Hi all, I don't have acces to pure ammonia, to start my cycle of :( I have read somewhere you can put a bit of food in to start it. I have put some sand in from my existing tank. Is this correct?

Yea cost me £60 lol but well worth it!!!

Working now! Tank looks smart mate

Can't see the pics mate... Tried using the [IMG] code?

Hi My current tank was only temporary as the glass was in a bad way all scratched and not big enough. So I set out to quickly get a new one, with my bedroom nearly complete I want it to match so iv sprayed it gloss White/black. It's a juwel rio 125, with a fluval internal filter as the...

Congratulations on the spawning! Hope they all survive

Brilliant, thanks for the advice mate

I did wash them, clearly not enough :( I will have a snail or two but when I'm ready and of my choice, not ones that dwelled into my tank n multiply lol Anyway of stopping them?

I did add a plant about 2weeks ago, maybe from that? I do t want anymore so need to know how to stop them

Hi all, I have recently found 2 small snails in my tank, I have fished them out as I didn't want them in there. My question is where did they come from and how do I stop more appearing? Cheers

Ah ok, I'm not too sure then!? If you soak the wood for 48 hours should be ok though?!

Ok walkers let me know your details and we will sort something out! Banbury a little too far when my car only gets 19mpg lol

I bought some the other day from welford road (Leicester) fish shop, couple of quid for some really nice bits :)

Im in south wigston, dont mind dropping them off to some local for abit of petrol ;)

As title says im in Leicester. No post, don't agree with it sorry :(

Hi all I'm very sad to say I will need to re home two of my baby german blue rams. I currently have 6 but as they grow I will run out of room. They are starting to develop colour and can give you a male and female if wanted. They are currently no bigger than an inch. Collection would be...

Thank you mate, i will take on board your advice! Erm.. twodoctors said lower the Temp so the O2 can dissolve?! I have german blue rams

Any way of getting rid of this oil? My Temp is at 28.5 - 29c due to my rams, should i notch it down 1 or 2 degrees? can you or should you only do one water change every 24 hours? or can they be more frequest, say every 12?

Aside from larger water changes should I be doing anything different/extra? Really worried about this nitrite level

This filter is built into the hood my new one isn't. Yes there are constant bubbles on the surface when air pump is on but not when it's off?!! I would say they last longer than tap water bubbles! 5 cardinal tetras 6 baby german blue rams just under an inch at the mo. 1blue tailed plec

Also when my air pump is on the bubbles at the surface stay for a little while?! No it a brand new internal filter, so going to be doing a fresh new cycle but maybe use some of my sponge on new filter?!

Ok thanks I will up it to say maybe 70%?! I have added a new plant and terracotta pot in the last week. After my water change today I added api aquarium salt to help protect the gills etc... Oh I also removed one if the carbon sacks today from my filter as I have read you don't need them if...

Hi all, Really need some help, a few days ago I tested my tank, and everything was fine apart from nitrite being high 2ppm. I have since been doing daily water changes of around 30-50%. Today it has come down but only to 1ppm?! I dont know what to do!? I what to fix this quickly as I do not...

Looks good, im actually thinking of getting the Juwel one: http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/fish/decoration/aquarium_backgrounds/67334

i know once they have devolped i will have two set up's one being 120L(bedroom) and hopefully a 210L(Lounge) in 6months this is just a starting block for bigger things to come!

Hi Phil, Do you have the stand for this?

Using sand substrate, and roughly 100 litres. However i will be upgrading to 120L in the next three months, as this tank i currently have has alot of scratches on the glass (bought of a friend) Video for your amusement:

Hi all, today I added 6 small (roughly 1inch) german blue rams to my tank, and so far so good, a couple of them have been flirting all day which has been nice to watch, also my cardinal tetras seem alot more friendlier now they have some tank mates!! Anyway I will post a couple of pics in the...

Yes im going make sure i take my time aclimatising them, im getting 5 in total about 2cm big and mixed sex so want it all perfect for them! Thanks for your advice

Thanks mate, I was worried as i read stories of PH shock.. lol I am putting a new plant in tonight, and doing a clean. My nitrate is at 20ppm at present but hopefully go down after a clean and addition of another plant. My water is at a steady 28.5degrees :) I have bog wood already and some...

Hi, i did a PH test last night after a water change (30%) and my PH is reading 7.6 I currently have cardinal tetras and a plec, however i will be puitting in some GBR's tomorrow. Is this reading ok or should it be a bit lower, if lower how would i go about reducing it? Current fish seem to be...

Ooo im putting Some GBR's in tomorrow, my tank is a steady 28.5 degrees and i currently have cardinal tetras and small plec in there. I have read they can be a community tank fish, but as above i think it depends on the individuals temperament. Good luck with it all!

] Oh really? my LFS said about a foot in 10years! 5 inches is much better for me though! Any tips and advice on keeping him in tip top condition? Cheers,

Thanks i thought as much just wanted to check! Mucho gracias :)
