:sick:
Hi all,
Me names Stu and I am new here as you can guess..
I live in the land down under (New Zealand) and haven't had a lot to do with planted tanks before...
I have been keeping fish for about 4 yrs now (160ltr tank with bristlenose cats, peppered cory's noen tretas..).
I have just setup my new 500ltr (1500mm x 600mm x 600mm tank, with a fulval 404, Eheim 2026 p2, 2 x ebo-jaber 300watt heaters, 1 x auqa first stainless steel 300watt heater, 2 x 200 jbl protemp under sub heaters, jbl auqabase dirt, a Eheim CO2 kit, 4 x Fluo fittings and a hell of a power bill......) and have a couple of qu's for you all.
In the tank i have put two big bit's of driftwood, one was soked for three days till the water was clear. The other was two big to fit in anything but the bath... and the wife wasn't to keen on me doing that, so i washed it down 12 times and put it in the tank......
Now i have fulled it and yes the water has gone yellow.....
so here goes..
will it hurt my fish? (brist noses, pepp cory's, neon's, elephant nose, dwarf gomei's, molly's...? not all at once, but added over a couple of month's)
I understand that the tannis maybe good for the fish.. what about the plants? ( i only have the two in there so far)....
will the tannis hurt the bug's in the filters?
:laugh: yea yea, you can all stop laughing now, just no one here seems to know, not even the lfs..
any help you can give would be great...
thanks all
