I started malawi with 1.6 ft then to 3ft so far ok untill
I got into tanga. My opinion for you is to keep max at 25 to 30 depends on size, decide what you want to keep. Filtration must be overpower, what are you using currently? https://www.facebook.com/africancichlidssg/ |

NH3 0ppm NO2 0 ppm NO3 between 40~80ppm For filtration, I'm running: 1. Dophin C-1000 canister that is giving out 1650L/hr (on paper) with 3 trays of media (Biohome Plus media, Ceramic Rings and Sponge). This came as a set when I purchased this tank. 2. Powerhead with Biohome Plus media and sponge on the right side of the tank. This is mainly to push the water to the canister intake on the left. 3. Trying out the K1 media as well. Can't tell if it's working well or not at the moment as the water chemistry is still within control. On top of that, my water change regime is pretty harsh as well. 1 do it about twice a week taking out about 30% each time. Trying to maintain the NO3 round 40ppm. |

Can't recall the powerhead capacity right now. I'll have a look at the box when I get back home. Is there a guideline for the powerhead sizing? Didn't want something too big and bulky but good enough to circulate the water. |
