nice looking tank's, and it is a very addictive hobby, just remember that with anything other than cherries you will need a chiller, hope all go's well with your newfound hobby, and keep us updated, with lot's of pic's.

                   cheers Pete...

Hello skf groovers thought I'd take another pic of the new 3x18x18 tank it was set up Tuesday night finished filling Wednesday night so it's been 5 days there abouts clearing up slowly everything look happy let me no what you all think till next time bigbear out

Lush growth dude, keep us posted with heaps of pics.

Nice selection of plants too.

looking good mate, definitely get a chiller for your CRS to avoid heart break. Also a thing to consider if you put your CRS in the tank with larger water volume as opposed to a cube you will save over a long period of time in electricity as the higher water volume wouldnt require as much chilling then the cube.

 

The beauty of chiller depending on make to is i use mine as a thermometer

[Bigbear]

Thanks for the positive comments I here you with the chiller I think I might just air con the room instead of a chiller I think that might be a better way to go plus then I can watch all my tanks in comfort as they are all in the same room what do you think about that ? Till next bigbear out

[slin1977]

Yeah a climate controlled room is a great idea as long as you keep it going.

These things need stability over a couple of weeks to keep them ticking.

So with stability in mind that refers to not making big changes too often.

This rings true for smaller tanks too.

I have a pond colony of cherries that has so far survived winter outdoors, but that is a sideline project....

The heat causes more problems than the cold.

[petfish]

if you have or are going to have multiple tank's then it would be more energy efficient to have the room temp controlled, for sure.....  .and your tank look's mint to.

[Bigbear]

Thanks everyone for you're help ill get the room air conditioned as there will be 5 tanks in total in the lounge room and ill be able to keep it temp controlled all the time so there won't be any temp probs tanks are looking sweet all water param are now stable and my cherrys are doing very well gota love the ro water it's amazing the diff plus the tds meter the plants in the new tank have nearly doubled in size in 6 days can't believe it I love this hobby I'm a shrimp lover for sure ill take a couple of picks of my tropical community tank I have had for 20years please keep the advice and help flowing much app till next time big bear out ps I'm looking for some weeping moss for my bonsi tree if anyone has some or knows where I can buy please let me know cheers
