Ok guys. Thanks for hanging round. A quick update. The place that this new tank is going to be placed currently houses my 15g planted. I have to move this tank but there is a slight issue. We are getting some fitted wardrobes in our bedroom in about 10 days. The chest of drawers I will be moving the 15g onto is in use until we get the new wardrobes. This makes the move impossible until the wardrobes happen. I told you it would be a slow build, slowest in AA's history....haha.
I really need the 15g to be put on the chest of drawers, as it has 5 drawers where I can put all my 'stuff'. The GF is really getting on my back about the state of the room and in fairness, she is right. It is a mess currently but as I say to her, "It will be beautiful when I get done, honey. You may even start to like the fish now". NO CHANCE!!!. I think she hates them even more now...lol.
Thanks to you guys who have stuck by, I know it's been boring lately but maybe you know now what I'm going through with waiting on people to get back to you on stuff, getting stands made, ordering substrate(that still hasn't arrived, 3wks later!!), trying to source plants and arranging their delivery between juggling all the above factors, mentioned above blah blah blah. Anyway, therapy session over for today.....
Got my Seachem Safe today. 1kg treats 200,000 gallons of water. I guess this stuff should last me a while...lol. It came from Australia, only ordered two weeks ago. Was expecting it to be about a month shipping, very impressive. Glut arrived on Tue. Ordered that the same day as the Safe, Glut came from US(Florida).
I was thinking of adding an Aquaclear 20 or 30 to this tank. I will be running the Fluval C4(already purchased). I know you never have too much filtration but is it a bit overkill??. I like extra filtration but I don't want a tornado either!!!.
Another question, my LFS has some plants that I have my eye on. Now they only get a plant delivery every 6wks or so and DON'T do special orders. Should I buy the two plants, Staurogyne Sp(US version=Hygrophila sp. 'Roraima') & Ludwigia sp 'Super Red' now and can I just leave them in my 15g until I'm ready??
