Hello folks!!

Been looking through here for a while now, and the sites great! I'm gonna pick up a pair of Micromans Agassizii" Redtail" tomorrow and just wanted to check i've got everyhting right.

Tank is a 180 liter filtered with a fluval 304. It has black sand over cactus compost as substrate, slate rock features (Plenty of caves). Plants are java ferns, moss, a couple of wendttii and 2 anubias, some of the precedeing attached to a good lump of bogwood.

Lighting is the standard juwel setup, but with arcadia origonal and hagen powerglow tubes (one 30 watt of each)

Current contents are 6 Leopard Danios and 6 Bronze Corys (who never stop spawning)

Water stats:

AMM 0ppm
NitrIte 0ppm
Nitate 10 - 15ppm
PH 6.4
GH Undetecable on an API test kit
KH Same as above

Having a bit of a problem at the moment with brown 'bush' algea but winning the fight i think. Water changes are 30% weekly with water from our borehole (no chlorine in it) as we are not on mains, but still treating water with 'stress coat' at recommended dose.

You can look at the tank here.

Is there anything i'm missing?

Cheers in advance folks :)

Cheers Mate, All in and well at the moment, still exploring the tank and hiding in caves so i'll try and get a pic tomorrow. Really pleased with them though, Microman is a star, and the agassizzii male is stunning :)
