You will need a drop checker, some 4dKH solution and Bromo Blue.    You will need to put some 4dKH solution in the drop checker along with 4-5 drops of Bromo Blue, once your Co2 is running the fluid in the drop checker will start off blue, once the Co2 level rises the fluid will start to turn...

Seachem Purigen is one of my favorite products, the secret to its longevity is in the recharging process.   I have recharged a lot of purigen using this method;    Empty the Purigen into a suitable tuperware container and soak in a 1/1 mix of bleach and water. Let it soak for 48 hours during the...

All depends what you want to run with the air pump?   Air stone? Sponge Filter? anything else?

    Once the review section is working we will be able to leave reviews for any fish keeping related items. We will also be able to leave a review for members that you have purchased items from through the TFF classifides section, (same way as you would when using Ebay ect)   WIll be a nice...

Well if it was me I wouldn't worry about your NitraAte level, 80ppm wont bother your fish at all and your plants will be feeding off the NitrAte and be healthier for it.    Just stick to your water change regime and all should be fine 

  Get some pictures up of your tanks, pictures say a thousand words 

Agree with Mike, but if you prefer to buy ready made ferts there are lots of options available.    To name a couple; Seachem Flourish, Tropica Plant Growth Premium Fertilizer.    If you want to go a little further you could add Liquid Carbon to help your plants process the nutrients more...

  When the spray bar is positioned as MBOU has described the water will hit the glass at the front then flow down the front, then along the substrate. Creating a circular flow from front to back. (as long as the filter flow is strong enough)   Obviously tank decor will also have an effect on the...

to TFF   Your filter pipes will fit the heater fine, if you struggle just dip the end of the filter tubing in a cup of hot water and it will be nice and easy to push over the fitting on the heater.    Cheers Dan

As a child I loved playing board games, these days it seems that kids just play on computers so board games dont get a look in!!    One game I used to love playing was pass the pigs, simple but fun 

  PM sent with payment details 

  I assumed you were going down the Cichlid route what with the rock placement, you can get away with using gravel but the Cichlid's would definitely prefer sand    Either way keep the pictures coming 

Looks nice    Looks like you are doing a fishless cycle which is good to see, what are your future stocking plans?

If your reading's are correct and your tap water contains no Nitrate's, as long as you are doing regular water changes I wouldn't worry about your NitrAte level because it should never get so high in order to effect your fish. 

Apisto's occupy the lower part of a fish tank as do Panda Corry's and BN Plec's.    If your Apisto's were to breed and lay eggs your BN Plec will likely try to eat the egg's and the Panda Corry's would likely get attacked by the Apisto's.   For these reason's I would say that your stocking will...

Clown loaches need be kept in large groups, therefore require very big tanks. Can I ask what size your tank is?   It may be that the one you had is rather shy as it has been on its own, but give it time to get used to its friend and they should be fine, but bear in mind they should be kept in a...

I have to say it would make a lovely desk top shrimp tank.   But to keep fish in there is wrong IMO.

That is one busy tank!! The fish are so huge they look like they are falling over one another.   Can I ask what sort of filter you are using?  

That's a good start, are you going to pack the tank with live plants and moss?    Shrimp love to graze on moss and also like plenty of hiding spots so they will be grateful for the cover. 

A variety of things like New Life Spectrum Granuels, Hikari Micro Granules, Tetra Prima, Algae Wafers, Frozen Blood Worm/Brine Shrimp. And now and again some blanched Spinach or Broccoli. One day per week I don't feed anything.   It's always a good ideal to keep your fishes diet varied so that...

It depends on how much you are injecting in to your tank.

The worst thing for me is when you give a friend advice on stocking their tank, you explain how many fish and what species can be kept together, and the tank is then fully stocked.    Then a few weeks later the tank is loaded up with fish that are unsuitable for the tank and fish start to die...

Welcome to TFF

The FE I use are checked/tested each and every time they are refilled, I would assume that as long as they pass the tests they can be refilled but I may be wrong.    I pay for an exchange service so its annoying when you take a nice shiny empty FE and get given a tatty one back that has clearly...

Just to add to what has already been said Liquid Co2 can also be used alongside Pressurized Co2, therefore adding a second source of carbon for your plants to utilise.    Liquid carbon also acts as an algaecide which helps against algae build up  

   don't tell me you have almost used 5kg of Co2 already!!   It's a good ideal to have a spare full FE that you can use when yours runs empty and the other is being refilled. Just contact your local FE companies and ask for quotes for re fills. The prices will differ a lot from one place to...

Here you go   84 Litres 18 Imp. Gallons 22 US Gallons    

What size Edge do you have? is it the 23litre version? if so does it have the LED lighting that comes with the tank?   If you do have the 23litre Edge with the LED lights you can upgrade to the LED light unit that comes with the 46litre Edge as it has double the amount of LED's.   Hope this info...

Looks nice,    If you want to keep corys you should go for either Salt & Pepper or Pygmy Corys, Pandas will be too big for your tank unfortunately.   And like Eagle said you would be best off with a group of 6 or more, and then your tank will be close to fully stocked. Maybe room for a small...

Slim is correct, this was my experience when changing from Excel to Neutro Co2.    Nothing else in my tank was changed only the brand of liquid Co2 with bad results. Excel has it under control now. 

  As far as I am aware Excel contains other ingredients that Neutro does not, each contain mainly Glutaraldehyde.   I found Neutro useless for treating BBA.

Yes you can, 

Ahahahahaha yea can you imagine. Honestly officer it belongs to my fish lol   Well have a guess what my missus does for a living!! so she would put a good word in for me 

Well you cant plug them in the same socket because 2 plugs wont fit   but you can buy a multi plug and use that. I always go for multi plugs with surge protectors just to be on the safe side. 

No problem 

  A lot of people do but I am a bit anal about it!! just hope the police never come to my house because all the powders along with a set of scales would not look very good in my cupboard 

Here you go, there are loads on Ebay;    http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313.TR7.TRC0&_nkw=aquarium+air+pump&_sacat=0&_from=R40   Just aim for a pump with over 200Lh, I use a 100Lh pump on a large sponge filter and it works fine so for 2 you would want at least 200Lh
