Are RCS so much work?Just 3 plucky "volunteers" just now lol, to see if the water is ok; they look well though, I'm getting brown diatoms, hoping it fades out though, the light is only 4 watt over 12 litres, so 0.3wpl. I'll add more and hopefully get them breeding regularly.
Ive ordered another 12x8x8, once cycled I'm gonna take the plunge on crystal reds I think, I've got RO water sorted, TDS meter, Gh and Kh kits on hand, and plan on purchasing reminersalising agent.
