Hi,
I am in the process of setting up a new 80gal tank. I am currently cycling the tank.
Question:
1) I am going to get 2 heaters. But what temparature should I set on each heater if I need the temp in the tank to be 70'F? WIll the temp be too high if i set both heater to 70'F? Coz I've heard many ppl suggesting 2 heaters incase 1 is failed.
2)Do I need air pump for Lake Malawi cichlids? I have a Marines Penguin 220B, and Penguin 350 filters. And 2 small live plants. I am thinking to have 8-15 fishes in my tank. Do Lake Malawi cichlids require a lot of oxygen? Or with my current setting they will be sine?
3) Plant. What are the suggested plants for Lake Malawi cichlids? And how do I plant them? DO I just bury them into the gravel? WIll that be affected when i vaccum the gravel?
4)Aquarium salt. Is that neccesary for fresh water fish?
That's all the questions I have for now. Hopefully will get some advices.
Thanks in advance.
