It's not the thermometer but good suggestion. Its a 85cm long, 40cm high, 25cm wide, would that make a difference? The heater is horizontal atm.
-
It finally switched off! Just now! Thermo reading 25C at the moment, might poly the sides.
-
The heater did make the thermometer read 26 and was switching on and off fine. But the water was cold at the bottom of the tank so I added a pump and now the heater cant keep up. The heater is only a week old too!

Don't see many brakish fish around, thanks for the pics. I was keen on some Bumblebee Gobies a while back but the plants and Betta won.
-
Thanks Livingart, I'll move it tomorrow. The 100w heater in my new 85L bare tank is having trouble. Set at 26 but only manages 23 and is constantly on. Any ideas on how to fix this?
-
They look a bit furry!

Tried to get some free plants down at the stream, introduced wierd worm/larave things. Evac'd occupants and tore down tank. Put it back together within a couple of hours. Here's what it looked like around midday: Any ideas on what I should stock (apart from little BN, Betta and Platy) and what other plants I should get? Running 2x Cool Daylight and 2x Cool White 18w tubes over it. Will add CO2 shortly, anyone know how to dose HaNs's PMDD? Thanks
-
My BN's laid eggs that sound similar to that. I'm guessing it's the Plec's

Thanks Zev! Mine works out to be 77 Watts, 5 more than what I have. I don't mind ripping out plants, I used to do it all the time, in fact, I quite enjoyed seeing my plants do well.
-
Nice! it really stands out doesn't it? Good luck
-
Im thinking my Polysperma, Bacopa and adding some Rotala and Ambulia. Hairgrass and Riccia, maybe HC if we have it here or Glosso. Some dwarf Sag too. I'm getting some PMDD off HaNs but that hasn't arrived yet, using JBL Fert Balls in the sand and I'll be running DIY CO2 through the filter. Sound okay?

Can't find any info on Watts per Litre so I had to use Watts per Gallon. My 54L tank works out to be 14.265290842413979067820198942795 Gallons (15 Gallons :lol: ) I'm going to run my 2x 6500k Cool Daylight and 2x 5000 and something Cool White tubes, both 18w over my 30cm tall aquarium. This works out to be 4.8 WPG with only 18w of intensity. What can I grow in this? Thanks

Tonic Salt is used for healing fish, if you want to increase the salinity then Marine Salt is the stuff you need. As jolliolli said, true FW Puffers don't need or want extra salt. They can't tolerate Ammonia or Nitrite and may be hard to wean off live (or once-live) food if they're not already on flakes. May need snails to keep teeth in check. So no, they aren't that hardy and I wouldn't recommend them for a Novice Aquarium Keeper.

I had done several water changes with no effect. It was getting worse and the best I could do was a tear down. Fish died yesterday R.I.P. The tank she was put in was fine as I had my male in there less than a week ago.
-
If the bird is anything like Tweety and the cat like Sylvester then that'll be fine. If not, ask them politely (at first) to ditch the cat or ditch the pad. Good Lucks

Has/does anyone ever use these with their Betta's/Fighter's or any other fish? http://www.aquarium.net.nz/cart_product ... itle=4-WAY BETTA CONTAINER Results? Recommendations? Thanks.
-
Was this for me ADodge? If so, the filter isn't that strong but is turned off now anyways, had a different one (HOB) in her other tank. Her side seems to have healed up, it's just her back and cadual fin I'm worrried about. Can I dose rock salt in her current tank? How do I measure rock salt? If not, my bad.
-
No... What, when, why, where and how?
-
...And just when I thought she was doing okay... She was in her net and all was fine. Then the tank didn't look so clear from the ends. So I moved everybody (everyfish) out to the different tanks. Most of them went to the 54L but she went to the 27L. She was all alone and then when I looked at her the next day... She looks like this: She's gotten fatter and obviously more damaged. There's nothing sharp in her tank. How did this happen??
-
I'm sorry to hear that.
-
Sir

Anyone know where I can buy these/similar(container planter)

How much did that set you back (cost)?
