Thank you for all your replies! There seems to be a few ways of maintaining a low level of nitrate! The best and foremost solution is large water changes, but there are obviously other solutions too, which I was unaware of before I asked this. Plants seem to be a good way of having a small...

Hi all! I was just wondering if there are other ways to lower nitrate other than just water changes? Are there certain plants which do this, or a type of filter? Reason i'm wondering this is because i'm struggling to get my nitates down from around 40ppm. My tap water is 5ppm. I figure as i'm...

Thank you for the advice on the frogs, i'll stay away from them then, didn't realise they would be such trouble, which is a shame as they would of added something totally differnt to the tank! I'll go ahead and get the rest of that list then, once i've gotten a load of new plants all settled in...

Hi! I just wanted to get some opinions on my planned stocking for my tank in the coming month. So first off i'll give you some details! The Tank. Its a 130L tank (aqua one 620T), it has the built in over the top filtration which has been fully fishless cycled. I'm planning on also adding a...

I've always used plastic plants and am considering changing to real plants, but I need some advice please! Firstly I have a fine gravel substrate, do I just dig the plants into it? Then how do I keep them? Do I have to add some sort of plant food? I've seen on this site people talking about...

Thats very true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Many of the corys grow to be about 3 inches, but I am after something smaller, like the two mentioned above.

Im after a shoal of 6 corys, they must not grow too big and must be good to look at. I'm considering either panda, or julii, but dont know which to get. The pandas are half the price of the Julii's, is there a reason for this, i.e are they rare? Thanks in advance!

Okay, thank you! I will be off to homebase tomorrow, and will also enquire about media at my lfs.

I dont know where to start to look to get some pure ammonia, can you guys help please? I live in England, so if any one could recommend a shop/product I would be gratful! Thank you!! :rolleyes:

Hi delta. Your interweb is working correctly, it is a 130l tank. I didnt know that about the danios, so I will exclude them. I have also read up some more on them, and found if they are kept in tanks smaller than 4' then they tend to get bored and start nipping. As I have a tall tank I am...

Hi all! I'm very new here, just got my hands on a aqua one 620t. It has a foot print of approx 2' by 1'4" and is 3' tall. I'm currently doing a fish less cycle for my filters, the in hood one and a fluval u3, so this should provide twice as much filtration as needed. I was wondering if I would...
