Is this normal?
First topic message reminder :
I just happened to notice today, that my Aquaclear 500 had "muck" at the top of the filter mixed in with the bio-max.
I have the Aquaclear sponge at the bottom & then 2 bags of bio-max on top. Been running this way for a good month now & just seen the build up.
Is that normal?
I used to have 2 sponges and one biomax bag and had never seen any build up on the top sponge.
I have added a sheet of filter floss on top of the sponge to help out.

They are in a 30 gallon. And yes, we know the Koi will get too big for it. We will eventually find a home for it.

They sure can,@goldfishbetalover wrote:can goldfish live with fancies? I thought no but perhaps they can?!
The fantails will have to work a little harder to fight for the food in a crowd, but in small numbers they should be fine.
I have a fantail and an oranda in a 275gal tank with about 70 other single tail goldfish/Koi and the do fine.

I was going to say, when he gets to big for his current home ship him down to me
