Looking good hornet, what sort of turtle have you got in there?

What's the go with your signature? Did the police confiscate your stash or something?

Nice setup

hehe Friends that become dinner in time yes?

not likely unless they are sick or something. I would imagine they are too expensive for food.

 

[hornet]

yea, i origanlly put around 30-40 firetail gudgeons in for food but they didnt get touched, so added something with more color, i have 2 kreffts turtles and 2 saw shelleds, what would be good plants to add, i want it to look like an aussie stream so no plants that obviously look exotic

 

[mitchdiamond]

are ''Elodea Densa'' exotic I have used them for my aquarium but never last long the fish up root them and eat it.

 

[hornet]

yea, they are exotics, more looking for.....damn, cant remember the name, they are good looking natives but quite hard 2 keep growing, need very good lighting

 

[hornet]

potamageton(spelling) cant remember the sp tho

Nice setup Hornet, what size tank is that and what type of filtration system are you running ??

 

[hornet]

the tank is 91x46x46cm and the filter is a unistar POW 300-3Lrecomended for a 200-300L tank

How do you go with wather quality looks like you dont have a canister filter

 

[hornet]

water quaility is fine, never had ammonia or nitrite probs, i'm hoping to get a canister filter soon, would one with a uv steriliser be good or dont worry bout it and just get a normal 1?

 

[Adam]

No need to go to crazy with the filter.

 

[hornet]

lol so just a normal canister filter then?

 

[Adam]

That will be heaps!!!! I would just stick with whats in there personally. Just clean the foam and replace the charcoal every now and then. Charcoal every couple of months.

check http://www.aquariumproducts.com.au/ there filters should be far cheaper than petshops, although i havnt compared them.
