QUOTE(The Matrix @ Tue 29 Jun 2004 01:07 PM) Give u a hint ... I keep 2 2" demekin in a 3ft guppy tub filled full to the top, about 90L per fish. U think your 2ft tank 50L can keep how many ? My standard ratio of keeping goldfish is a minimum of 50L per fish of not more than 3". Anything bigger will have 80L min up to 250L each. when did u test your ammonia ? before light on or a few hours after light on ? Also I am not too sure this test kit is good enough to test. HB, what brand u recommend har ? Since it is in the initial stage of green water, probably u turn on the light longer up to 12 hours for the time being. When established, then switch to 8 hours. Your PL lamp above 50watt ? Anyway, is it a normal 2x1x1 tank ? or something bigger ? Really envy u have such big space just for green water. May i ask what is the size of the tank u used for viewing? From yr infomation, thats mean w/ my 50L tank the most i could hse only one 3 inches ranchu. I did the ammonia test a few hrs after turning the light on. I try to keep the light on for around 12 hrs a day. PL: Enqing brand, double white tube, should be 55W. I think HB mentioned before JBL test kit could measure green water ammonia level. (Correct me if im wrong) One more thing if i continue to hse my 2 ranchu in the 50L tank and wait upon the green water get more intense and conduct more regular water change of say 50%(HB recommend 90% water chage per week in one of the stickly post), would that be better? |
