a hippo at the moment at 300w ph, ouch) and able to run ...

I have a 20 gallon tank, cycling just fine, no ammonia or nitrItes,
hardness and nitrAte on the high side but not really bad. No real
plants. I have a filter rated for a 20 gallon tank, and change 5
gallons of water every two weeks more or less.

Other's experiences ? ....

I recently added some wild caught minnos to cycle a small tank.  I
decorated it with small hand made ceramic sculptures.  The sculptures
are now growing a reddish-brown slime.  I'm assuming this is from the
