    Yes API is one of the best test kits available. How is your tank and fish doing?

    Can you post a full tank shot for us:idea:

    Nice man that is awesome news leave everything alone now and let your tank do its own thing. Maybe test your water parameters once a week to make sure all is fine.

    Yeah you can add another SAE they are freaken awesome fish, I originally had 2 and then bought another 4 most of the time they are always together mean SAE cleaning crew:nuts:

    I have 10 SAE in my tank and they are like a herd of cows. The more you have the more efficient they seem to be. Just remember that these are not small fish growing 10cm plus...

    I opened my canister yesterday (because it leaked for some reason, i fixed that luckily) and noticed my matrix looks the same as it did a month ago,is this normal? Is the matrix really building bacteria? Am i supposed to see anything?

    Dude stop stressing :cheesy: matrix does not change color all the bacteria grows inside and on the matrix. Stop being paranoid dude :laugh: if they did not grow bacteria on them then all your fishes would have been dead by now:nuts:
