    Your niktrates are gonna eventually kill everything. How often are you feeding the fish and how many liters are your water changes?

    hang out here for a bit and learn the basics, then give your own tank a try.
    This hobby can be hard enough without having to go through a second party that may or may not listen to you.

    good luck

    just wondering how much circulation should i have for a tank of around 320L or so?
    what is the ratio of LPH circulation?
    cheers

    I have 35 times turnover rate in my 38g tank and wish it were more. I'd shoot for at least 30x and see how you like it. You can always go higher later.
