Know one else is allowed to look at our tank :hyper: :rolleyes:

:good: Wow thats awsome i wondered how you made vids like that? an the way all that substrate moved was just amazing :good:

Have to agree the ammonia way is proberly the best way to go, why go an waste your money on some fish that you might not even want, ie just buying them to cycle, and even when you think you tank has cycled every time you put new fish in your tank it will go through another mini cycle. As to...

Spot on!!

I rang maidenhead at east brigford an they don't sell the particular fish i'm looking for, an the one their opening is gonna be at whisby garden centre, not sure when it will be open tho, lets just hope that there bringing in new staff when they open it, or at least give them proper training...

Need a few ideas on stocking for my tank! My tank is now cycled!! it's 4ft approx 227 ltr? Any ideas would help a great deal looking at malawi! :good:

thank you for helping me out on this one, i would have been lost with out this help!! Well just to update you, my ammonia is now dropping to zero in the morning after adding it the evening before, my nitrite is just reached its spike an is starting to drop, and nitrate is now falling too, should...

try to get extra piece of wood which is alot thicker than the origanal shelf an either replace it or place the thicker piece underneath attached to both sides of the bookshelf, (nails Screws) but prob best to do this while tank not on the shelf!!!! Failing that i'd put the tank on the floor, at...

I have a trigon 350 an i've had no probs with the filters but i have added a external filter, i didn't cut the origanal lid i made one from perspec an cut the holes in that, i use to have another juwel tank an had no probs with that either, IMO get one that suits your budget and your fish...

Since i can remember fish have always been near? from when i was little me dad always tryeed to get us in to fishing, me i never found it much fun i liked looking at them but not catching them! Had a goldfish when i was young, an few years later after moving in with my now Husband we started out...

Just worked out where my ammonia reading came from, when i cleaned everything i forgot one thing! The heater holder! :rolleyes: I noticed it had some algae on it. This shouldn't spread should it, i haven't had lights on since setting up? Added filter media an now getting my nitrate + nitrite +...

Thanks Majjie for you replys, i tested my water last night an some how i have a reading of 0.50 of ammonia, 0.25 nitrite, nitrate 20, not sure how that happened as 4 days earlier i had a reading of 0 everything, please could someone enlighten me a little as i have added nothing to the water so i...

gotta agree with you their there rubbish never got on with them at all!!! IMO liquid test kits are more accurate, an soooo much easier to read :hyper:

??

Orange finned loaches are good for this too, mine eat any they can find!! but on if tank big enough???

So say i put in my used filter material then added say half the ammonia that I'd calculated, leave, then test for ammonia an nitrite going down, an also test for nitrate make sure its being produced? how long should this process take roughly??? :unsure:

Wats biospira? just thought could use some filter material out of my other tank thats been established for a long time, that should be OK???? Thanks for your replys everyone, keep em coming!!!!!

Is there other methods? this is my first time doing a fishless cycle? plus my ammonia test only reads 4ppm then jumps to 8ppm there nothing in between? maybe an idea to get one that'l read better????

:blush: Bit embarrassed to ask this! How do i cycle my tank using ammonia??? I have kept fish for many years an after much debate an arguments i had to strip my 4ft tank due to algae taking over, so i was left with empty tank! After much more debate i came to the decision i would start up a...

that was wat i mean't just forgot to put that bit lol :lol:

i tend to use my sand cleaner after i've got out what i can with siphoning, it doe's make a great deal of a difference i think. as for as for under gravel filters they would not work with sand, imo

I have a airstone in when i'm treating in my isolation tank, better to be safe than sorry!?! ;)

HI i got this great thing from pets at home (don't buy any fish from there tho!!!) its an air driven thing it only cost couple of quid but its great, its got a bag on side of tube for sand to go thru but crap to stay in some sand doe's get stuck in the bag but a little shake an it comes through...

:D many thanks for your replys, sorry for putting it in wrong section! they seemed to have settled down today, as ox5477 said about moving tank decorations, think i must have caused them to start as i was cleaning under some rocks, which i moved to other side of tank while doing this. but...

:/ Hi all i have 2 jewel cichlids in my 350l which have been in same tank for at least the last 4 to 5 months, tonight while i was doing water change i noticed they were behaving very odly? They seened to be mirroring each others moves then they'd get in to wat i'd call a lip lock this lasted...
