That's more personal choice I don't keep any but the guys that do say it keep the poop from settling down
Do they like more water circulation/flow?
That's more personal choice I don't keep any but the guys that do say it keep the poop from settling down
That's the idea to keep the water flowing therefore preventing poop from settling at the bottom or around the rocks. Never tried it myself I just remove all the rocks as I clean my tank once a week
I am on the under 8 ph side. Usually about 7.8 maybe 7.6. I agree stable is more important. I used a 20 ln bag of aragonite (has same crushed coral effect) and the rest is pfs and it works great. Each weekly wc I add cichlid salt, small amount of cichlid buffer, and prime. I more so add the buffer because I always have and don't want ph to waver. Not sure what would happen if I stopped using it but I don't wanna risk it.
...any particular reason why you go w/that ph or is it just preference?
So salt it is and I will just rely on ny tap water since its in the 7.8-8.0 range and just acclimate them to it
Good to know you have a high ph from the tap, try and test the GH and KH too, if these are in the 10's+ you should get away with adding nothing at alll.
I don't have a test kit for those right now. I'll add that to my list of "hunny I need this too or the fish will die" so she HAS to get it what size heater should I go for on this?
haha good idea
It depends, i usually recommend having 2 incase 1 fails, but a single 250-300w will be more than enough for a 75G. The Hydor inline heaters are great to but it's all down to personal choice, there is a lot of brands to choose from.
What gph should you be aiming for you mean? Ideally a 5 times turnover of your aquarium volume per hour, especially if you are overstocked. I would go for 2 heaters, its always good to be safe
Plenty of filtration with the two AC's. I've not had first hand experience with the koralia nano 425, but going by reviews and posts in the past, they seem to be good.
Yes and its only 25.99 cost so far is this
x2 AC-110 - 159.98
Eheim jager heater 300w- 32.99
Koralia nano 425- 25.99
Master test kit & kh/gh- 25.98
If yall know cheaper places please do tell me. Everything is from marinedepot.com
The price for everything is not to bad huh Now to sweet talk you're other half!
IMO the ac's are worth it. I'm never own any other hob brand. I had the emperor 400 before and its no contest.
