JeffT123 Gambusia MFK Member Dec 5, 2015 102 12 18 42 May 7, 2016 #17 would you say 18" is too much for a 75g
kno4te MFK Moderator Staff member Global Moderator MFK Member Dec 24, 2005 18,984 21,794 480 USA May 7, 2016 #18 I think minimum advised is 180g. Could be wrong but the gar guys can reply and help.
