I was adding 4 ppm of ammonia which dissapeared in 48hrs (went through this process twice to check it was correct), stopped adding ammonia last Thursday, nitrites went up to 2 ppm and nitrates to 40ppm, did a 50% water change on Saturday, nitrites were 1ppm yesterday and 0.25 ppm today.

Lol ok I ave one yes and one no! I'm still on the fence then! My ammonia is 0 btw :) further debate needed from all you fish experts! :)

Hi all I have been fishless cycling my tank for 4 weeks now, I am safely through the ammonia stage and nitrites are dropping - currently 0.25ppm however I don't wan to keep adding ammonia as I think I am so close to the end of the cycle, is it ok to add 4 of my guppies now?

Well I thoroughly recommend them, if you ever find yourself in a position to buy them make sure you do! You won't regret it! Mine have lovely characters so am hoping if I get some more they might get it on in the new tank! Cue Barry White...... Lol :) Wouldn't be brave enough to keep a piranha...

Sounds like a plan, hope the lfs has some chillis as haven't seen them around for a while! Might have to invest in some ferts for th swords by the sounds of things, will keep a close eye on them, guess the tank would look pretty pants if they die off! :)

Tank is 160 litres, am planning to put my current fish in once it has finished cycling (using ammonia method). So am putting in 4 guppies, 3 lampeyes, 4 chilli rasboras, 2 galaxy rasboras and a Snork (assassin snail!). New stock I am unsure of yet probably some Pygmy cories, more chillis and...

Yeah!! Glad someone likes it! Always nice to get other peoples opinions on it. Thanks Snazy! Think I I'll add some more plants after payday! Lol

Hi guys Have just finished aquascaping my new tank what do you guys think??? http://photobucket.com/albums/gg550/SierraJuliette

Thanks for all the responses - a definite no! Turns out I had 2 Marina Slim S20's that came with my tank (Ebay purchase), which the seller didnt even mention, they were squirreled away in a carrier bag. Problem solved I guess!

Like the look of it! I could drive to Birmingham if it will fit! If you could let me know the sizes as soon as you are able that would be great (also if you could have a look at how thick it is?) - fingers crossed!

Hi all, I am in the process of setting up a new 160 litre tank (fishless cycling). I was wondering whether my existing Fluval U2 filter will be man enough for the job? My tank will be quite heavily planted and will be home to "smaller" fish e.g guppies, chilli rasboras, galaxy rasboras...

That's brilliant, thank you very much! Will look forward to it :)

Hi Justin85 Being dense (forgive me im new!) - cant find how to pm? lol Would be interested in seeing some pics and an idea of how much you would like for it - if you could send me some info to [email protected] that would be great Many thanks!

Hi All I have recently upgraded to a 160l tank and now need to fill it with goodies! I am after a 3D background to fit 100cm length x 40cm height and also a Fluval 205 (or equivalent) external filter. Hope someone can help me out! Thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions - will try the lettuce and the bubble trick! Have managed to upload a picture of him taken this morning - still no movement!

Help! My assassin snail went missing for a week (he does this sometimes) but today I decided to look for him and found him underneath my bog wood. I moved him to the front of my tank so I could keep an eye on him and put an algae wafer next to him, but nothing! I have picked him up and smelled...
