will do
-
currently i cant regulate my nutrients, as i have jbl aqua basis plus and it freely releases nutrients into the water. so i have to wait until it stops releasing so i can get an even amount of nutrients for the plants to absorb and have no exes for the algae
-
or have more plants
sam i see where your coming from but due to having lots of algae im going to get some otos and maybe a 5-10 max pleco at organisms on saturday
-
so if i ad some food into the tank and the ammonia goes up and then down again it has enough bacteria for fish
-
so i can start getting 4-5 fish when i go to organisms on saturday
-
what do you mean?
i thought it wasn't safe to put fish in at the start because the ammonia can still build up to dangerous levels
-
does anyone know about the cycling
-
to Anthony: its to warm for newts and has no lid
to Sam: i hope so because the hair grass was a spur of the moment buy and i didn't plan to have it at all so i hope it fills in nicely and fits in

sorry for not updating :roll: :facepalm:
i have been to lazy to take pics or post
so the news are:
the land plants are in the back
water is in
filter is running
aquatic plant are in and it has been running 3 weeks now
I'm unsure if it has cycled as the filter started running from Tuesday 25 of September. On Saturday 29 the plants went in
and i tested the water and there were 0 ppm ammonia. I then went to Auckland until next Tuesday and tested the water on Saturday 13 of October and had 0.30 ppm of ammonia.
I then tested again Monday and today with no ammonia.
What do you think? Is it cycled?
PS: i will post pics soon

I've tried that multiple times but the hoses just get lots of air stuck in them

hello,
im am setting up a roughly 120 liter tank and have a choice between 2 light hoods
one is a arcadia (so very good quality) T8 80W for $250
and the other is this http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/f ... 706044.htm
it is questionable in quality and there is one bit that is kind of weird *Individual power cords for each function
but the T5 one is half the price
any advice on which one to take would be greatly appreciated
thanks superico
PS: they both come with bulbs
-
