Re: Hi! New and confused
Tannins are generally beneficial to fish, I believe they have anti bacterial properties, also fish prefer the dim lighting that you get by default, it has the potential to lower Ph but you would need a lot, still personally I would not leave it to get to that stage, fish do not like swings in Ph, if...

Re: Staffylovers Rift Lake Tank(s)
fr499y yes! version 2 I think it is, thought it might be nice to try something different since I am not trying to grow any plants, it's a nice effect but not very powerful, I don't think it shows the colours on the fish very well, something I didn't consider, at least with the light evenings I can ...

Re: Staffylover's Two 200s (Pantanal/Catfish kingdom)
Recently managed to find some chunky black widow tetra, the largest of them are about the size of the palm of my hand, I never really appreciated they could get to this size, they are far more impressive when you see a group like that than the normal tiny ones, https://i.postimg.cc/9FKj2nkW/dapril6-...
