Everything now gone subject to collection. Tank and cabinet will now be available in about 2 weeks. Will post a new ad under equipment with details.

Apistos, cardinals and clown loaches + all plants now gone. Still got the corys, siamese algae eaters and bristlenoses. Anyone interested before I take em to a shop?

Happy to trade fish for any frags/corals if there are any marine combi FW keepers out there? Or for any baby items (long shot lol)

Well a couple have had some faint black markings on them which I understand is normal for clown loaches? Were you meaning anything in particular? The apistos are fantastic. The female has just changed colouration. So they are probably ready to be bred. But they are really interesting even...

Plants now sold. All fish still available. Any interest at all?

BUMP

Too strong a current can be a problem but spray bars sort this. But thats not necessary filtration. thats flow. powerheads for example would give flow but no filtration alone. RO and DI aren't tank filtration. They are water preparations. Yes too much pure water would be deadly. It...

Yes to ammonia and nitrite of 0. Nitrates will be sky high (hence a final massive water change to remove these). PH is of no consequence and will be dependant on your source water. For example I doubt anybody around Kent where I am can get ph 7 water from their tap lol (more like liquid rock...

Are you planning to keep discus in this 30g tank? I think it might be a bit small. Except perhaps maybe for a mated pair or some little ones that will be moved onto a larger tank in 12mths? ANd you definitely can't filter too much. especially for discus :)

It depends on the size of your tank. WPG falls over in smaller or larger tanks.... For example I have an 80g tank with 150w over it, but its growing red ludwigia and many other red plants aboslutely great... with no co2 addition as well.

nope wrong one lol They had that out for ages, its just nitrazorb but slightly better. you want the BIO nitratex, let me see if I can dig up the same page for it.... yep here ya go... clicky linky lol The difference is the one you posted just absorbs upto 9000mg nitrate, this BIO one doesnt...

check the tap water nitrate. if your tap water nitrate is 50 (like mine is) your fighting a losing battle. Plants will do it, but your talking good lighting, co2 injection etc. Its a lifestyle not an easy change ;) Moderate planting will certainly help equal it out.... Another option... do...
