MTS MTS!!!!!! Below is a pic of my new 26g bow front. I still don't have room for my 72g BF that I have stored on the porch but I had room for this one!
I seeded it heavily with filter bio media, plants, gravel and 20g's of water all from my 155g. (I fed the tank a good bit of freeze dried
krill for two days) Two days after setting it up I added 2 Bloody Parrots (juvies not much bigger than a .25) and 2 Albino Cory Cats (tadpole size). I did 6 50% water changes within the 15 days. After adding the fish I had nitrites within 24 hours. I used Immune Plus - disease preventative and Nova Aqua stress reliever conditioners. I have well water so I don't have to worry about
chlorine) The tank cycled in exactly 15 days. 0
ammonia, 0 nitrites and below 10 nitrates. I want to say this, just because you may seed your tank does NOT mean you have an instant cycle. It WILL cut down on the amount of time that it takes to complete the cycle. (from 4-6 weeks down to 2 weeks possibily)
Filter - Aqua Clear 70 (300gph) LOVE IT! So much room for bio matter. I have it completely stuffed...floss, 3sponges, carbon, ceramic bio tubes. Too, I added the Aqua Clear
skimmer simply because it adds more oxygen into the water eliminating the need for an additional air pump. This freed an electrical socket as well. I added a pre-filter sponge to the intake on the skimmer adding more bio space as well.
I take pics the old fashion way with a 35mm Nikon so I'll have new pics of the complete set up soon. (and the new additions to my family)
Fish are thriving! I'm so HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for listening!
