    CW Temp

    there is only one room in the house i can have it in so that my flat m8 dosent find out about it, the lights are never on un less i looking at him, ie less than a hour a day, spred over the day (depends if im working or not) the fan is goin 24/7 i keep the curtian closed so that no direct sunlight can get the tank, and at the other end of the window i leave that part open as thats the part that can open to let a breeze in. hyopefully this works

    CW Temp

    i cant realy put a 3L botle in my tank because its only a 2ft tank, and that would take up half the tank, i have a fan going on it 24/7 but its still at 23c is 23c ok for a koura?
  15. as soon as my next pay comes in ill get some more rocks to make more caves, i put a fake plant in there just to see what it is like, its good to see a little bit of colour so i may add more, im now looking for a canister filter to keep the water clean as the internal isnt realy that great, i will be adding some peat next week as well.

    how do you keep the temp down in a cold water tank, my is between 21 and 23 i have a fan going above it at all time, when i turn the fan off (for a test) it went up to 24, ive tryed ice to no luck, its a 54L tank so buying a chiller is over kill
  17. oh i just tested the tap water and it has a pH of 8 so thats why it is so high its good for my malawi tank tho lol there is now some driftwood in there to try and lower it, i will get some peat when i can afford it
  18. the light is only on for taking pics for a lid i have a mesh one held on by 2 glass lids the gravel it just small pices of schist so no buffer at all, more caves wil be added by the means of drift wood and more rocks i may even try a bit of java moss on the drift wood
  19. ok i need some drift wood from work like now arg
  20. YEKIES i just tested the pH and its 8 what should it be? im going to have to get some drift wood
  21. ok as promissed i have1st pics so now its time for all the ewws and arrs to start lol, btw the only realy i have a purple bulb is because it was the cheapest lol, i got the 10,000k cheaper than the 6,500k buld, so i gess now that i have that i could grow plants, dose java fern grow in clod water?
  22. will i be able to grow any plants in there for him? i dont realy have a light for him so that may not work, i do have a light hood on the atm but thts got a reptile tube in it as ive taken it out of my blue tounge tank while my blue tounge is away on holiday
  23. i will get pics sumtime to day, i juxt need to redo the look of the tank so i can see him to get a pic, i got a half round log for the tank and its to big so that will go into anther tank, and ill get some river stones to make some caves for him
