Gonna do test the morra morning and keep a close eye on it. My master kit is on its way via post, till then I have my separate test. Am I right by saying in the first month of cycling the ammonia and nitrate levels will be high until the bacteria adjust to the amount of fish I have?

I didn't mean you personally but I thought I asked the right and enough questions on what to do. Any way my fish are in the tank now, hopefully they'll survive just like the goldfish did, which is now at the pet shop waiting for a new home!

Not sure about the filtration, its a biorb tank so if you could tell me that would be great. I will check the lamp in the morning for the voltage.

I'm sorry buy I feel every time I create a thread people are having a go at me. Not everyone that joins this site has the knowledge you guys have about fish and tanks. Us newbies will follow the info we get with the tank and think its safe to add fish! You may be trying to help but the way you...

I have the mature filter from my other tank in it! And used the stuff I got with the tank! No one had a problem in the other thread when I said I will be gettin tropical fish this weekend, you had the opportunity to offer advice this last week about me getting them!!!

Lol, I have trouble writing cherry for some reason, well spotted! Lol

Finally got my first tropical fish today! Got two cheery shrimp and a siamese fighting fish! Thinking about getting an Apple snail the morra. Anyone have any recommendations for me? Oh I got a few live plants in there aswell.

ANY ammonia whatsoever is harmful to fish so you need to be keeping it lower than 0.25ppm. At levels 1ppm and above, ammonia can cause permanent damage within 1 hour. Andy what is ppm? hi, by filter media i mean sponge. Snails will clean the tank, they eat left over food and Algea. And yes...

well what do you want to no that will help?
