Dear Mr. Meuller,
Firstly I must congratulate you on your spectacular tanks and thank you for your exceptional website! Your efforts to “doing things properly” are a tribute to your father and an inspiration to me.
I have a couple of questions which i hope you could assist me with.
1. What water parameters (ph, kh & Ni) is this tank working within?
2. How did your Altolamprogus Compressiceps do in the long run?
3. I had always thought that plants would not do well in aquariums like this as too much oxygen and no CO2 basically means they will die. Is it purely a function of plant choice that your plants are still alive?
Thank You.
CW Lim

If you ad the tap water directly to your system, there is no way to predict with certainty what would happen, because I don’t know how much chlorine - or chloramine is in your tap water. I am am guessing as long as it is chlorine you should be fine. If you ad the water to the holding tank first and let it sit for a day or so before it goes in your system, you will definetely be fine if chlorine is in your water. If chloramine is in your water, you will have to use a dechlorinator no matter what.

I don’t know what a ‘rodi’ is.

Hi im interested in making a auto water changer for myself as well.
i have a 270gal tank with 120gal sump. total water volume of 350gal.
I also have a 50gal water holding tank to replenish evaporated water.

If i skip on the carbon filter and do ~5gal water change per day, would the chlorine affect my tank?
i do have a rodi i used for reef tank but didnt plan to use it for african cichlid tank.
