Yo, my crew chills at 50 ppm, no probs. But they're tank-raised beefheart junkies. If yours are wild, maybe cut it back. I run a sump, no plants, just driftwood. They dig it.

Hi all, I'm from the Isle of Man. Been using an Irish wholesale company, but with winter here, the ferry's stopped sailing. Need a reliable UK wholesaler to turn to. I do big orders for the whole island community - we're the main fish supplier.
