looks good, what size tank is that. My guess is a 5 gallon?

 

[hives]

its a 10g, that pic makes it look small for some reason ;o
any ideas on a nice set of non aggresive fish to get to stock it when its ready?.. fairly hardy aswell seen athough im new to this, preff with neons tetras in baring in mind my frogs though! thnx

I think the heater makes it look small. Is the tank cycled already? If not the some Zebra danios are very hardy and VERY active little fish. Also you might want to get some swordtails or mollies. they seem to be a great beginner fish. hope this helps

 

[hives]

just trying to get my ph down now, its at 8.5 no2 is at 0

8.2 is that just from tap water? Also a thing you should know is that the chemicals to lower/raise PH will make you more trouble then good. They will promote algae growth.

It is looking much better Hives! I like the bogwood.

CTS, Mollies and Swordtails get too big for a 10 gallon. The only Livebearers I would put in there would be Endler, Platies, or Guppies. Same with Zebra Danios, they like schools, and since they are such active fish, they really need more then 10 gallons.

Hives, if your pH is that high normally, you can try to find some fish you like that like higher pH. Sometimes that is easier then trying to bring it down.

Wow, it looks so much better with that bogwood, the rocks work really nice with it.. Maybe if you got a tall plant you could cover your heater up.
