Do I need to get the filter above the level of the pond to stop water siphoning out once I remove the lamp housing? Going to change the lamp on mine and want to make sure I don't empty the pond over the garden .

The tubing on my Oase doesn't go straight up and it's super quiet. I've tidied it up quite a bit now once I moved the shelf and previously had more links and bends in them.

I did order a fluval but exchanged it for the Oase, the inlet and outlet pipes were a bit higher so the lid didn't sit flush and would have need some modifications to the lid.

Easy to do in the end, suggestions used in the thread. Went for an oase biomaster therm in the end so heater wasn't in the tank.

So what's he suggest for Kents hard water ?

that's come up on my Facebook feed, nice stock list ?

Where's that then ?

Plants arrived this morning, excellent quality thanks.

Have a look at this , might be of some use ?

An excellent filter. This is worth a watch too.

the same could be said for most thermometers ?

Unless you buy a calibrated one you could buy anything cheap. Found this on a simple search but not bought myself https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07VCFFRNF/?tag=

I was considering the Fluval 307 but decided having the heater in the cannister was a better idea on a smaller tank. The prefilter is brilliant, I did my first clean this week and the internal sponges were pretty much spotless, so maintenance is going to be so much easier.

Just bought water.lettuce ?

I've just installed the Oase Biomaster therm, it's brilliant. didn't need to modify anything to get the pipework in as there were slots for the cables to the internal filter which I could use. If I had need to modify I would have made small modifications to the lid.

dont worry, lets move on

So long as your not colour blind ;)

Will.be exactly the same

It's a liquid test kit that gives you a colour, so it's subjective as to which colour you think is the pH.

Exactly what it says, somewhere between 7-8, without a pH meter the test kits can be open to interpretation.

Yes that's what the api test kit gave. I'll redo the test later but it's always wavered between 12 and 13 when I have done it. Both the fish stores I use locally have never raised any flags whenever I asked about suitability of tap water and certain fish I've bought. One of these is a maidenhead...

Your water hardness 302 mg/l CaCO₃ 21.13 English degrees or degrees clark 30.18 French degrees 16.90 German degrees 3.02 mmol/l 16.90 Grains per US gallon 21.13 Grains per British Gallon This means your water is classified as hard

pH 7-8, , KH 8, GH 13.

Only links I could find was in the thinkfish website, I've no idea how reputable the data is.

So should be ok with a group of sterbai (5/6) and I'm now thinking an acara may be ok , red breasted or flag.

Damn, need to rethink ?. Any suggestions ?

60cm

I did, picked up a group of 9. Does it matter which sex the ram I get is ? I've read the Bolivians are difficult to sex. Some of the rams in the tank seemed to have more colour than other, so would this be a factor ?

Yes confirmed the glowlight were Hengeli, had some nice Bolivians there too, starting to.colour up nicely. Hopefully have some in a few weeks time.

From what I remember the glowlight is what they called the hengeli. If I'm getting glowlight danio then the tank might be a bit samey so I might go for the purple harlequins instead.

Going in tomorrow to pick up the rasbora, they have Harlequins,Glowlight, Copper,Purple and Scissortail. Are the purples a variant of the harlequin ? Ive seen them before and they do look nice.

I was only considering Corys.
