Ive already got the 404 and the bioload isnt that big, Im only going to have 6 pencilfish or Hatchets Cardinal and Rummynose tetras(around 15 in total) 6 Discus 10 Cory 2 whiptails(small bio load) GBA pair (small ones) I think 50% is a bit overboard...Maybe 30% or 20% twice weekly? What do other people think?

I was thinking my 3foot twin t8 and twin 4ft t8 but will this not be enough? How much do twin 4ft t5 units go for?

Yea maybe sections with gravel,large rocks,drfitwood,sand etc. And plants.

Then how are they supposed to survive the frosts? The frogs hibernate and the tadpoles die?

But native shrimp,kokopu,WCMM could work

I think koura could rip the pond

When do the frogs start hibernating? We have a pond outside with frogs that like around our garden, And havent seen anyfrogs for a while but we have 200+ 1-2cm tadpoles at the moment, I thought it was the wrong time of the year?

No,Magicarp Splash attack is unbeatable.

I have another thread about this tank but it wasnt going to be a discus tank in that thread so i want to start a fresh thread. Im bidding on a 1200L x 520W x 500H And it looks like im going to win it (it ends tomorrow and i hope i do win it as its an ideal tank for what i want)but if i dont win it i will get inside oceans to make me one. Im going to have quite a bit of wood in there to keep the ph low. Im going to plant it out with: Amazon swords Dwarf Chain Swords Stargrass Hairgrass Bacopa Moneiri Maybe rotala And a few others. Fish: At the Top Pencilfish or Hatchets At the Middle Cardinal and Rummynose tetras 6 Discus Maybe a ram pair later on At the Bottom 10 Cory 2 whiptails GBA pair The only fish that will be in there for the first 3-4months will probably be the tetras,discus and catfish. So the questions are: 1.How much lighting will i need to Grow plants successfully? 2.Would plants grow well in a mix of Daltons Aquatic mix and daltons Propagating Sand? 3.Will a Fluval 404 1300lph be good enough to filter this tank? I will add pics as it gets setup. Cheers

for substrate, sand or small gravel would be good,if its not sharp. Filter, Sponge filters are best.

We had our pair in a 40cm cube, and they seemed happy enough, they spawned a few times,but we had a bad female that liked to eat eggs

Yea just a tank bred strain

too !!! lol :lol:

Are sixline wrass the snail eating ones?

What other kind of small fish are there that could go in one of these?

How much water do you think would need to be changed a week?

Clown Goby!!! Too bad they dont come in often

My brother and dad had a pic in the nz fishingmag once with these fish.

They like warmer deep water,and they are often found dead on beachs.

Could a firefish, or a goby of somesort and a shrimp be kept in here?

Brama brama are actually on most of these posters.
