Hi @Marco, I should have been more specific. It is not only the flowrate, but rather the flow velocity, which is important in mass transfer....
I am not sure. In fact it is a pretty darned good question, but one must remember that fish tanks are not simple systems, and there are many...
No, that is not correct. Very soft water, and especially demineralised water, is more prone to pH fluctuations. Since pfp and wood release tannic...
No problem! The pH of 4 indicates that the solution is acidic. To put it differently, the concentration of H+ is 10^-4 and OH- is 10^-10. Another...
Hi Guys, just perhaps a bit better explanation of what happens with ammonia in water. When ammonia dissolves in water, it does so physically...
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I would really have gone for at least 8 mm thick, maybe even 10, even with bracing and all. Man, I cannot even...
If you look at it this way: Your adult fish are that well conditioned that they feel like spawning. It shows you are taking really good care of...
Not that I am anything near a breeding expert, but have you been feeding the fry regularly enough? Once in the morning and once in the evening is...
I had MT snails once, didn't realise how many until I inadvertently nuked them with praziquantel. My whole tank went cloudy overnight. There were...
Try the above advice before rebooting. In time, the algae should be well under control. Stick to smaller more frequent water changes, not massive...
42. Oh, wait, that's the answer to another question. It's not about how many, but how much weight of fish you put in. That size tank can handle...
Around 150 liter? How deep? Anyway, as to choice of fish, there are many, but your tank's dimensions come into it. Do you want to go South...
@shakier: I would stay away from Discus at this stage, as they really prefer a larger tank. My tank is much the same size as yours, and much as I...
@ shakier: I think you will enjoy this project with your son immensely. You did not mention what kind of budget you have. If you want to keep it...
LOL, you got that right!
I think it will be okay with roots in the water, but it is a terrestrial plant, that would want the rhizome above water. So there is hardly any...
The one on the right is a Caladium, not an aquatic plant. It makes a fine pot plant for shady spots, though.
I suppose if a plant will last for six months submerged, after which it can be 'rehabilitated' for a few months and recycled, fair enough. But...
How much experience do you have? My approach with a new tank is to take it very slowly, one step at a time. I know some aquarists can scape and...
I think Mike is correct. That is not a true aquatic plant, and definitely not Anubias. Don't know if it is some kind of Dracaena. If you have...
Separate names with a comma.
