nice setup.

different ppl will have different ways of doing things. as long as you can maintain the water quality, anything goes. of course the effort level will be different.

AFAIK, OHF tends to have higher current. if you really want, try to diffuse the return water.

you should not just depend on a OHF outlet for aeration. I would suggest getting another Air-pump , in the event your OHF fail, you would still have an air-stone to aerate your water

Enchanted by e sight, i ask if there r poos underneath,
the owner's bro said tat there is no poos unless its freshly release by e fishes...
he stirred e gravel wid a stick.... den wat!!! no poos!!! shiok.gif n yah, he even told me e tank is displayed for 3 months happydance.gif

oops, no time to type liao, im late, meeting goldfish(galfren), continue tonite... smile.gif

no, it have been displayed for 3 months plus...

water changes is 25% every 7-10 days

he uses bacteria, told mi to support him as i told him i intend to get two 3 ft tanks at e end of e month, n something to do with e filter medium... chicken, cunning sales tactic... have not know in details about how he does it... cos din buy from him yet

i tried using GEO liquid n PSB nitro bacter, seems to be fine... dun see any poo every morning... smile.gif

used to change water every 2-3 days, but now 1 week also no problem... no fish getting sick n 1 TBJ crown pearl whose black faded starts to restore after e 1st day happydance.gif

currently still satisfied with my tank... hehe

haha, then "no problem" is a very subjective term then.... u gotta check your water parameter to be sure you are changing enough.

hope u know the inherent problems of using gravel.

dun think there's enough aeration just from the OHF.
seriously ask you to remove the gravels.
yes....BB will more or less thrive in gravel...BUT so do other harmful bacteria....

if you wanna keep your gravels, you have to be extra diligent in water change....
and 25-30% change is definately no enough....unless you feed your fish teeny weeny bits of food once a day, which i doubt so......heehehehe...
