Actually the only problem will be most big tanks have bracing... So not sure if this will still work? Or only on braceless tanks.

congrats on getting poisoned
![]() fries, if you decide to let them be and not harvest them out, most of the time stays near parents for a start, so if your shells and rockpiles are away from the inlets, they should be fine. so your filtration if you have the internal plus an OHF should be good enough. but if you wana add a cannister, why not? haha main thing is make sure you cycle your tank well before stocking up. |

Bro, i'm also a tanga beginner offering what I have learn from all the tanga dragons...
basically coral chips/coral sand is used to maintain/stable PH.....around 8.0 -9.0 should be fine (mine at around 8+/-). You can visit lfs to get ready mix tanganyika buffer & tanganyika salt to get the required hardness & PH to replicate the natural environment of tanga fishes. Or to save on the high cost of buying ready mix (wow...7ft), most bros here do their own diy buffer...I'm sure bros here is more then ready to share their formula with you. Of cos they are other tanga keeper who prefer to use different parameter for their fishes. With the advise from all the above tanga shifu...and more visit to see their collections, you will get more knowledgeable and more poison ![]() Enjoy! ![]() |
