My Tank And Fish! Oh And A Quick Question : )

[oswoldy]

Hi,

I have finally got fish for the tank and the Ammonia/Nitrite levels are staying at 0! Wooohooooo!

Can you tell from this Video if my water current is too strong?

Great photos and tank looks nice as well. The current looks perfect in the tank. Enough to give some surface movement, but not too much that it's throwing the fish around everywhere lol. Looks great

The current is fine if you are trying to just take care of fish. If you decide to go with real plants, you won't want to run the air stone as well. The air stone moves at least as much water to the surface as the filter is doing.

So could I move the filter down and keep the airstone or do I need to get rid?

If you are going to do live plants, the air stone is not a good idea. The filter is disturbing the surface enough for very good air exchange but could be moved a little lower and still give enough surface movement for good oxygenation.
