6.5-7.5 If the fish are used to the water, they will be fine. to naturally drop the PH use driftwood, and perhaps peat

Ammonia is still fairly high.

Plecos are scaleless? I thought that with their armor-plating they should be fine

I think its something to do with all scaleless fish - BGK, Clowns, Synos etc.

Thats what i"ll be doing. Using WCMMs until I'm able to get to the waitaks

The smell

For a 75L tank, a CF-1000 AquaOne should be sweet.

And, The decision is: Freshwater native. Prev. House owner had saltwater tanks, and the existing flatmate threatened to move out if I had saltwater tanks. In the meantime, i'll start saving for a full marine setup

$0.05 per worm, to a maximum of $5.00

*falls off chair laughing*

in rain, earthworms will either be very close to the surface, or very deep. To avoid being drowned.

Turn off all lights, reduce water flow in the tank. If you have any moss-type plants lying around, chuck them in there to help calm him down. Don't use salt as it screws with their eletrical direction finding. And remember to only 1/2 dose the tank! Replace his cave, and put a block of blodworm in there for him.

Perhaps do a huge waterchange, run the water out using a syphon, and have pre-heated water in a rubbish bin with a powerhead filter going into the tank? That way, it shouldn't reduce the actual amount of water in the tank.

thinkfish.co.uk is so lies I chucked my 3foot dual T8, 2foot dual T2 and small lights on to see what the lighting in the tank was like. NOT good. I need T5s

:oops: Yeah, it was kinda overstocked (very). I'll have alook around, and go from there

i'm not even at the stage of having bought tank yet rofl. Will be discussing rock & substrate soon today ^.^

I just don't like hard corals as much though, hence soft tank. How many MH lights & bulbs would I require for this? 1? 2? Or, would 2x double bulb T5s be enough? And I think i'll change the tank depth to 60cm. I could possibly have a sump, but it would be bloody tiny, and it would be virtually inaccessable

Eventually, 12cm at the moment

*Brussel Sprouts *Spinnach

And now! Tankmates! 10x Discus 7 x Clown Loaches 30+x Cardinals 1x Black Ghost Knife 1x Peacock Eel 1x Pantadon Butterfly 1x Sengal Birchir 4-6 GBAs 2x Hoplo Cats 1x Hemisynodontis 2x Chocolate Cats 6x Pearl Gourami Any others you think I should add? Too many? Remove?

kickass then

How much of that would I need for a 2.5 foot tank?

In those shots you can't see the alge that has over-ridden the tank

Its probably going to take me literally months to set it up

80cm long x 35cm wide x 50cm high 140L? Looking for "interesting" soft corals, clams, and anenomies. Also what kind of fish? Couple of clowns, cleaner shrimp, and a seahorse? Equipment, bearing in mind that I won't be able to run a sump on it? Reef Octopus HOB Skimmer?
