Hi, still in the middle of my fishless cycle on my 125 litre tank so i'm researching the fish i would like to keep. I have read about the 1 centimetre to 1 litre (1 inch to 1 gallon,uk) theory. I know it's only a rough guideline, but this would in theory allow me to keep roughly 125 centimetres...

Thanks again for the advice, will phone water company on monday. Thanks also for the heads up regarding the Nutrafin aqua, didn't realise it was expensive as it came with my start up pack when i bought my Fluval Roma tank.

Thanks for that, thought i was losing it

Hi, Think i'm being stupid hear but i'm reading the directions for adding Aqua plus to my tap water. It says- To remove chlorine add 10mls per 70 litres. To remove chloramine add 10 mls per 35 litres. Does this mean i've got to add a dose for each ?. i.e. about 20 mls to remove the chlorine and...

Checked the shelves first before asking a member of staff, I live in Scotland so their stocking policies might be different from other countries.

Thanks to everyone for the great advice, Just been out and managed to get some Ammonia from Homebase (9.5%), as Schmill suggested, £1.95 for 500mls. Tried Boots first, as suggested also and closer to home but they apparently don't stock it now. Now to start my cycle again, thanks again, Alan

Back again, Forgot to say i had used Nutrafin Cycle that came with the tank, would that make a difference or do i still need to start over again with ammonia ? Thanks again

Hi, thanks for the advice, looks like i'm starting again as the LFS didn't mention adding ammonia,where's the best place to buy it ?, Cheers
