How do you adjust to 7?
Cesar, btw, what pH do you have yours at, the water in PTA is now at around 9, and my tanks over 8
Mine came in the week after yours, quite a bit smaller, disc size around 12cm
@MariaS, Wow! that's is a nice ray, got myself two pups recently:) hopefully they'll grow and colour up as nice as yours. I would also urge...
Suggestion: Please create some specific fish groups with sub groups e.g. Live bearers Guppies Mollies Swords Cichlids Angels Discus South...
Then your fish will have to survive in a high nitrate environment...
Generally speaking, sewerage is partially treated i.e. solids removed etc, and pumped back into rivers. In Cape Town sewerage is simply pumped...
Your waterchanges are too small, and too infrequent, you'll never get your nitrates to levels of around 10ppm to 20ppm no matter what filter...
My 2c worth....buy the biggest tank you can afford, buy the biggest canister filter you can afford, everything after that becomes easy....
A copper based algae killer or add salt, but limit the exposure plants don't like salt much, and no shrimp in the tank if using copper
Waterchanges remove nitrates and replenish minerals, I would imagine it would work for nitrates, not sure about mineral replenishment though...
No you'll be ok, I don't think you disagreed with FINS banning, I'm probably well on the way to get a klap
Moderators happened, last night this thread was completely removed. Clearly there is a serious disconnect between the definition of moderator vs...
I keep a couple of sponge filters running, they're cheap, super effective, you can keep them in your tank or sump, so you always have a cycled...
You don't need to transfer all your water, you can prime new water and get the parameters the same, temp & pH etc. as long as you use the same...
Good to see breeding on a large scale still happening in SA, especially with all the imports from Asia, these guys should be encouraged and supported
That sound right, a decrease in pH should be gradual and will be impacted by waterchanges, both the volume and pH of your tap water
Great @MariaS, challenge to the retailers and sponsors, how about it guys?
How about a R500 PET STOP GIFT VOUCHER for everybody that signed up to this group? :idea:
I'm in Waterkloof heights, pH of my tap water is around 8.5, a year or so ago it was around 7 to 7.5, maybe as a result of the drought we're...
