Sump. Increased water volume and increased filtration is a big plus over a canister filter for me. And the sump can act as a nursery for fry.
Im running a 3ft sump on a standard 4ft tank. I have 3 compartments. One for the water to enter through sponges, one for ceramic rings and my...
I have to disagree with the Serpae tetra. I have some with a Betta and they leave him alone. I have fry in the tank and they leave them alone as...
CO3 is carbon trioxide and is very unstable. First chance it gets it will degrade into CO2 and O2. Why would he do this? He would get the same...
Just to add to what the Prof is saying a mol = 6.02 x 10^23 molecules. So thats a lot of H+ ions
@KillerBunny: fish waste will actually neurtalize some of the H+ (NH3 excreted becomes NH4+) but besides this the fish waste will be negliable as...
Hi Marco I have no idea at what pH the water will stabilize. Maybe establish this experimentally. Just not in your tank.
@Firefly: Its not ion exchange. The coral gives up its ions and gets nothing in return. Also the coral does not have a pH. Solids cant have a pH...
@Marco By having a pH of lower than 7 the water is already an acid technically. An acid can be defined as anything that can donate a proton and...
Hi Marco The pH will stabilize eventually. As you probably know pH is the -log[H+] concentration. The higher the conentration of H+ the lower...
So 3 out of my 4 Borelli fry escaped their breeding net and are now in the 4ft tank although all 3 seem okay and nothing seems interested in...
The last one I had did was a 4ft. It came to R350 but I also had the bottom pane of glass replaced as I cracked it while trying to get my sump...
The ones that I have resealed I took to a LFS and picked up a week later. How they do it I dont know. Taking the whole tank apart seems like a...
It is a good idea to reseal a tank when the chance arises. I had the tank for 6 years. I have no idea how long the person before me had it (it was...
I had a 3 ft which I had for about 6 years. One Saturday night (or sunday morning) my dog woke me up to go out. So I went down stairs and stepped...
I dumped 100L on my wooden floors in my lounge. Now I am getting a fish room in my next house. Cant wait. But its years away
Its very possible. I had owned the 3ft for about 6 years when I had gotten it 2nd hand and I had seen it in the persons house for about 2 years...
Shame it was probably starving
I am going to go with female although in not sure. It looks like there may be a bit of pink on the stomach. When the female is ready to breed this...
What are you feeding them? Some fish will spawn by just being in the tank together and having a cave. Some need a little convincing. Try hatching...
