russellh Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Hi. Just thinking about turning my 1500l Ex Marine tank into a fresh water tank. I have taken everything out and it is full of fresh. What are the latest metas now for Fresh? I have a massive sump. Should I just fill it with Matrix or is every 1 using the cubes? Are trickles still a thing? I would like to set up a Frontosa display/ 2400 x 750 x 700. Would 100 fit in it? QldMick and johnbetta 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbeer Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 Filter media in my sump - I use anything and everything. If your sump did marine it will do fresh, with almost any media. trickles are still a thing, but I like the concept of k1 media types. johnbetta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worried it maybe storing Po4 ect. Where is every 1 buying their media these days? Is there still local breeders who sell fish as well? johnbetta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t put 100 Frontosa in you have to realise they can get to 35+ cms when fully grown id put 20 - 30 and thin the Males out when big enough to sex. johnbetta and QldMick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
