Thanks for the reply. I was only thinking sponge filters because I already have some spare. However getting some decent bubble bars shouldn't be that difficult either. I have previously kept coldwater fish within a tank in a similar position and managed to keep temps below 20 except in the...

Hello, I am looking to set up a 49.1 gallon, 185ltr tank. length x width x height Inches — 69.69x12x13.78 cm — 177x30x35 approx I would like to make this into a nano fish river tank. I have a aow-16 from where this was a marine tank before to create some current for it. The tank will be with...

Yeah, that is fair enough. I've always leaned towards tiny fish which was why I looked at them before.

This tank will only do tiny fish. The apistos will be for either a 3ft I am setting up or the 6ft. Probably a pair of licorice gourami. I don't really want to do live bearers because I will need to add a lot to the RO to build it. And I do prefer the soft water fish. And this tank is soft to...

Yeah. I think it took me purchasing nearly 15 fish before I managed to get on female. Thanks for the reply.

Brilliant. That is good to know. Hopefully I could be able to locate a pair or trio if possible. Thanks for the reply.

I was doing the same thing. But once I started using RO water after about two year and a half of having fw and was sometimes looking at going every 8 months that is when my tap got really bad. Now when all the tanks in the household use RO we have fish that are actually 5+ years old and still...

The RO gives the capacity for me to make very soft all the way up to very hard, like my African tank. At the moment this tank is a bit of a blank slate, I could make it as soft or as hard as I want at this point while there is no current live stock. But softies are my favourites.

I couldn't run a sw tank using tap, old copper pipes so there is some copper in the tank which you really shouldn't have in a marine if you ever want shrimp or similar. And I will not run a fw tank using my tap either. I lost all my fw tanks previously because I used tap water, I don't want to...

I have previously kept a group before alongside trios of tiger Dario (in a different tank), and has no issues. Remineralising once you get the hang of it isn't that difficult when you make sure to mineralise the same amount each time to learn the amount needed (I used to do 25ltr barrels at a time)

My natural water comes out as hard as a rock, and with some traces of ammonia alongside nitrate already at 50ppm. If I used my normal water then I would not be able to keep fish. I also have the RO unit as I keep marine.

Alright, thank you for the replies. I do have some remineraliser if needed as well.

Total tank volume is around 35ltrs.

Hello, I am looking to change my current nano reef tank to a freshwater tank. I have previously kept freshwater and feel this sized tank would be better as a freshwater tank than salt. The inside display tank dimensions are roughly 35cmX27cmX30cm (length x width x height). 35x35x35cm...

And thanks for the bit on the firefish, that is interesting to know about as most say even pair might be pushing how many you can have.
