Re: my tanks (1)
First of all, get some substrate and more decorations pls.. Try to duplicate their natural living environment and not just fish and bare bottom just for easy maintenance sake.. With that tank size, I think U could get away with 30% wc weekly. Use the no3 reading as a guide. Your tank and filter are extremely clean..which sets me thinking if its a new tank that's uncycled.. Sorry in advance if i am wrong..

Re: my tanks (1)
If u are just running the tank with nothing in it even for a hundred years, I would say its still not cycled. Anyway I am just suggesting and if i am wrong, i do apologise. Your tank just looked ridiculously clean.

Re: my tanks (1)
T.K. here is a link that will explain how to cycling.

You cannot just put fish in a tank no matter how long it has been set up if empy.

Re: my tanks (1)
Have never used bio digest b4.. Best way to check now would be to test the water and see the numbers. Pls do not get us wrong, we are not trying to find fault. We just wish to make sure things are ok. There are many "myths" to get a tank ready for fish.. but, your tank still looked ridiculously clean..!

Re: my tanks (1)
Aside from the cycling issue, I just wanted to say that the tank and filter/sump are awesome. Makes my 150 gal/35 gal sump look kinda ghetto! lol.

Re: my tanks (1)
The shrimp is good for cycling. Don't waste any more of your $$$ on that product though. The fact that it is used for FW & SW, means it's crap. You can't keep FW & SW bacteria viable like that.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

no2=0
no3=12.5mg/l
Because not have decorations, so you will feel ridiculously clean?
Can i appreciate your fish tank?geronimo69 wrote:Aside from the cycling issue, I just wanted to say that the tank and filter/sump are awesome. Makes my 150 gal/35 gal sump look kinda ghetto! lol.

Re: my tanks (1)
No, its not because u have no decorations. It just looked, clean. Theres no sign of any dirt at all.. even at the filter, ceramic rings. Thats y it made me think that its a new setup. Since the tank is setup, u have any plans to put in the deco soon?

By the way ,my fahaka puffer stays in a corner, because the flow is too strong relationship?
635L Water motors:10000/H
Whether or not to reduce traffic?
Flow is too much effect on fahaka ?

Because he does not feel safe out in the open.
He needs a cave:
Here is what a decorated fahaka tank should look like (please ignore the disco gravel):
125 gallon
