I'm also glad to hear the params are good in there. Just keep testing. I hope the green doesn't stain the silacone.
o.O I hope it doesn't stain the silicone either! That would look horrible!!
How is your Fahaka? Have you come across him getting sick @ all?

Ahhh NICE!! You got him @ an inch? How old is he now? and length.
They all seem to have that smile (It's the GIVE ME FOOD smile) I notice you have (silk or plastic) plants in your set-up. He doesn't tear them apart? Mine tore threw all of mine, thrashed them. I put big bamboo in now and he hasn't seemed to bother it yet.

Hehe you will always know if you are looking at PPs tank by that gravel.
Beautiful fahaka though! Love those smiles they do.

Isn't it colorful! =) Its ok, I bought nice dark red rock for my feeder tank... add water and light and its PINK!....
I'm still trying to figure out what to throw into my tank for substrate. I had white sand that was soaked in salt, which is all down the bathtub drain now.
I want black slate but no one around me carries it so I figure I will go for a drive outta the city to find some slate. Either crushed or a bit bigger. But I'll start a new thread for that.

Ummm... are you commenting on my horrible choice of colorful gravel?
I was hoping Filbert would see the bright colors & try to match them so he'd have those lovely maroon stripes many fahakas have. It didn't work... I'm now stuck with a 125g tank with horrid gravel--it's too much work to change it out.

I think secretly you chose that because it matches your furniture.
Nah I'm only kidding, It's not that bad.

LOL hahaha Imagine shoveling and siphoning out 4 bags of white sand out of your tank! NEVER again will I go with sand!!
I plugged the kitchen sink, almost plugged the bathtub! All in the meantime fugu is in a pot barely breathing and sick....
I was stressed already!! Trying to find a crescent wrench to unscrew the bottom plug on the horseshoe pipe under the sink. It was horrible!!
