ok, done a 50%water change, got rid of the rotten plants and now have a nice algae free tank with some now happy fishes in. i will take a reading tomorrow and continue water changes if needed, my piranha likes the new space i have provided him and is swimming around more than ever, plus he's...

shpuld i remove my plants? they look a little rotten... some of the leaves have died, they were brown when i got them, or had patches of brown, now they are fibrous :unsure:

how can i cycle the tank if im doing water changes? will this not keep preventing the neccessary cycle? should i not let it cycle and hope they live?

if i have kille doff the bacteria by any chance, if i do another water change will i not be back to square one again in a week, or should i just wait it out until it finishes cycling again :/ **hunts for posts on new tank syndrome**

I did a partial water change the other day, and topped it up nicely. for about 2 days the water conditions were stable and the fish looked very happy. however, i tested today after the water smelt funny, i have green strands of algae all over my sand and plants, as if its bloomed overnight! i...

if you write tot hem with recorded delivery they cannot ignore your requests... just make ap oint of saying you will tell everyone you know how bad they are and that you are part of an online community they cant afford that sort of bad publicity

Is there any type of worm that can be introduced into an aquarium so that the multiply daily/weekly to ammounts that could keep on breeding for years? so, constantly supplying my fishw ith a supply of worms to eat? Or is this just not possible?

My father-in-law showed me his marine tank today, he has some sort of pink blanket over everything, even the substrate, not just the old coral in there. any ideas? i'm not a marine person so i dont know anything on the subject! thanks

when i first saw the link on the main bit of the site, it suggested fish lasers as in attatching lasers to the fish lol that would be amusing, fish playing lazerquest all day, with a scoreboard :D

probably the food trapped in your gravel before you added the sand.. remeber its now locked in any nitrate forming, you could get a sudden burst, like an oil field, killing your fish

sounds like my car.... ..although that was a lot more expensive, but put together with the same technique -_-

It doesn't need a scientist to work it out mate, its quite simply bull####!! thanks Dr.VonBull####spotter

nah that tank comes with a cheap internal filter and i dont have lighting cos its piranhas i keep so theres no need for it (they like dark shade) I use an uplighting lap that has an attachment on it, pointing into the water, gives a nice effect my setup cost 30gallon tank a1 condition, £10...

trading standards may wanna take a look

I got my 30 gallon for £10 from the recycling centre, so I'm happy, but why do say 180's cost £400? and up... its just glass!

Red belly... hes about 2 inches long lovely to look at, lovely red belly :thumbs: great set of mini teeth on him also :clap:

I'll get some pics up later of Jack, my new piranha Jack, as in "i'm alright jack" .... or jack the nipper, as my father inlaw refers to him! He almost killed himself though by biting the transprtation a bags... twice! and the shop keepers finger :D

Just keep a quiet log of all the missus buys thats totally just for her... like skirts, underwear, those chocolates or books on low carb meals etc. then just remind her of them, after you have come back fromt he fish shop Always works, they always spend more than us, but in smaller quanitites...

Ok, I think the forum's swaying towards the use of them then. I have purchased a tub last night for 200 gallons, should keep me going.

A governing body you can complain to about them, who go round and give em some stick

well you cant keep them in groups less than 12, otherwise they kill each other within weeks, however, im told i will probably end up with just 7 or 8 by the time they're adults, but happily storming around the tank. i can't ever house 8 piranhas, so this is the next best thing, for me anyway :)...

I have looked on the web, they suggest just leaving the water in a warm place in direct sunlight will eventually release the chlorine. this suggests to me then that cycling a tank for three weeks would have released quite enough of the chlorine (not that there was much in the water anyway)...

its ont eh shelf mate, or if you're lucky and they have some in the fridge, then you could have a source for 'the good stuff'. Obviously a shelf bottle in the fridge is no good! :rofl: as for a tub of ammonia left out, no. there is no dilution, the concentration is too high for anything to...
