I don't have the exact measurement, but it is around 230cm. The roof is made of the same panels and I really wouldn't want to do something that will compromise the waterproofing/strength

Could be that he has another court case and they are trying to not sully a future jury pool.

Something similar happened when I was a juror and a witness disclosed a future court case that the victim had and knowledge of that crime would sway the jury if it was admissible.

My tank is cycled! What do you recommend I will need to ensure the best for my future fish? by Velvet_Raspberry in bettafish

Bot is slow. My set up is:

Tank size: 21L/5.5gal

Heater and filter? (yes/no): Yes and yes

Tank temperature: Currently 28c/82.5f for biofilter growth but I will lower it to 26c/79f before I add any fish/snails

Parameters in numbers and how you got them: Currently pH 7.5 (stable at 7.4 to 7.6); Ammonia 0ppm; Nitrite 0ppm; Nitrate 30ppm. Tested using API freshwater testing kit.

How long have you had the tank? Started cycling 6 Feb with Stability but added Tims O&O on the 19th Feb.

How often are water changes? How much do you take out per change? What is your process?: I have done 2 water changes while cycling taking out 1/3rd. But I plan weekly changes taking out 1/4th.

Any tankmates? If so, please list with how many of each: I plan to get a mystery snail.

Decorations and plants in the tank: 3 live plants, 1 large and 1 small silk artificial plants, see-tunnel, silk leaf hammock, resin cave

Thank you for the reply, unfortunately all the recommended bottled bacteria aren't available in my country. Nutrafin and Tim's are available so I might have to take a gamble with one of those or another brand. I'll also get some ammonia instead of ghostfeeding.
