Nope....water parameters still the same as usual. No problems with it whatsoever. I got it at Francis Shop few months ago...12 sticks for $8. I think he still has it now. Saw yesterday when we were there.

cause initially sure whack till scales drop and split tail....got to take some time to let my tigers get used to the new additions...they cant tolerate anything that swims in mid water with them. They dun disturb top swimmers like aros and bottom dwellers like birchirs and cats...thats why now my comm quite ok....if add mid water fishes..thats it.

I think it decreased...but i did not test since i changed to OR. Also offloaded one big IT and one NTT.........so i guess things must have improved. No problems after OR installed.

Looks like now we just have to concentrate on our monsters and EEs....

I wanna get big altis...do keep a lookout for me bro.

I have no time to maintain my own setup of late and now left with only a couple clumps of nanas SA setup needs lotsa greenery and DW, plus not-too-bright lights to create the right ambience
ya tat wood is like abit off.... will be doing a rescape soon n hopefully can get wat i have in mind....
