel filter is not to recommend... It's meant to create a suction in the tank that will draw the dirt and debris into the gravel, meaning that you'll have to clean it extra well. This filter will, btw, not deal with the waste in any way, it simply draws the bigger pieces of dirt down and lets it decay in your tank. It also disturbs the plants when pulling the water down through the roots, so if you keep live plants, that's another reason not to get this filter. It would be more suitable for a smaller tank where any other filter may not fit. It could also work as a secondary filter, if you have an internal power filter or similar as a primary one. Otherwise, I think you should really choose some other method of filtration

I used to add it with every water change C:

Hi Katie88

your tank is so beautiful with all them sweet and cute fishies in there. They just are adorable.
Enjoy your little mates.

No worries, Katie88,
