Hi everyone,
lots going on in this thread now! I haven't had a chance to use my computer for a few days.
The fish have been added successfully.
There are 10 of them and they are quite small so I am looking forward to watching them grow!
I went down and got a testing kit and the ammonia is okay for now, the ph was a bit high though.... well it was showing 7.8 and I think it is better to be around 7?
I have also been doing 20% water changes each day so hopefully that will help keep the ammonia down.
The white gunky stuff was growing on the plastic part of the heater as well but since the fish have gone in it has started to calm down. They were picking at it and then it was getting sucked into the filter so I have been taking any chunky bits out and also vacuuming during water changes.
Oh and also I got some ph down to try and adjust it a bit.
