joe4444 I tried to email you but your ID is not working. I use two top fin 60's with just a filter pad and no carbon. Just clean the tank once a week with a 10-15% water change. My Nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and PH levels have stayed perfect. Also you can lower the PH with drift wood. Plants like a PH of 7.0. Make sure you siphon the gravel if you don't use solid fertilizer. fish avatar
