Ok thanks

Thanks I have already done this. But I saw a post on the net, where it said this can damage your filter.

I have a fluval 107 on my 70 litre tank the flow lever is half way, I have celestial pearl danios, and Ember Tetras, will these fish be okay or will I have to put a sponge on the inflow pipe, something I really don't want to do, I would rather just leave it clear.

I do 25% water changes with gravel cleaning, and I have a fluval 207 external filter in a 125 tank, I was feeding once a day. But have been trying out twice a day. Maybe should cut back to the one a day.

Do you just leave it. Or get rid

I've got rid it once, but here it is back again.

In a tank where plants are well established how many of you still use plant fertiliser. I do but thinking do I need to

Cant believe its a different fish, after been the scalet pimpernel for 3 months and being away from the black phantom Tetras,he orshe is out swimming in the open going along the tank, I'm seeing him all the time

Well imoved it my other tank, where the biggest fish is a green neon tetra, he has been swimming about since going g in, and is feeding, let's hope he's happier, I no its not ideal to have him on his own, but tank is at its capacity..

I havea black phantom tetras in the tank who do a lot of chasing each over around, maybe that's what causing him to hide, inmy 70 litre tank I now have a few Green neon tetras,some Ember tetras tetras, and a few celestial pearl danios in the ta k, as he is small maybe he would fit in there...

I have to admit I was not looking forward in changing fish over, especially when my 125 tank has lot of plants and wood, but I thought I will give it a go, I was surprised it was relatively easy, it's done, and looks better thanks all for your input this site is definitely the best on the...

I suppose I could, but they are a similar size

Where I come from, don't know anybody else with aquariums

No just tetras, apart from harlequin Rasboras, I've no room for more fish.

I purchased a sparkling Gourami 3 months ago immediately on going into the tank it vanished behind a pice of wood with lots of plants behind it. a week went by and I never saw it, I decided it had died and was eaten by the tank fish ,imagine my surprise today after 3 months of putting it in...

I suppose it may be overstocked if I added the 12 black neon tetras, my main reason for thinking it would be okay was. My 125 tank is a juwel and I took away the black box and internal filter, replacing it with a fluval external, giving them more room, I still think it would be possible to...

I have good quality strips stored properly, which I don't use, but reading your post I gave them ago,they seemed OK but,when they came to nitrate, I think they were off, on my two tanks one was 40, the other 80, I then used my NTLabs liquid test, and nitrate came up zero, on both tanks I have...

No I didn't, I should have done

The towel has definitely helped, have you heard of using silicone lube on the impeller post?

I've saw in video, that if you lightly rub a very small amount of silicone lube, onto the impeller post, this can help.

Interesting experience at PAH, I recently purchase 10 ember tetras from PAH, my local excellent fish store does not have them, and said they won't order, saw I saw them in PAH,, on putting them in the tank I noticed one was swimming on its side, and not mixing with the others, so I knew what...

Thanks, I remember my 207 had air trapped, and I read to give the canister a shake, and it did work, so I will try that, but any other suggestions will be welcomed.

on another fluval filter subject, the ceramic pin that holds the impeller, if you unlucky to break it whilst replacing when cleaning, seemingly you could purchase the pin, singularly and keep it as a spare, but now fluval has stopped this, you now have to buy an impeller kit, even if you only...

My new Fluval 107 external filter is up and running, it's in a cabinet sitting on top of a bit of carpet, it has a bit of hum, which I could do to tone done, i have the flow lever at half way, to cut the flow a bit, but has made no difference to the hum, I'm surprised it's louder than my Fluvai...

Thanks for that, do you think a weekly 50% water change would be good, or maybe every fortnight?

There not to many, in my 70 litre tank, I just don't think they go with the very small tetras and danios, your right I probably shouldn't have bought them, but I did, they were the first fish I bought for this tank, I just thought I could squeeze them in the other tank, so I will just keep...

If(9 If 12 black neon is to many would I get away with splitting them, putting in 6. If you think a 50% waterchange would be be better, I will start this Sunday, would that be weekly?

Fish meal, wheat, soya deducted, extracted toasted poultry meal, lucerne protein concentrate, lecithin, krill meal, monocalcium phosphate, yeast products stimmune, inulin, algae schizochytrium limacinum, and as many vitamins that I would be all day writing them down.

Thanks Colin, I will stick a photo up shortly, tank dimensions it's a Juwel 125 litre, length 81 cm depth 36cm, hight 50cm. I do a 25% waterchange weekly, I feed the fish a couple of small pinches once a day, and the Ottos two small cat fish tablets nightly. They get a good variety frozen...

I have 12 black neon tetras in my 70 litre tank along with ember tetras and celestial pearl danios, I would like to keep this tank just for the two types of very small fish, and move the tetras to my 125 litre tank, it would give them more swimming place. In the 125 tank I have, 12 Green Neon...

I cleaned my 105 fluval external yesterday, and there was a live neon inside, returned it to the tank, you might think this is a silly question, but do you get a sponge to cover the bulb end of the filter pipe, or do you take it off, and put the sponge on the pipe.

I am changing my filter in my 70 litre aquarium to a fluval 105 external, I am having celestial pearl danios, and Ember tetras, two very small type fish, will I have to cover the inlet pipe to stop these small fish from ending up in the filter, I have a piece of fine mesh curtain material was...

I've been reading a book that advises inflow and outflow pipes should be opposite in a tank, I was going to put both on one side, would this be okay, I'm talking about a external filter, on a 70 litre tank.

Would you wash sponges, without that came with the filter.

I had a dwarf gourami male the day before, was absolutely fine swimming well, eating well, and no sign of disease, the next day it was dead, would not have been attacked, it was only in with tetras. If my tank is okay when I return from holiday, I will be getting a honey gourami, I've read...
