Please I have recently moved to Thailand and was having problem with mosquitoes so I thought I would cure it with some fish in with the large water lily post with a pump and small filter And would spend hrs watching my guppy's and comet ( gold Fish ) swim around after getting home from work along with a few beer then a few weeks later of course they started mating so I had a few extra which was great so I put together a another 25 ltr. unused floor pot with same pump and filter. but now I have got the bug I deside that out side my room where we have a flood protection wall I would build a bigger fresh water tropical fish pond. which is 260l. Built no problems there but as I said now I have the bug so I have added More Guppy's 5 male 5 female, Plus the extened Guppy Family 10 blue Mickey Mouse, Or Mollies, 5 Angle fish but lost one early after the transfer ( I know some People say that you shouldn't keep them with guppy's ) but I don't mind losing a half or all the fry as it needs some control. Right and just last week I have add 2 Green Catfish Now enough About Me and my New obsession Know about the Pond Water temp 27.5- 28/29 on a hot day Ph 7.5 -8 Water running very clear trough a 600l per hr pump and small water feature and cleaning once a week Water Has cycled as it running about 8 weeks Tap water Ph 7 Put I want to bring the Ph level down so the angles and Green Catfish are happier Was thinking of use a 3/4 step with Peat as the last stage to reduce the PH but what size do I get and should I run it off the same pump Or is there a better option I have looked all over the net but there is just to many ort maybe I have been just looking too much I would love to hear your opinions about my set up and what you think is best I now Also want to add some discus as I have been looking at them on here and in the shop that's if Im not already over stocked but want do this till the pond / outdoor aquarium is full matured Thanks Wayne Great website by the way waynemorris 2013-06-13 Answer no. 1 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=hello-new-to-fish-keeping-#2 Ever thinking of getting some ID sharks for your pond? irwin id 2013-07-25
