From what I remember my tap water is 7.4 I do 2 20L water changes a week on my 200L tank would it be ok for the fish with the levels possibly dropping gradually? Or would I be better off trying to add other things to the water to keep it where it is after removing the rocks? My 50L sump will be...

I had a post recently about this but does anyone know if removing the oceon rock from my tank and using slate instead will this drop my Ph drastically? My tank Ph is 8.6 at the moment and I can't off hand remember my Ph from the tap but I'll try and find this out. Will removing it drop it enough...

Brilliant cheers I think the one I have is a 20litre I think the main tank is 190litre but I put one of the air stones from the big tank into it for agitation goes off at 11pm like. I'll watch the water surely a micro fish won't produce that much waste with any luck anyway :-) fingers crossed...

I shall get the small tank from the loft and monitor the water like a hawk :-) I will look and see about a filter :-) but if I leave the tank completely bare and monitor water will I get away without one for abit? It's a tiny tank but the baby is tiny :-) bless it it's sat in a small cup at the...
