Re: no heater/pump for 2 hours

Whenever I've had the meters or fuse box changed the power has been off for up to 2 hours, I've also forgotten to switch various plugs back on after water changes.
I have 4 tanks, but not had a problem with power outages.

Re: DuzMano's Leddy 60XL 72l

How hard is the water?
It may be that they put CO2 into the supply to keep down the limescale in the pipes....?

Re: Starter advice - help!

Welcome to the forum. :D
As above, it's the hardness of the water that's most important when deciding what fish you can keep easily.

Be very careful with getting stuff from the beach/shore. Most are now protected by law to stop people removing things that can act as a barrier, but, worst of all, they are usually covered in all sorts of nasties that freshwater fish won't like.

Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs

Don't get harlequins, they'll get too big for your tank. The dwarf emeralds would be much better. ;)
If you go for badis then get a trio - one male, two females. I'm not sure how they'd react to the bigger minnows though as they do stay pretty small, but lovely fish.

Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs

If you get bottom feeders then you don't want all the food gone in 10 seconds as none will get down to them (I keep guppies and panda corys together)!
A minute is a good guide, but you do want it gone quickly to stop the problems that Martin mentions.

Don't use grit if you're going to have bottom feeders, it will cut their mouths and barbels.
