New tank help - Aquaculture and puffers
Hi All Its my daughters first birthday coming up and the wife is keen on a fish tank. Its been 6 years since I last had a tank and it seems a lot has changed. Looking at getting a standard glass tank 610 x 380 x 460 or 610 x 460 x 460 Wife wants to get Pufferfish that she saw in Hollywood Albany. Are these easy to look after and how many can you put in a 100L tank? What other fish are they suitable with? Im keen on growing plants so keen on getting a decent light setup. What are all these LED Light setups like? What are some recommendations for filters? For heater I like the look of the Fluval E 100Watt Other than that any suggestions?

i had some for about 3 months, well babies. tank got damaged by a soccer ball while i was away and they died- pH dropping to 6
********** PROBLEM SOLVED ************************ Thanks for the help guys. KH was my problem. Hollywood albany sold me some KH Booster Got my KH up and now my ph seems to be hang around 6.8- Water shut down: Anything to worry about???
Shut off you mains if possible. then when they turn it on, hold out for a bit and let the neighbours flush the pipes and take all the dirty stuff. Turn your hot water cylinder tap off if possible. Turn your bath and shower on and any taps around the place. Turn your mains back on. Everything should flush pretty quick- pH dropping to 6
ok, just went out and bought a kh/gh test kit so heres the results from my first test GH 60mg/L = soft KH Below 10 mg/L (oh dear) ????? so, this looks bad?? What should I do, i was in such a hurry in the shop i didnt ask any questions lol- pH dropping to 6
yeah, im not to worried its just that its always sat at 6.6 and now all of a sudden its 6.- pH dropping to 6
stocking seems to be fine. tap is around 7.5 have tested kh, should I be ?- pH dropping to 6
