This is my 240 litre Fluval Roma. We've come a long way from where we started around 2 years ago when it was set up and have thoroughly enjoyed the journey so far. Fish and livestock: 7 male and 5 female Boesemani rainbowfish 1 male and 1 female Praecox rainbowfish (the last pair left from a...

Id keep the filter running 👍🏻 if you've got some fine filter floss in there it will catch the dust and fine particles the rinsing couldn't get out. Plus, you can adjust your flow if its pushing the sand where you don't want it

Ey up Mik, welcome to the forums 👋🏻

Preaching to the choir matey 😅 stuff like gravel is pretty consistent quality-wise from anywhere, so it's a case of shopping round for the best price

Hello 👋🏻 sorry about your losses, looks most distressing! What other fish do you have in the tank?

Is it on any of the other fish? Are the spots only on the fins or on the body too? How long have they been there? Are they getting bigger?

Hello 👋🏻 it depends where you're located? To be fair, amazon is pretty good for most things

That's still quite a lot of fish, you'll be doing a heck load of water changes! I personally love Congos and Emporer tetras, they're stunning to my eye and would choose them over cardinals and rummy nose any day...but to echo above, this is your tank and you've got to love the fish youre...

Hello 👋🏻 welcome aboard! Glad to have you join is, feel free to share some photos of your aquarium with us, we love to be nosy 😜

I really take for granted what I have ☹️ despite us being on a meter, we have never had to worry about there not being enough water to meet our needs. I turn the tap on, and out comes the water. I wouldn't say we were wasteful, we collect rainwater and the lawn gets what's changed out the...

Ooh la laa! Those are gorgeous EK

🥳 Well deserved win!

I think OP refers to the personal banner a member gets when they've won a contest...I think that's a marvellous idea...CaptainBarnicles won pet of the month? Clicks on her banner and ping 😍 Margot the dog 🧐 it's a yes from me

They'll be making their own c02 by tomorrow...

Cuuuute! What did you call him?

What type of algae are you experiencing? How long are your lights on for and what is your water changing regime like? You could post a couple of photos of your tank so we can have a look at what you're dealing with too 👍🏻 it's better to find the cause and cure it rather than rely on the livestock

None! 🧐 a strict weekly maintenance routine is the most effective I'm afraid. Catfish, especially plecos, just add to the mess, snails and shrimp are grazers and will do an average job

I've had it a few times in my tank and it's been a pain in the butt to get rid of, mainly because it's in a south facing room home to 2 huge windows that let the sun in all day, especially so in the summer. For me it's always been in the gravel but I've learnt now to just remove and replace that...

I don't see a link? 👀 orbifolia gets enormous so it will be interesting to see how big you can get it! I don't know which calathea I have, it's got little hairs all over it so I thought it was the Velvet variety...but mines green all over and I've only ever seen velvets with the purple underneath

Calatheas hate me. I'm on my 4th! I've started using rain water now and I use a moisture metre to check before I water it. I still don't really know what I'm doing with it! I know they don't like to dry out, but they don't want to be wet either 😳 seriously, I mean, how do you even get that right??

Salut 👋🏻 thank you for sharing some photos with us, gorgeous!

Lovely lotus, mine died back and went dormant ????:dunno:

This lad will rue the day when the fungus gnats or thrips move in. Good luck evicting them! 🤣 I'm not that bad yet

Bettas are solitary by choice, they don't like to share their space! He sounds like a super grump if he can't even tolerate a snail, save yourself some money and heartache and leave the fish alone to be king of his castle

No, he can't have a man-cave...I need the space for my fishroom 🧐

The male blows bubbles at the surface and makes a big frothy mound that he keeps the eggs in

Perhaps that was it 😅 where are you from originally?

Hello 👋🏻 I know it says you're from Sheffield but I 100% read your post in a Scottish accent....I'm not sure I'll be able to un-Billy Connelly you now 😂 I'm so sorry Anyway, welcome to the forums!

You could do that but honestly in my opinion I would leave it. It looks beautiful, great job 👍🏻

Wowsers, OK that makes me feel better....I dare say once the kids leave home there will be more space for both...especially so if I move hubby into the shed 💡

The price was too good to pass up...and he was just too handsome...and no I'm not ashamed 🧐

That's what I said! Come and tell Mr Barnicles that because he doesn't believe me

I've just noticed my Amaryllis on the coffee table I've just potted 🤣 jeepers

A unit is a piece of furniture...a cabinet, a dresser etc...one of the ones we've gone for looks a bit like this: I don't know the 'proper names' for some of the plants but I could look them up
