Anasfire Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I like it a lot! Especially the wood. I've been looking into getting a nice piece of driftwood for a while now, I've got plenty of BN so they'd appreciate it I think but I've not been willing to fork out so much for it and there are no fresh water creeks near by (that I know of) to go find some for myself. I'll look awesome when the carpeting plants thicken up a little more Good Luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malicious_muz Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 lol thanks, i spent about 60 bucks on 2 driftwood pieces last time i was buying it, and didnt want to spend anymore on driftwood this time so i took the chainsaw to the old pieces i had a BN but i died for some odd reason, so this time i think ill save abit more and get a peppermint bn this time round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kojiro Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Take the fish out because Amazonia leaches alot of ammonia and may kill it. Is the filter already seeded? Do you have another seeded filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malicious_muz Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) yeh the fish are in a much smaller tank atm, i also got amazonia II without relising that my fish maynot be suitable for the new ph/softness of the water :/ my filters been running for about 2 weeks now so its semi seeded - also, does gardening fertiliser raise/lower the ph as well ? i need to bring the water to the lfs to check the nitrate lvl (as i dont have a tseting kit for that yet - not enough cash ) - hopefully the fish can be back in there by sunday i hope - their new tank isn't great and i keep having to do 50% water changes as this goldfish adds its own weight in waste to it!
