Alright sweet. I think I'll go ahead and run the ac 110 for a while to get the suspended stuff out. I should probably run the power head also?

Got my ac 110 running stuffed full of filter floss from Walmart. Also got my power head running. The water is turning real clear fast!!

Looks fantastic! I'd start the cycle

I will go ahead and add the ammonia. The ammonia calculator says to put about 15ml in. I can use the media from my other tank to speed it up big time.

Feels great! Took way too long to get here but hopefully will go smoothly till I get fish in there!

Why's the ph at with the background in there?

I will be doing all the testing tonight and hopefully get my canister set up and my ac110 the way I want it.

Ok cool! That should have said what's not why.

The concrete should raise the ph some. That's why I asked

I'll test tonight and post the results. I can change the water in and out a few times if its too high. But would be the best for my stock?

Your ph will be fine as long as it's steady between 7.6-8.2

This place lists all the fish you want. Someone else ordered from them and shipping was a little much but they threw in extra fish of each one she ordered. That right there made it worth it.

It's going to be hard to find somplace that has all of them other wise

Alright sweet! Does the sex of the fish matter that much with that stock?

 

[rlstoll]

When looking on that site. I don't see the exact names I have listed? Maybe they go by other names? And I assuming I should go with the small of each. A lot cheaper that way.
