Re: DuzMano's Leddy 60XL 72l

Be very careful with getting stuff from the beach/shore. Most are now protected by law to stop people removing things that can act as a barrier, but, worst of all, they are usually covered in all sorts of nasties that freshwater fish won't like.

Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs

Don't get harlequins, they'll get too big for your tank. The dwarf emeralds would be much better. ;)
If you go for badis then get a trio - one male, two females. I'm not sure how they'd react to the bigger minnows though as they do stay pretty small, but lovely fish.

Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs

If you get bottom feeders then you don't want all the food gone in 10 seconds as none will get down to them (I keep guppies and panda corys together)!
A minute is a good guide, but you do want it gone quickly to stop the problems that Martin mentions.

Don't use grit if you're going to have bottom feeders, it will cut their mouths and barbels.

Re: Water levels

Welcome to the forum. :) Also agree with Martin. :) Water change if you see any ammonia or nitrite. Seachem Prime is a water conditioner that will help neutralize ammonia and nitrite to a point, use it with every water change anyway, it runs out the cheapest as you have to use so little. Get a syrin...

Re: Hi! New and confused

Water changes are the cheapest way to dilute the tannins, carbon does help a little but it's so much more expensive..... ;)

Re: Hi, new and in need of help!

Welcome to the forum. :) Racking sounds like the best way to go, but....how close to the radiator would a stand actually be, and can anything be re-sited to get it further away? Anything with drawers is out as it will upset the fish every time they are opened or closed, as well as the top bowing so ...
