Welcome, I don't think you need RO water in Cape Town (or most other places) and carbon probably not needed in the HOB for a planted tank....
I've used normal fans without problems. Had them set up to suck air out of the hood.
@slayer has dibs on the gravel.
No problem, I'll PM my contact details.
i will have to go check tonight, but I think it is 3x 5kg bags.
It would probably be cheaper to buy the gravel in bloem Jaco. It is just normal gravel.
Unopened. Free to a good home :) North Riding area or Centurion during the week.
That is going to be great! The colour of the frame in the photo actually looks good.

Did you add most of the fish at the same time Pieter? Your tank may be going through another cycle because of the increased bio load. I hope you...
OK, I think letting the stick stand overnight will make a difference to the colour. Nitrites should be zero, if they are not your tank is not...
It might only be the photo, but the two squares on the right hand side of the stick should be almost pure white.
