Cat looks confused. Even it understands you dont crap where you eat. More interested in eating the loaches than busting a nard!

Its been about 10 days now. Plants are going ok. Fish look fine. Ive added a couple of bn too. The 6 neon tetras are still going strong... Getting a bit chilly for them with no heater though... I didnt really want to heat another tank, even a midgy little 60ltr.

Haha Thats What Happend When I Started Playing With Substrates For Plants  6 X 100W Heaters That Turned Into 9 With The Faulty Ones And 3 Trips From Home Later I Wonder What The Power Bills Going To Be At

[malawiman85]

Yeah :-( Turned all my heaters on last night.
Its gonna start hurting the wallet soon!
I need to line my garage but how the hell do you do that with a bloody great roller door in the way?
if I put up a stud wall in front of it the missus would shoot me before I had It finished. Maybe the tetras need to cohabitate with my cod. Then I dont need the extra heater.

I know that display fish can be more sensitive to their environment that fish used in AP, but seasol is a regular addition to most AP systems.

[malawiman85]

I have had tetras, platies, guppies, barra, murray cod, sleepy cod and b/n's in tanks that I have been using seasol in... Mind you they are not exactly sensitive or hard to keep fish.

Cherry shrimp safe too.

malawiman85... how are your plants going?

[malawiman85]

Everything in there outgrew the tub and has been added to bigger tanks.
I think it worked perfectly well. I will be chucking a bunch of cuttings in there soon to grow up. Ive also been using this setup as a quarantine tank for feeders lately

sounds great.

 

I have used the Kitty Litter mix from this thread in my pond. See how it goes.

[malawiman85]

I was amazed how quickly the water clears up. Went from very cloudy to crystal clear in an hour or two.
I saw your pond thread, good to see someone else giving it a go.

The other day I was moving few things in the pond. When I leaned on the gravel a bubble of gas was released from the kitty litter mix. puhhh.... I don't think I ever smelled something as bad...
