hey all
i am in the process of setting up my juwel rio 400 and would like some advice.
right to start im going to say what i have so far:
Dorset pea gravel as the substrate,small to medium sized,i bought 50kg,hope thats enough,lol
Fluval fx5 and maybe the internal juwel filter
Rena 300W heater
rena 600 air pump running 1 or 2 airstone's
a few coconut hideouts
some terracotta pots when i can find some
a few sydeco artificul plants around (i do plan to have some live plants aswell)
a load of mopani wood soaked and ready to go,andi mean 6 very big bits!!
my main worry is that i have only 1 piece of mopani in the holding my current tank. if i setup the new tank with all this mopani,will it drasticly reduce my ph?
if so,is this going to harm my fish?
is there anyway of getting around this?
finaly my 405 fluval is mature,if i remove all of the media and put it in my new fx5,would it be exactly the same?
