ok i have a 150g 60x24x24 tank with 40 malawi juvi fish...
the filter is a 2217 eheim with a normal sponge filter set.
before they were added i had just i medium sized talapia to kick start the bio cycle...
only trouble is that this talapia would probably survive anything thrown at it ..so its no indication of a healthy tank.
so now i am going to hack it down to local petshop tommorow morning....
im thinking to get an ammonia indicator and also nitrate....my ph tap water is way high anyway.
....but what should i get as a matter of course??? because i dont want to waste money on something i do not need.
would i have time to avert any situation that my arise with all these fish so that i dont lose any..
what would you guys do in my situation.
dont get me wrong...i have read all the stuff on this site that i could....but its a case of information overload...
im just thinking of the next step ...thanks...appreciated....and im a bit worried for the fish.
