My tank!

I had a question about purigen. I just purchased a fluval 305 and it has 3 media baskets. 1 is the pads, 1 is the bio, and the other is carbon. Can I replace the carbon for the purigen or do I need to keep the carbon?

You can take out the carbon

What order should my baskets go in. Right now I have the pad on the bottom, biomax in the middle, and carbon on top.

Any number of reasons really. It usually means that the established amount of nitrifying bacteria is lagging in handling the added ammonia source. But it normalizes in a couple of days or so. If the fish aren't showing any signs of stress, I'd just let them be and observe. You could also add a dose of water conditioner like Prime or Safe to lower the ammonia and nitrite levels a bit.

I use Prime with all my water changes, have done since day one. Ill keep an eye on it, test tonight and see where its at.

Added some plants, cloudy cause I did a water change.
