Hi Everyone from South East London.
The Aquarium addiction happened last year when my girlfriend asked me to baby sit her 6 zebra danios. I was that person that did 100% water changes with untreated tap water until a friend educated me “you cannot use tap water, you have no filter, the tank is too small, they will all die!”.
I cherish criticism. I have a soft spot for the wellbeing of animals. Progress has been made since.
Currently maintaining a 240 litre tropical fresh water aquarium.
Water Parameters are stable. Water temp 25c.
Water Changes varies from once a week to one a fortnight.
Water is prepped the night before and stored in two 25 litre plastic containers with API tap safe.
Planted with aquatic and terrestrial plants, community tank pushing the boundaries with the amount of species. Amano Shrimp, Black Phantom and Cardinal Tetra, Five banded barb, Giant Fan Shrimp, Glass Catfish, various Danios, Guppies, Kuhli Loaches, Assassin Snails and more. All live peacefully together.
All livestock eats better than me! Balanced diet of flakes, blanched veg, live food etc.
Running Fluval 407 and 107 on the large aquarium.
Running Sponge filter on the small aquarium.
Current Battles – Mild infestation of planaria and creating the ideal light profile for the aquatic plants. I’m using the Juwel Helialux spectrum 1200 with the control unit.
The small aquarium in the cabinet is an attempt to cultivate blackworms and various “pest” snails.
Look forward to interacting in the forums. This is by far the best forum I’ve discovered on the internet.
