I’ve been running a few tanks for a few years now Scaped and re-scaped Co2 in a couple of them and all have , after usual initial start up problems , been relatively successful. I’ve overcome pretty much every Algae issue possible and did so with a grin and feeling of satisfaction and superiority that only comes from standing over a vanquished enemy. My wife thinks I’ve lost plot !
So the last few years of keeping aquariums/ aquascapes have been a challenge and journey I have really enjoyed and the weekly maintenance of my tanks has now become my “ME TIME” where I get to switch off from everything else .
But now I want to have a go at running a Caridina/ Bee shrimp only tank .
So this is going to be my next challenge.
The problem I have is I would have to purchase RO water .
So I’m hoping to get some help here .
Set up
Superfish Scaper 90ltr
60x40x40
Co2
Oase biomaster 350
Will go for a Nature style with carpet of MC
Spider wood
Dragon Stone
Fern
Crypts
Stems
MC
Basically ripping off [mention]Iain Sutherland [/mention] Taiwan Bee Not So Nano .
Which still blows my mind
Questions :
Can I run the tank from start up with tap water until cycled . Then drain down and refill with RO water ?
Can I just use tap water but leave for 24hrs + for top ups / 20% water change
Any and all advice will be much appreciated
Cheers
