The inlet side of the water is just a drip emitter (from drip irrigation) connected to a tap. I installed a pressure reducing valve on the tap to stop the emitter bieng 'blown' off. These emitters are available here at 2l/h, 4l/h and 8l/h. Variable drip emitters are also available.

Welcome. Great setup. Love the Geo's.
The drip system is so simple. It's perfect for a water change procrastinator like me.

hi brian
fantastic looking tank mate, you have my all time favourite cichlid the A heckelii persoally i don't think there's a better looking Cichlid.
and the tank size is a pearler thats what i wanted but living in a flat it was a no go, so i had to do with a 6 footer.

That is one amazing tank. Beautiful fish as well. Some of those Clown Loach look so large, fat and healthy. Beautiful Cichlids as well.
What is the stock list like now?

Welkom Boet, you are not alone here. Lekker pics and I'm glad you joined the forum.
Have a look at the OT forum as well as I need some support since people make fun of me but especially my biltong

Hi
Gary - Been around for a while, just dont post much, thanks for the welcome. I was adding clorinated water directly at 4l/h into 1000l. Now the incoming water is r/o. The chlorine never caused an issue but the tap water was +-400 TDS and all the fish are preferring the r/o water.
Mike - Thank for the comments and welcome.
Mickthefish - I also love the hekelii. Started with 5. Only 1 left. The strongest and toughest one survived. No aggression between differant species, only between the hekelii themselves.
Doc - Thanks. Largest clown about 20cm. Stock list (from memory) 6 Clowns, 3 Yoyo's, 3 Sids, 4 Severums, 3 Satanoperca, 2 Uaru, 5 Discus, 2 Geo Surinamensis, 1 Tapajos Red HEad, 1 flagtail...
Andre - Thanks for the welcome. Have been in Australia now for 15 years. This is now home and I support the AUSSIES!!!
Cheers
Brian
