So, im hopefully picking up the Wood for the bottom of the stand and moving the axolotls tomorrow, so should be setup by friday.

Question about the PH though,

How low could the PH be that will keep the Clown Panaque and possibly Albino BN happy?

I want to keep it low for the Cardinals, Hatchets and Pencilfish.

The waters still very green/murky/cloudy.

Have put a small 400lph filter in there, and has cleared up a littlebit, I think tomorow i will change 50L and seee what happens, I want to have the first fish in by Saturday :-?

Which brings me to the question, What fish first?

The fish that have to go in there are,

1 Apisto Borelli

8 Corys

11 pencilfish

6 2cm Dwarf flags

5 cardinals

Or i could use some Bettas, and plattys to start the cycle.

Also, i have a 2 foot tank, with 2 600lph internals that i was going to use to start the cycle, but the 2foot has Cyano algae, Would it transfer into the new tank?

Any answers will be appreciated :P

:lol: And theres still 4 more tropical tanks around the house :roll:

Also i just found one of the main filter connectors in the dog basket all chewed up, also the intake, so cant setup straight away.

I use a credit card or similar when cleaning the glass on my tank. If I notice any substrate/sand ect on my wood I use the credit card and "wave" it near by, so that the water current blow's it off?! (If you get what I mean??!!)

Seem's to work ok

Ok, so i finally got all the lights on, 4 x 4foot T8s = 36x4 = 144W of lighting.

But,,,,,,Stuff is still sticking to everything!

I have no idea what it is, but its stuck to everything,

Plants, Wood, stones, glass etc.

Any ideas on what it is?

There are now, 2 platy, 5 baby corys and 4 neons in there too
