    How much CO2 would you reckon we would need for the 2m?

    2 cannisters like mine. R 150 for diffuser + 1 cannister. Refills thereafter costs about R 50 each. One cannister should last between 45 to 60 days.

    Dale, if they start to uproot your plants, then let's breed them!

    UPDATE TIME

    This tank is still standing here...patiently waiting for Gert to collect :driver:

    I had a half metre C.Cornuta growing in here and I took it out yesterday.

    Added more firemouths (now total of 6)
    Got 9 koi angels from Jason (now total of 6)
    Added some plants
    Added clay pots just incase they're doing some family planning

    This tank is actually just a 'dumping ground' for my other tanks' plants, fish, or whatever....I don't really care what this tank looks like.

    Firemouths are about 10cm + in size (except for 1 / 2)
    Angels grew at a rapid pace and are quite big already

    I treat them to about 30 or so white clouds once per month

    Thanks Donny, I don't really like angels that much....they are just here because I'm keeping them for Gert.

    Hey Gareth, no CO2 in this tank....CO2 is in the other 1.2m tank that I have. I use a very basic and simple CO2 kit....the Tetra Complete CO2 kit. It's cheap and it works fine.
