Another tidy cabinet..... Where did you get the tray from?

Prime is your friend :) you won't go wrong with it!

Just top up straight from the tap - I must put around half a litre every day in mine (120litre tank) straight out the tap - I only use declorinator on a water change.

Think of it as a power head, I know the flow is not that much from it, but try to position it to enhance your current flow :)

Go for the Ehiem skim pal, you won't ever look back - it will have that surface clear in less than 2 minutes!

It sounds like you are very much on the right track, algae will take a little while to disappear.

Cheers for the info guys, I think I'm understanding this a bit more now :thumbup:

This maybe a silly question, but what should be the ideal TDS readings in a planted tank? If there is such a thing as a general good reading? My G6 indicates 906! My weekly water change is due tomorrow and I expect going from last weeks water change it will drop to around 730 ish. I'm a bit...

That's good to hear, hopefully all back on track now then :thumbup:

That should be nice and mature then, I'd just keep your eye on your fish and if in doubt do a water change... Hopefully though the tank water parameters will correct themselves and the water will start to clear.

How long has your filter been running on this tank? If it nice and established it should be ok and the cloudy water could well be a bacterial bloom.... Nothing to worry about then as it will clear in 24-48 hrs :thumbup:

Eco complete is great stuff.... Sounds like you have capped off your good bacteria that was on your old substrate. When I did a rescape I scopped up a few containers of old substrate, put in the new stuff, then tipped old over new for the bacteria to re-colonise again... Plenty of water changes...

If you go with plan B, use Seachem 'Prime' it last ages as you only need a tiny drop - a very good product! http://www.seachem.com/Products/product ... Prime.html
