My Water Parameters

hehe, jip, that Tom, fish seem to be very happy

fifish, here are the pics of my HOB filters

o ja, sorry for taking over your thread shibby......(Vez feeling bad now)


this is the small one with the carbon, i replace the media every 4-6 weeks


this is my big one, running on ceramic rings and a few bio balls, will now add the rest of the ceramic rings in the back

this is the 3ft tank, and the fish in it

and this is what i did with the intake on the HOB filters,

 

Have to agree with Tom.

No dead fish - all eating - no signs of disease or gasping for oxygen then it is all good.

I've only ever had one test kit - used it once realized that it was pointless - a bit on the colour blind side - been keeping fish ever since. Observe the fish before and after feeding - smell the water - take action when needed. Have a semi regular WC schedule. Anticipate the impact of a change, always try and only change one thing at a time and observe the results.

Very good tips there @f-fish!

I'm not TOO worried about the hardness since it's not in the extremes, so as long as the pH gets stable all should be fine. I've ordered Seachem Neutral Regulator to get the pH back to normal. That should do the trick!

Of the 10 white cloud I initially had, only one remains and my JD is looking very healthy and much bigger than when I got him... coincidence? That being said, I realise that the danio will have to be removed at some point if they are to remain alive. @CharleyFXST has a 3ft that will be empty soon... ;-)
