Thanx for reply mr nowhere, they're 30 watts each so I'll have 120 watts for 245 ltr tank...roughly 60g. Also tank is a aqua one 980t Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey guys...just setting up a new planted tank.Had cichlids for years & decided to try something new. I've done a bit of research & I'm going for a low tech tank,I've got good lighting (three 3 foot t8's grow lux globes)but no c02. Main question is can I use normal 3-5 mm black gravel as...

The tank is roughly 230 liters which is about 55g. To be honest I'll put anything as long as it carpets & looks good. It also has to work well with med lighting...not asking for much am I ??

Thanx for reply Yeah I think I'm keeping the standard light. I really wanna carpet the tank with dwarf hg,I was thinking of putting java moss on a peice of driftwood to make it look like a tree & some other hardy plants. Do u think that'll work & what's ur opinion on the tank?

G'day guys I just sold my 6ft Cichlid tank & I'm just about to buy a aqua one 980t to start a planted tank. I wanna know if I've chosen the right tank for this & if I can get away with just having a coral sand substrate. I'm leaving the tank as is...only adding a internal filter. Would this work?

I run a fx5, a 600l/h internal filter filled with matrix...I have a wave maker & I've attached 2 sponge filters to my air pump,my tank is a standard 6ft.

Hey all,just got back from lfs & I purchased a red Texas juvie,it's about 6cm but it's still grey in colour,I was warned by my friend that it was a fake & that red Texas juvies are born a reddish colour & should always be red no matter what size they were,is this true,did I buy a fake??

If you want the discus I think you should add it in,it would be the centerpiece of your tank & it would stand out. Also I would consider cardinal tetra's, they're my favorite tetra!

I recently went to buy a sunshine peacock from the lfs & my friend who I took with me thought the owner was feeding his fish hormones based food to improve the color of the fish. Is there a way to tell if a fish has been fed hormone based food!

I agree ob are very beautiful...I know they're not Malawi but I love black calvus & think they're a must have in any Cichlid tank

Cleaning the filter will help with the water looking a bit cloudy...but I'm still confused as to why my fish are dying!

How do I know if I'm over feeding them,I throw in 3 or 4 pinches of food & it's usually gone in 2-3 minutes!

I was feeding them veggie pellets but for the last month I've been feeding them nls 5 days a week,brine shrimp 1 day & tetra color or hei feng fast colour 1 day. Quiet the opposite,they alway come to the top when I'm around & always wanna eat!

The last fish I added were 2 gold head comps a day before fish started to die
