Hello sharkie and welcome. If this is your first tank, make sure you get to know the nitrogen cycle in the beginners section immediately. Otherwise the honeymoon is going to turn into a nightmare very soon! And those water changes. Do them daily till your tank is cycled. Luckily your fish all seems hardy, except that elephant nose. Oh yes sharkie, please indicate on your profile where you from. It gives members a better understanding of your water quality and to give advice when required.
New guy. Sorry still new at this, I'm from East London. Can any of you recomend a good testing Kit that test all the important chemical elements for the tank, and what prices I'm looking at? Reading up as much as possible on tank conditions and fish requirements. Thanks for the warm welcome.
sharkie, here is a link to read on test kits. http://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/showthread.php?7210-What-test-kits-are-you-using
HI AND WELCOME! Sorry about all caps but I so glad we (East Londoners) are making a move! Oh and enjoy the site!
Only for the first few weeks .. then you get the second tank and you dived the time equally between both of them and only spend 3 hours per tank .. after a few months and several tanks you start looking for that ideal work from home job, move you blanket and couch next to the biggest tank. But this is all OK you should be worried when ... arty: Welcome :bigsmile:
