New To Freshwater

also I find going over kill on filtration has worked well for me in FW, as you dont have live rock to handle Biofiltration. I was origninall running 2 AC110s the that along side a Marineland C-360 canister, now I just run 2 of the canisters, a total of 160(rated) gallons of filtration, In one I have all my biomedia, and chemical media, and the other is strictly mechanical filtration. For chem. filtration I am using, Chemi pure, carbon(lots ) phosban, which is a phosphate remover, and I cant remember the name of the other stuff, but its an ammonia absorber. my water is clear as crystal (now that I got an actual Light you can see it too ) Also depending on species, you may consider frozen/home made foods, my cichlids are of the herbivore species, so I feed them a frozen mush of spinach, peas, zuchini, broccoli, loads of garlic, and a bit of shrimp mixed in for protein, this diet has been used along side new life spectrum for 6 years, and the love it, never lost a fish in my tank I am happy to report!

I have yet to see either of these tanks as there is 3 of them. They did'nt know what size they were when I asked when she phoned. I'm going to go this morning and give them a quote for a monthly fee. I'm also to do a WC on one of the tanks so they can see my work. Whatever that means?

I have a forty gallon Discus tank and I use RO-DI water in it. It is a planted tank so I just skim the surface of the substrate going deeper will damage the roots. Also I do 25% water change every other day due to the finicky nature of Discus. Most other tank are every other week except a goldfish tank they are a very dirty fish and require more frequent changes. Just my opinion.
