Hi! Her shell has been fine for a while now, and she's active, eats well... Probably too much. I have a bad habit of "spoiling"my pets. Which isn't healthy for them, I'm doing better at it! I put in the newest filter yesterday, the tank is about half full, so 20 gallons? 22, 23... It was dirty this morning. Of course I'm starting over with everything new, theres no time for "beneficial bacteria" in this tank. I change water every day. Filter pads get blocked with sludge. I may have to run the new filter with the first one, that I just took out. (The second one is still in the box - the fill-up-the-tank one) I'm wasting money already, I need to wait before I try something else! But anything I can do in the meantime? Do those waste removers work? I bought Fluker's but I don't see any difference...
