Looks great!!

Could I do any bottom feeders?

 

[Malawi MaD]

What bottom feeders where you thinking dude? I would personally go for a synodontis species.

 

[erikmoseley]

The mbuna won't let any food get to bottom or go u rate IME. I don't like Bolton feeders personally BUT I did see dwarf petricola cats and love them. Look at this vid (not mine) and you can see then come out. They're awesome. All other cats get too big for my liking.

Well for now I wanna know what all I could put without them being harrassed to death. I like the synos

Can someone tell me my ph?

Left is normal ph and right is high range

 

[Seryiouz]

I just went with the normal one when I did this...

 

[erikmoseley]

Looks exactly like mine tests. I'd say 7.8-8.0

Yeah that's on my planted tank! I haven't tested the 75g but that's normally how all my tanks come out here. I did set the filters up and the water is clearing up now. I'm starting my cycle! I'm gonna wait to put the seeded media until a week before I order fish!

Cool! It seems like its too blue to register on regular ph and it barely registers on high range. Off topic but here's a couple quick vids. And yes that is COPS on TV in background but I wasn't watching!

That's pretty cool! I saw that one in your video today being a bit mean! What's your stock in there?

 

[erikmoseley]

[jwh0818]

How is this? Can someone tell me these readings I always have a bit of trouble since I'm a bit color blind

 

[jwh0818]

This is what I think I'm reading

Exactly like in seeing. Long as your camera doesn't sway cor like my iPhone does. My pics of tank look pure blue and its not at all
