Umm well for starters. Ill start with my setups:
2 gal. tank: Aeration. Thermostate: Some charales. (Chirostoma jordani)
2 gal. tank: Aeration. QT Tank
6 gal. tank: Undergravel Filter, Adjustable Thermostate, Plants: 6 Neon Tetra. 1 Chinese Algae Eater. 1 Cory.
10 gal. tank: Undergravel Filter, AquaClear cascade filter Mini, Adjustable thermostate, Top Lamp. 1 Chinese Algae Eater. 1 Cory, 7 Flame Tetra, 2 Blood Fin Tetra.
By now i've read tons of articles about thi nytrogen cycle. Overpopulating and stuff. Still, i have some questions yet to be answered.
How much time @ the QT would you consider?
Does the carbon that ussually comes with undergravel filters help clean yellowish/brownish water?
Do you know of any "scavenger" fish? I mean those wholl eat dead brine shrimp or recently dead fish?
Which kinda lighnitng should i get?
What brand of ammonia ates ad ites tests do you reccomend? (The newbie-stupid-proof one would be alright)
Which kind of decoration do you use? (Rocks, roots...)
Do you know any way of knowing the spanish name for plants and equipment? For fish ive goss google, but theres ussually no cientific name for plants to use on google. Also things like protein skimmer, bio spira and stuff. I've read wonderful things about them but i still dunno what they are... Lol.
Id also like to translate to metric system the thumb rule of "one inch of fish per gal of water" BTW, how does that work anyhow???
Thanxs
