    Nano Tor, Andyh's 35l

    Re: Nano Tor, Andyh's 35l (update 17/01/2011) The Dennerli are a stunning Cardinal....I think if you can keep them for over 4 wks then they should survive as the transit shock and poor water quality at the LFS tends to make the mortality rate considerable. Although getting the PH and water...

    Filter Recommendation for ADA Mini-m

    A river revived...

    As this is a low tech setup there is no C02 infusion at present although have good flow from the custom spray bar/ power head - sponge filter, as mosses at substrate level show flow movement...Some shrimp forums state to keep the flow in the tank to a minimum with just a bubble/sponge filter...

    Need some guru advise as to what liquid ferts I could use with shrimp(CRS), as I'm using a JBL nano ferrapol 24. All mosses, anubia's and Postemon species are fine but the Staurogyn P. has gone through it's melt and lost most of it's leaves. I thought it would recover but it looks like it's had...

    Update is that I've carried out yet another water change (75%) and tank is clearing nicely. I've added R/O water with added Malawi buffer and this brings my PH up to around 8.0 > 8.2. Nitrates, nitrites and Ammonia all around 0.0 ppm and TDS is around 180...so it's looking ok... Added some...

    A river revived...

    Hi Nick....Think either my edit wasn't clear or that you have mis-read my quotation. The challenge for me is keeping the smaller nano due to the difficulty of keeping water params perfect.. Totally understand that you bigger tank enthusiasts have an easier time regarding water balance. :lol:

    Hi Luke...Thx for the comments, always appreciated. The Wave Cubo is a 30 litre-ish tank. Great for a small colony of shrimp and selective shrimp breeding. They also do a slightly larger footprint (rectangle) 45cm tank which I'm recycling for a small group of CRS and nano fish setup. I'df...
