Thanks, now that they are bigger, the current isn't that much of an issue.

Thanks, before that was lots of bumps and bruises to get them right like now..There are many more local Altum keepers with much nicer set-ups..

BTW, what's your PH ?

The PH has been stable at around 4.5 to about 4.8 and I guess they are ok with it. The PH of the water doesn't really stay higher than 5.2 for a long period of time, only the initial few days when there has been a 20%-30% direct water change. How about your side?

How do u maintain the PH at such a low level? Do u add in PH minus solution or use peat moss?

I don't intentional keep the PH so low, I guess must be the amount of driftwood in there as well as the bioload of the tank..I have never tried any solution to bring down the PH before..Peat moss only the quarantine part in the beginning, not now anymore..
