Hey Buddy.
Nice fish, looks like you feed them well. And nice to see they have some sand to play in.
Has your Ph varied with the addition of the bog wood, gone low?

Actually Mick, I took the sand back out for now, they are only about 5 inches and am still feeding and doing Freq WC's to help their growth, just found it easier without the sand. ( but really liked the looks of it) My PH has stayed stable with the Wood in it. i age my water 24 hrs before WC and is showing PH to be very consistent. I have hard water and have never seen it very low at all.
thanks for the welcome.

Oh dear about the hardness of your water. I'm fortunate to have 22,000 litres of rain water. I never let it age, I add sea salt, and discus vitamins, my system has 1200 litres, sorry not sure how many gallons, I drop 50% out through a tap in the end and trickle fill with the rain water. I do this about every six weeks. With this volume the water chemistry changes are very slow, my pH is generally around 5.0 to 5.6. and the temp is about 28C to 30.7C ish in the Aussie summers. Even in the winter, trickling very cold water only varies the tank temp by about 5C, ie drops to about 25C, and doesn't bother the fish at all.
Dude. Feel free to add more pics.
Regards
Mick.
