Cheers guy's - appreciate your help. So I tried selling the 107 without success so as I currently have nothing to do with it I opted to put it in. Maybe I will use it later for another smaller tank, (MTS is starting to take affect with me) so I might as well have it working and cycled...:) The...

Thanks for your response, If i were to put on the 2nd one, How would you go about the positioning of the inlet outlet? I currently have the 1 inlet and outlet on the same side, with the outlet pointing away and towards the side of the tank to create a circular stream from the back left to...

Hey all So I have a 243 litter rimless planted tank, 90X60X45 Been set for a few months and is completely cycled and balanced. It has a 1,450 LPH canister filter - Fluval 407 But I have an additional Fluval 107 (550 litters per hour) without use, should I add it to the tank or is that...

Thanks, Kind of got the felling they just want me to eventually need to buy more fish..... Any way, gout shecam prime and gave the tank a nice dose, I understand it detoxifies the bad **** so it's harmless to the fish until the renewed tank in fully cycled...

That's pretty much what I thought. However, would like your insight, as my LFS told me that after the initial water change, I should be adding the liquid beneficial bacteria every other day but NOT to do an additional water change for at least a couple of weeks... Is this good advice? I feel...

Hey - Quick help!!! Just did a water check - Ammonia 0, Nitrite roughly 5 MG/L!!! Nitrate 40PPM Did a 50% water change what else do i need to do??

Thanks man:) Appreciate it I think pretty well, loads of room for them, gave them some blood worms - ate it in a frenzy as always, all seems well, knock on wood

It's done! :) So just wanted to give a quick update - the tank arrived and the switch has been done! It was quite a process! It took the better part of 4 hours in total - I had to construct the cabinet and also took my time with the hardscape - I think it turned out quit well! There is...

As mentioned below, somebody else said not to rinse... lol any way decided to go ahead and just put in a bucket with tank water (did a water change anyway) and will let it soak there until the new tank arrives Tuesday I'm told. Didn't want to quote all you wrote - as it was too long :) Thanks...

Can any body shed some light regarding the transfer of the substrate? I have only a active aqua soil substrate - Is there anything specific I should or shouldn't do when transferring it from the small tank to the new larger one? Thanks

LOL I will definitely hit them up But I think I got a new variation of the syndrome, NTS - new tank syndrome... Don't think I have it in me to have more than 1 - and the MRS. would kill me... But as I know me - will probably want an even bigger one later on...lol Yes, sizes are...

Hey, What is the MTS support group? Yeah, as it is relatively new - don't see a reason to not use them... I am trading in the smaller one back to the store I bought it from + paying the difference and getting the new one To that end, I will have to give the old one back to the store the...

Hi all So after you guy's helped me out with my first ever tank and few dead fish... going on two weeks since last death, so I think all is well :) I have now decided to get a bigger tank and have ordered a 243 litter (64 gallons) open rimless tank (same as I have, just much bigger) I was...

OH wait, Just found a bottle of Flourish Excel can't remember why I got - it was part of a 3 set Seachem pack (photo attached) with the excel, flourish (which I use for the live plants) and Iron, also for the plants which I use. Now saw a video about it - saying it's for black \ red algae -...

Hey all, thanks for all your help, it has been very helpful so far. Additional question if I may - (not sure if need to open an new thread elshwhere for this or not - As for the BBA I started getting, the only product available in the LFS (it's a very big store, mind you, but still -...

Doesn't the API stress coat by definition have aloe vera? supposed to be good for the fish, isn't it? what am I missing?

Cool, thanks for the advice. For some reason most stores here don't hold many API products, Amazon delivery is also crazy expensive here... But will try to find a store that holds it, * I do remember my LFS having API stress coat, is that any good ? Thanks

Didn't even notice he wrote ammonia, thought he said nitrate... Anyway, Just saw some BBA on my spider wood and a couple of Anubis's, so I need to go to my LFS tomorrow to buy whatever bottle needed to treat that, so will also buy shecam prime ? heard it's a good water conditioner, yeah?

Yeah the 3 led's in red white and blue came with it (as did the wooden closet thing it sits on) and with an app to auto set timming... Have the the blue come on, 20 mins later the strong white (to not scare the fish) and reverse when it goes off, the bright one off first and 20 mins later the...

The 2,000USD one would be about 240 liters so yeah, 63 gallons... even my 17 gallons current one was 700usd....

Would love your opinion on my second attempt at setting up my tank, Compliments would be lovely but advice or plain shouting at it's ugliness also acceptable :)

Thanks for you reply, As per the LFS - we have in our area hard water - over between 150-220 PPM so they said the 'buffer' is quite big for changes... never the less, will continue to use the same water conditioner - just to be safe and will continue to check water parameters... On a...

Hey all, Just wanted to say thanks and update the situation: Been a good week + since the last fish passed, The remaining 8 look very good, happy and swimming around joyfully:) Did another test today and decided to not even go about my weekly water change as all the parameters are perfect...

Here is what I found online: Details Microbe Lift Artemiss Salt & Freshwater Water Treatment is a 100% natural expellant for bacterial diseases. It’s a chemical-free, herbal treatment that is effective against a variety of fish illnesses including bacterial dropsy, bulging eyes, fungus, ulcers...

You are absolutely right, I bought a third bottle, based on store recommendation, to use 3 ML a day for 10 days. Photo attached. By the way, sorry for the stupid question ! Which of the two previous bottles is the de-chlorinator? (the one labeled 1 or 2 in white marker on the bottle?) ergo the...

No, according the municipal website, it doesn't, just a relatively high nitrate level and the regular 'stuff' needed to preserve the water Did my second 40% water change this week (recommended by the store owner to double up on water changes as long as fish are dying) and put in 2 doses of the...

This was the method recommended by the store, and that's what I did... Only difference is - they told me, after filling the bag - to pour it all with the fish into the tank... I don't have the products to check those parameters, are they necessary? Checked the conditions again today, no...

Thank you all for your answers. I started the tank with a little food to rot in the first two weeks, added a few starter fish after 2 weeks (2 black molly) added the rest of the fish after another two weeks after water checks... fish bought from a popular fish only store near my house...
