I have the same or similar Fluval filter as you.
Jo, your tank looks good. Are you going to restock it with more fish? |
There's 2 tanks there, the 1 with the internal filter (Fluval U4) is running a Fluval 205 external, I don't really like Internal filters, they ruin the look but it's not really up to the task of a 200l tank even though it's rate as "upto", the 180l tank is running a 305 which is much more up to the task, think I'll be getting another of those
The hidey holes are important especially for Plecos and other Algae eaters which tend to be fairly nocturnal anyway, fish like places to hide away in general though, they need rest too!
Do either of you use aquarium salt, I started about 6 months ago and since then the fish seemed to be a heck of a lot healthier! I just follow the instructions on the carton and add about 3 heaped teaspoons to my 25l bottles I use to stow the water before I add it in with dechlorinator, don't go any more specific than than that as it's not exactly salt-water by any degree, I guess it could be described as brackish.
