AndrewsPistol said:Waaaah! I hate waiting! Lol. Those 3D backgrounds r way cool! I don't see a problem with adding a bunch of fish at once as long as ur diligent with wc's. You will just have to keep a close eye on ur parameters. Definitely use some seeded material from an established tank, that will give a nice jump start on ur cycle.

Malawi Freak said:This way works great for seeding. If you have any ceramic rings in your community tank they will also be great for seeding.
Don-Lino said:Would It be better to add more ceramic rings into my external filter? I don't wanna take them out of there and make the community tank unstable, or was that what you meant?
Don-Lino said:Just ordered 25kg of holey rock for £50 :O, £50 for some rock, I must be crazy lol. I was gonna go for about 70-90 kg of rock all together, do yoi think that will be enough for my 405litre(107us gallons, I think) tank?
Gonna try get hold of some cichlid stones 2, they look cool!
Malawi Freak said:Yeah, that's what I meant.
Malawi Freak said:I think more would be better. You may only get a few good tunnels out of that amount. Go to a local stream or river. It's free and makes a nice afternoon adventure.
Don-Lino said:Really? Argh man lol looks like this rock is gonna get expensive, but aslong as the gf don't see the receipts I dont think i'll be murdered hahaha, I'm not sure where there are any local streams or rivers the only water I have round me is a canal and it's not the cleanest so not sure if I'd wanna use any rocks I get from there. How much rock do u think I'd need? 100-120kg?
