Sorted some of the Co2 out today
Got a RedSea regulator from AvidAquaria
My old broken regs solenoid with a bit of modification fits onto it perfectly
Bottle needs a refill
Now I need to sort out the pH controller and a reactor
Due to the Nautilus 2700 having such large pipes im going to be building my own Cerges style reactor our of PVC and poly, soon to come. Will them be sorting out the pipework and power under the tank, tidying up everything
Fungus..
A few days ago the Snakehead Gudgeon brought a nasty fungus into my tank. Above photo is how bad it got on him, however it cleared up with Furan 2 and Methylene Blue.
Unfortunately this fungus, as the Snakehead Gudgeon was in the display tank, spread to my Neosilurus Ater. This is what killed it, which im rather distraught about ☹️
The fungus appeared in the morning, dosed Methylene Blue and Furan 2 as I did with the Snakehead Gudgeon however I suspect the fungus took hold faster and easier due to being a scaleless fish. He died around 8pm the night after that morning.
My tank is currently blue due to the Methylene Blue - Going to leave it that way for a while before I do a waterchange, just to try keep the other fish from getting the fungus. Im a bit scared that I’m going to have a blue tinged background and sand.. sand wont be too bad but Im gonna be pissed if my backgrounds blue
Has diluted a bit and now has gone green
Now that I only have 2 fish in the display my tank looks rather empty.. saddening really since the Neo was the one constantly swimming around looking for food and digging around.
In simpler words I have another 35cm Neosilurus Ater lined up for when I’m sure the tanks come good and I’m trying to get two more smaller ones.. want a small group of them
No news on Bullrout
Thinking I may buy a Leichardti at some stage - how fitting - Most of the fish I have / will be getting are mid to bottom dwellers. Would be nice to have a toga cruising around the top
At the moment it looks as if the Furan and Methylene is doing its job - no more fungus and everyone seems happy
Fingers crossed it stays that way
