My Fish Tank And It's Owners

[Unseen]

very nice upgrade of the fish tank. hope it cycles fast

as for a clearer water try checking the filter. also if the water is very yellow then it could either need a water change or maybe you have too much algae. got a pleco?

I think the sand just needs to settle, its alot clearer today.

It will cycle in abotu 1 day if you use BioZyme!! Around 3 dollars( E6) It comes in a little yellow container.

Just bought a 2kg bag of pea gravel for the other end, and another piece of mopani wood

mopani wood will be done at 6.45pm tonight, and the pea gravel i washed until the water was clear but mud bubbles still appeared and mud patches on the surface so I scooped most out using a jug and then put 1 new jug of hot water in there.

The filter will be able to sort out all the patches on the water surface right? if not how can I get rid of it?
don't suggest water change as that just makes it worse

I'll take a picture when the new mopani wood is in

well the bit on the bottom has abit pointing up and the bit in mid air has a hole so i put the pointed bit through the hole and then also to make it safe the bit in mid air has 2 bits sticking out, one of which i put through the hole in the rock which is also on substrate so it's not going anywhere, unless I have a real strong fish when i stock up.

which i wont

2kribs
7zebra danios
few otos
and a plec

 

[randallhart]

That's good
Good stocking too.

Just got back from the LFS/Garden Centre.
I got 5 plants and a terracotta plant pot.

Now I know what 3 of them are but I'm unsure about the other 2.

Ophiopogon gigantea

Alternanthera cardinalis

Anubias nana

Sorry about the cloudyness.

The plant pot isn't in yet. And won't be until I decide that I want my kribs to breed, when I have a pair.

All I need now is some nice substrate laying plant, that looks like grass in the forward left corner of the tank and I'm all done.

Hopefully go looking for that tomorrow, anybody got some suggestions for that type of plant?

Then once thats in I think a 50% water change is in good use to get rid of the kicked up muck and tinged water.

Thanks for looking and reading,
