My tank actual dimension is the same as those of nano cube 24G but from BOYU.
Filtration system is built in Overflow . Cooled by 2 BOYU fan which is able to bring down the temp to abt 27 Degress but the downside is u have to top up water. Light is on from 1800 to 0200 CO2 system is of CO2 tank and CO2 reactor, 1BPS When can i add fish or shrimp to the tank??? The uncle from Y618 was saying need at least 2 weeks.... What are the recommended live stock to add??? Was thinking of adding shrimp to tank also... Will the fish attack the shrimp??? |

u want can add some feeder patty to ur tank so that the tank can build up bacteria faster...
as patty don't cost much... they die not heart pain anyway also can test water parameter... another way is to introduce shrimps like yamato,malayan into the tank 2 feed on algea that will grow cause by new tank... let them cycle for 2 to 3 weeks.. seems ok for shrimp then it will be fine for fishes... either way.. it takes time and paitent.. don't dose fert in 1st to 3rd week too |

Now the water of the tank is very clear.
So i will just wait for another week to add in the live stock. Will adding beneficial bacteria speed up the process?? Any recommendation of a good brand??? Any recommendation of the type and numbers of livestocks to add??? Was thinking of shrimps and fish tank but am afraid that certain species may be not compatible to one another. |
