What fish do you keep?
Primarily Angels and Discus, with a few pairs of Bolivian Rams, a pair of Convicts, two Geophagus, and some new Africans.
How do I treat the water?
For the soft water fish, I add a hefty dose of Acid Buffer and declorinator into a bucket, and into the tank it goes. For the Africans, I'm still trying to work that out, much to my distress. I have very high pH water, but VERY soft water, so the day after I got them home the pH crashed. I"m working on a buffering system now....
How do I store my water?
I don't yet, but there are plans in the works to do so.
What would you do differently?
Lots of things, starting with a UV to kill Bad Things (of which Baltimore City municipal water has plenty), several filters, and a buffering system for the crapy water chemistry.
Later!
Amanda.
