Thanks for the advice guys, went to my lfs and brought a fluval 205, was looking for an xp2 or fluval 305 but couldnt really afford either. Stupidly cut one of the wires a bit short but i think it is fine for now. Just going to run them alongside each other for a while and then when I take out...

But won't the bacteria be established and course massive ammonia spikes, along with eventually nitrite spikes? Just curious. Thanks!

Thanks for your help guys! I was just wondering how could I get the bacteria from the internal filter to the external filter? Would it be a case of just moving the media over or is there an alternative method without having to cycle the tank again? Thanks

Thank you so much! Any other suggestions just wanna see the different advice!

Hi, I have doubts on my internal filter for my Juwel Rio 125 tank. I'm wanting to buy an external filter just because it will do a better job. I was just wondering about which one to get for a 125 litre tank, obviously I want to not spend any more then £80.00 and one which would be readily...

I haven't tested the tap water since last but i'll do another test tonight. My ammonia was 0.2ppm today (estimated it lol, halfway between 0 and 0.25). Just want it to hurry up would love to add some hatchetfish!

Can anybody please advise me on what to do, my readings today was Ammonia 0.2ppm, Nitrites 0ppm and Nitrates 10ppm again. I'm getting really impatient just because it hasn't changed at all in two weeks. And one of my guppys is just sitting on a cave I plan on doing a large waterchange tonight...

Thanks for your help guys, just got the internet finally so i'll post an update. The day after my previous post one of my albino corydas died =[. I've been doing water changes every day up to the day i got my API kit, the ammonia was about 5ppm, Nitrite 0ppm, and nitrates 20ppm. I have been...

Thanks for your help, well yesterday I did go to my LFS and the guy didnt give me readings but pretty much said they were 0 and were better quality then his marine tank. I am going to buy an API kit in a minute online and will continue to do water changes. So just to clarify you guys don't think...

I just left them in bag for 30minutes in the tank adding water periodically, I've done a few water changes- i did one two days ago and I am going to do another today. Should I just keep performing water changes and wait?

It was being us in a stocked tank before however it wasn't kept wet for a few hours. But I don't understand why nitrate/ammonia levels haven't gone up?

Yeah the filter media is already mature and all of it is mature media. pH is just slightly acidic, I know the hardness of the water is a bit high. But ammonia is 0, same as nitrate and nitrites. I added guppies as I presumed the filter media would be mature and already have mature bacteria...

Hi, I am new to the forum and have just got back into fish-keeping after a few years out. Any ways I recently got a second-hand 125 Juwel tank. I did the usual standards of a fish cycle. After the first week I added a few guppies, a betta (I know this is frowned upon but every betta/gupy pmix I...
