We came home today and the water level had dropped by 5 cms... hrm!!! what happened?It looks like the replanting of the tank had disturbed enough stuff to block the filter and had one nozzle was squirting very enthusiastically drenching the wall and the carpet behind the tank.
Emergency mode! First drain the tank by 60L then move the tank out, bring out the towels and dry the damp carpet. At the same time we decided to paint the back of the tank black.
A dark backdrop is ideal for Amazon tank and gives the little tetras a nice background to show off their colours.
We rejigged the filter so now the water flowed under the separator rather than over. Which will help when the squirter will happen again
