How long do you think this tank would last?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
2x 70% wouldnt it be too much for the fish?
 
If i move 1-2 fishes to another tank, maybe i move the bichir would it still be overstocked in your opinion Hendre Hendre ?

Having a big barrel to age the water for a day before the change would help

giar giar overstocking is basically when you can't keep nitrate under control. Maybe moving the rays will help, they may not do well in those conditions for long

You should be able to make it work for that span of time if there are no aggression issues as long as you keep on top of your water quality.....a sump would help quite a bit.

Im trying my best.. 1-2x 50% wc and just feed what they can finish within 5minutes, scoop any waste if i see any.

Nitrate from tap is 40ppm already.. so literally theyre only producing 40ppm weekly. If i understand it correctly

Should be fine since the tank parameters already should match the source water pretty closely in terms of ph and tds. With correct dosing of water conditioner and similar water temp, I don't think it would harm your fish in any way. Adding a sump sounds ideal, but I would go as large as you can to add water volume. If you could do a sump with a lot of plants, all the better.

A sump with a LOAD of plants can help you. Fast growing stuff, look at aquaponics :)

Yes, this is what i am aiming for..
I cant add plants on the canisters and i dont like plants on the display tank.. so having them in the sump is my goal to combate nitrate.

Ok from next week i will try to do 70% WC.
Tds from tap is about 120-130, i normaly do WC once the TDS reads about 160-170.

Any good readings about sump?
