lookin after a tropical tank is easy peasy just need a good filter, i bought my fluval fx5 about a year ago and only changed the water every 6 months and fish still happy =D just remember to feed the fishes thats all you need to worry about.

Yeah if you do it right you can pretty much have the aquariums look after themselves.

I had tanks for 15 odd years before I moved into my old place and havent bothered to set another one up...

Best advice is to get a powerhead and attach it to an undergravel filter, and then get some hardy fish in to start the bacteria culture up... add the plants and stones and what not, and give it at least a month before putting the really expensive fish in...

Livebearers (guppies, platys, mollies) are pretty tough, you can use fighting fish (bettas) as well since theyre from cambodian bogs and have the ability to breathe oxygen from the air... just make sure when you get an aquarium you plan the mixture of fish. Nothing worse than putting an angelfish or a red tailed black shark in and have them bully every other fish in the aquarium... get some docile fish like bumblebees or kuhli loaches, some catfish to keep the gravel clean of uneaten food and a couple of golden snails to eat algae (or a bristle nosed catfish)... you'll have a nice lookin' tank in no time

just dont skimp on the plant life or the equipment

My dad has had his tropical fish tank up and running i reckon for atleast most of my life. Hes gone through two fishtanks...both 4 foot ones. His original one broke, he tried to save some of the fish by putting them in a plastic tub...only fish that lived was a clown loach (this was like 10 years ago maybe??) and that clown loach is still alive today - bloody hardy fish.

He's also gone through his fair share of discus - love the fish but keep seeming to have trouble with them dying. He recently had some weird disease with his discus, killed 4 of em :)

And since then hes bought another 5, one of em which liked to chase all the others so hes got it seperate in a clear plastic box thing in the tank haha.

But yeah dads got clown loaches, cardinal tetras, a few of the guppies from my tropical fishtank on my bedside table ;) , congo tetras and a shitload of bristlenosed catfish cos they had babies :P

My lil 22lt tank is currently down cos with year 12 i don't get the chance to change the water....but dad changes his every week - 40%. Trying to keep those bloody expensive discus alive. But yeah, after year 12 i'll have it going again....dad suggested getting a breeding pair of cichlids....so we'll see how that goes. :(

Anyway...just thought i'd share - some people are REALLY sto0pid....fail??

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
