Re: Why's my pH so low?
It's because the water is being passed through a softener. This will remove the minerals that normally act to buffer the water and prevent/delay acidification. Check the kh of the well water and compare that to the kh of the water whichyou add to the tank. I'd also recommend doing more frequent wate...

Re: When will 5 clown loaches outgrow a 90 gallon?
Given a large enough tank, good diet and frequent water changes, the clowns will quickly outgrow a four footer. Anything less will retard their growth with implications for their health, so should be avoided and that means rehoming them rather than moving them from the 125G to the 90G.

Re: When will 5 clown loaches outgrow a 90 gallon?
The main issue with your new 90G is that it's only 48" long, which will give the clowns very little swimming space when fully grown (potentially 12"). On that basis I'd rehome them with the tank as you know they're going to a good home.

I find the python makes water changes on my 400L and 240L much easier. I make sure I don't change too much at once to avoid a sudden change in temperature and add the dechlorinator directly to the tank next to the python. Other advantage is that whilst it's doing the heavy lifting for me I can use a...

I use a python, which just attachs to the tap. Although the link is to a UK site the product itself is American so should be available over there.
