....and of course there's a list of warnings... blah, blah blah, blah!

Hr's wouldn't be kept, they would be killed. Of course they're moving.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I just finished reading this thread beginning to end and you have expended great effort. Thank you for a wonderful tool.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]You had mentioned that you were considering the addition of plants. One of the problems with aquatic plants is calculating leaf surface area in a volume of water. You may wish to start with something simple such as duckweed. Some people do not like it floating in their tank but it can be used much like a sump is with a low flow rate in a separate tank. It is very effective at scrubbing N out of water including raw ammonia. Even with the best cycled tank nitrates still need to be removed by water changes unless you have plants to consume it. Duckweed is also easy to quantify as to area and hence filtration capacity. If that interests you here is an excellent primer http://www.fao.org/Ag/AGAInfo/resources/documents/DW/Dw2.htm[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Ps; I received the note on your site; [/FONT]

Note: Crayfish is capable of killing and eating most smaller bottom dwelling species especially during the night. Be careful when you are selecting other species to go along with this species. They have to be each given their own hiding spots, and the tank must be decorated with that in mind.


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]It might be worth mentioning they are escape artists too. If there is a space to get out between the tank and lid they will climb any plant or aquarium tube to get out.[/FONT]
