ok so here it is.. u may reamber it from a post i made a while back while the tank was cycling its a 3g pico...and ppl told me to move the rock around so there wasnt any "dead" spots, and more room:rollface: for the seahorses, so... here it is...=)

..tell me what u think

so i have the 2 bbs hatcherys( the soda bottle kind with the black base at the bottem..is 2 enough)? and 8 bags of bbs and 1 vile of bbs as well as the gut loading stuff..



O yes the flow about the flow...i have 2 filters and 1 is the stock pico filter and it gives about 40gp of flow and the azoo as well, is that to mutch...

the ammonia in the tank is 0ppm its been cycling for about 5-6 weeks
is that how u can tell if the tank is finished cycling?

Glad the tank if finishing it's cycle. You're going to need a bunch of hitching spots for the dwarfs. For now, you can use fake plants you can purchase from your LFS. Just make sure they aren't the "bendable" plants with metal wires in them.

The tank isn't finished cycling until you feed the tank and then test it 4 hours later and the ammonia and nitrite are both at zero. I am a little concerned about how much flow you are going to have in that tank. It all depends on how spread out it is, I guess, but I suspect that having over 15x turnover is going to blow the dwarves around quite a bit. When you add the dwarves, you may want to either turn the filters down (if possible) or turn one of them off, and see how they handle the lower flow, and then you can gradually add it to see how much they can take without getting blown around. Since this is going to be your mom's tank, has she been reading up on how to care for dwarves also?

Thanx for your ur advice, but about the flow, i thought it was a bit mutch as well so i will turn it down a good bit. But no my mom hasnot read mutch on them just because im the one maintaining the tank, so ill she needs to do enjoit it! Is there anything els that u can think of. i hope u liked it and post more if you'd like. Thanx for you time. =)
