The cube!

Gona be doing excel spot dosing see if it goes away! I never struggled with algar before. Guess its a perk of a new tank

 

Try and get some SAE's, as they wil control the algae, and once your tank is clean, try and run a UV filter to kill the spores in the tank, that should kill the new spread, and the SAE's will handle the current ones!

I used that, and im BBA free!

 

@Vez - Does the UV filter affect fish and plants? What type of UV filter did you use?

 

nope, non at all, it helps to get the water crystal clear!

i got one from a lps, 600l/h and it cost R550, some China Make, not sure, my Chinese is poor, lol

 

The one "man" looks like he is dancing, the other looks like he is waving his hands in the air lol

 

Thanx @Vez. I asked my lfs for SEA. He says the suplier doesnt know what it is? He says he can only get the saimese flying fox? I looked at them in the shop they dont look like his flying foxes in the tAnk next to them. They have 2 or 4 barbels under their mouths and the striping isnt the same as the flyibg fox. Will ottos also help or not? Im looking to get a cannister. So maybe one with uv light

 

With the SAE's, they are named iin LFS as Flying Foxes, all my SAE's i got was called Flying Foxes, so try and get a pic of a True SAE and a True FF on your phone, and when you are at any LFS, and they do you, you willl be able to see the diff! Nope, Ottos dont chow BBA, only SAE's, a few types of fish, and some Shrimps, like the Amano Shrimp, but the SAE is the Best!

 

Okay. They look like SEA but i dont want the false one. I had flying foxes before on they dont look like those so then i wil get them! They arent jumpers? Open top tank. Wil get a pic and lool at them. Wil get 5 then. Its a pitty i love ottos

 

a pic of my SAE:

 

Its exactly them

 

cool then go gget some SAE's boet!

As for them jumping, i never had any jumpers, until 2 weeks back, when i did a WC, and i did not use enough dechlor, and they did not like the "bad" water, and jumped out, and thats why i started prepping my water for 4 days before WC day

 

My lfs is awesome. I get my prepped water from him. Out of his jojo tank

 

@Ryno - I just did a search for that thread awhile back - http://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/s...lying-fox-SAE-Enigma&highlight=siamese+flying

 

Thats lekker, i got a 120 drum and i make my own! lol

 

I want to get a 250L

 

This is only a 150L, but its still nice:

I need 250L because i want to treat water for my 450L anf 320L at the same time. A 260L jojo drum is 500 so thats to much in my eye

 

Thats not bad, i paid R150 for a 120L big jim bin, so thats not bad!

 

Then i need a big pump and my RO unit! Next year i will get them. Would my my waterchanges easier. Hehe

 

Don't you have an auction house nearby? They sometimes sell large Jojo drums for really cheap. They are usually pre-owned so be sure to check them out first.
