Thanks for that James.

I am intending to reposition my tank but the ideal place is adjacent to a West facing window and the side of the tank will receive sunlight in the afternoon. Is this a no no or could I get away with it?

I will be moving house soon and intend to move my 240 litre tank. Is it possible to move the tank and leave the substrate with water to cover, or will the weight stress the tank? How long will the bacteria be ok for in the filters if they are not running?

Only just seen this sanj, tanks are exquisite sanj - well done.

Excellent job - well done.

Stunning tank Tom. I would be interested to know how much CO2 it uses?

Can you suggest a supplier for the Parker Metering Valve?

Thanks Ollie

I have decided to discontinue using CO². Any tips for the transition would be welcome. I am using Akadama substrate, has anyone else been successful with the transition using Akadama? I have been doing weekly 50% water changes so should I stop this immediately or reduce the frequency gradually?

Interesting Dave. My LFS has replaced them for a different batch so will be interesting to see how they fare.

Anyone know if this species are sensitive to any particular water conditions? I added 3 recently and they all looked healthy but have all died within 5 days with no visible symptoms. 35 other fish in the tank with no problems so this is a bit of a mystery?

Yes absolutely, they are good for nothing unless they are retested which I dont think is viable.

Try calling fire protection companies who service Extinguishers and ask if they have any out of date cylinders.

Looking great sanj
