Hi, I have a 105L tank, long. The filter on it is a 1000EF all pond solutions one that, according to the website has a flow rate of 1000 litres per hour. I was just wondering if this is too strong? The flow coming out of it is pretty hefty but it has been running for a good couple of months...

Hi, So I have a 105L tank stocked with 1x Guppy 1x Molly and 3x Tetra (not enough I know I plan on getting more) i also have 6x Molly Fry thanks to the Molly giving birth two days after i got it The fry are big enough now and swim around the tank without being hassled (about 2/3 the size of...

Thanks everyone! I'll do it and let you know of the result. Think this is a useful thread for people who are wondering the same thing?

Great thanks What did you do with the fush while you did this? My tank is stocked, albeit with not a lot

I currently have a stone substrate in my tank but I am looking to change it to a sand or something softer so I can have more variety in the tank How would I go about doing this? I was thinking it would be best to buy something that's "pre washed" so I can do it as quick as possible Any tips or...

Yeah we are aware of all of these problems. Guilt got the better of us though and we didnt want to watch them get eaten. Would your suggestion in this case be letting them loose and keeping those who live?

So I bought a molly a couple of weeks ago... two days later it fired out fry. Saved 1 and have had them in one of those plastic containers that stick to the tank. My issue is that my 105L tank cant take a total of 12 mollies (already have two females), the 3 guppies I have and the 7 neons Does...

Hi I will post all of that shortly however I might have put it across the wrong way It spun when it tried to swim away. It's not swimming and spinning, and the moment its alive but upside down, not moving

Hi I saw today that my white molly was lifeless at the bottom of the tank. Noticing this I got a net to remove her only for her to dart away and then begin spinning and sinking upsides down. I know this is likely swim bladder however there is also red markings, almost like a rash, just before...

If it has no purpose why is it in it? Also what benefit would removing it give?

Yeah I read a lot about not changing it and thought it strange that tetra were recommending it. Just wanted to make sure

I have an easy crystal filter box 600 from tetra that came with my tank. The care instructions aay the pad should he taken out and changed every four weeks and that bacteria grows on something else inside the filter called a biological grid I know that a lot of people say not to change roads...

What's happening is that dust or debris on the waters surface is being kicked around the tank when the air stone is on I have turned it on to see if this will be filtered out

I'm not sure what it is, just looks like small particles of something or other that it pushes down into the water

Hi, I'm running am air stone in my 105L tank but whenever I turn it on it disturbs whatever is on the water surface and makes the water look awful My question is, should I just run it and see if it's all filtered out or should I keep it off? Thanks

So I checked on the 3rd day and there was no change to the ammonia and nitrite levels. Still 3 and 0 respectively. Is this normal

So, I have tank set up and am beginning to cycle. In using ammonia that is only mixed with water (shake tested and read contents) and am using API quick start which has live bacteria. I put a little of the ammonia followed by the bacteria and have waited around 24 hours and tested. There was...

so I began tank setup today. I have ran into a problem. My filter doesn't seem to be doing the job. It came with the tank I got (tetra).It just seems to be making the water vibrate slightly and nothing more. Is this normal? At the time of writing it has only been running for around 5 minutes

Does anyone know where I can purchase a decent 90L tank? Preferable with some form of storage underneath? I've been trying to look but a lot of places don't have that

Thanks, I've been looking at ways to treat some illnesses and will have time to do more. The tank dimensions I intend on having are 76cm x 30cm x 45.7cm.

Ok, thanks. I know where to come if I've more questions

I'll give him a look. I read somewhere about using distilled water, is this something to do instead?

Thanks! I don't plan on having a tank for another couple of weeks so by the time it comes to putting anything in it I'm sure I'll know what to go for! Any other tips would be great, other than that if I have any questions I know where to come Thanks

My plan then was to do that with say a 90L tank which I believe is around 20 gallons. And then gradually add some of the fish mentioned above. Have you any recommended types that live well together? and whether I should put one type in first then add the next and so on?

Perfect, thanks! A cycle with an empty tank is recommended as opposed to one with "hardy" fish in?

So, cycling is probably my biggest obstacle. Is this something that you do once to create bacteria and then carry out water changes?

I saw some stuff about gallon to fish ratios etc. that recommended around 1 inch of adult fish to every gallon of water. Does the same apply in metric or is this information just not true?

Hi, I'm new to fish keeping and am looking for any tips and advice anyone can give. The plan is to keep tropical fish, in a 90L tank starting small and gradually introducing more. Is there anything I definitely should or should not do starting off? Any information is appreciated. I have done a...
