Time To Buy New Gfs Options

[jowy_ham]

After absorbing all the advice from fellow forum-ers, I managed to cycle my tub liao ( no dead fishes for abt a week liao, I use guppies to cycle my tank coz they are more hardy )

Time to buy new GFs liao so happy .

I understand for newbie, shouldn't get too x one cos it still will die easily if not taken care off properly, so wat will be the price range / size of GFs that I should be looking at ?

I live in the NE, any good place to get some healthy GFs ?

Few Q again :
1. The GH & KH of my water is dropping, what should I do ? I read something on coral chips, any idea where to get that ?

2. I also read something on buffering water ( using baking soda ) any idea on that as well ?

3. I also read something on Activated Carbon to remove the smell from the water, is it true ? coz my wife complaining the water smell ( fishy smell ) although I dont think so

Thanks in advance

Hi Bro East_Ozeki, Thanks for the kind advise.



wao lau, Bro LASERGUY, u sounds fierce and un-frenly, hope i didn't cause u too much trouble.

Anyway I have taken some water readings of my tub ( pH at 7.6 - 8 ), Ammonia level is 0, Nitrite level is also 0, Nitrate level is at 10.

Then U tell me how to know when the tub is properly cycled lah, I newbie mah, dun expect too high lah, even i read all the posting here I may also have problems understanding mah.

Hello, give me a chance lah.

U really sounds un-frenly

Wah lau, I sound fierce meh ? Wait till you receive postings from Jos Nana or Hun citizen....

Apologise if there is any discomfort lah, as what g-string has mentioned, just do a search here or elsewhere, you should able to find most of the information needed.

For a newbie, my personal thinking will be find out more before you start, it's okay to fail initially, but most important is what you have gained from the experiences and don't commit the same mistake again.

It's simply no use to let others spoon feed you all the way with every details/information, should put in effort to verify what is right and what is wrong.

Sorry if I sound harsh again....

Perhaps I should stop posting in this topic to avoid any more misunderstanding....
