hi, just a quick question i have just done readings on both my tanks 125l ammonia just under 0.25 nitrite 0 nitrate 10 27l ammonia 0.25 nitrite at least 4.0 nitrate 5 does this mean i am going through a mini cycle after taking my 2nd filter out. i have just changed slightly under 50% of the...

thanks for the tip. my local store as a pond section, will take a look :)

thanks for that. when my big tank is cycled i will try this then put it back in my smaller tank. i have had the marina cartridge in a few months now and never replaced it just washed it once or twice with the fish water. do you think that the marinai25 could have a beneficial effect on the...

ok, so i just took what i believe to be my lesser of my 2 filters ( marinai25) out of my 27l tank and put it in my 125l tank. i have also put my guppy in the big tank. so now i have, 27l - as 6 neons, 2 small corys with established fluval mini filter. 125l- 1 apple snail, 1 guppy and 1 platie...

thanks i will give it a go later. this as all been a learning curve, i will get there eventually ;)

yeah, my intention is to keep my smaller tank going but just lower the stock slightly. it is a lovely set up tank and the fish are really happy and healthy :) i will try your first suggestion and put my fluval mini in the large tank and leave my marina i25 in the small tank. im pressuming my...

hmm youve just give me an idea. my smaller tank as 2 filters in it. it as 6 neon tetras, 2 small albino cory cats and one guppy. could i move one of the filters into the the big tank with say half my stock. would this work. that way i can keep my 27 litre up and running, i love this tank. i...

my 27 litre is overstocked dut to bad advise. im in the process of rectifying this by getting the bigger tank and when it is cycled i will take a few out and put them in the bigger tank. dont get me wrong i do not mind weekly water changes at all and on a number of occasions have done several...

i do have a 3gallon hospital tank up and running with 10 platy fry in. it as a bottle like air pump with a blue sponge inside it and stones in the bottom bit. i could try open it up and cut some of that out. thanks for the idea :-) i think i will stick with the fish in cycle now i have already...

my tap water doesnt have nitrates, i tested them :-). i have just took the snail out of a 3 gallon tank with 10 platie fry, thats another story lol. my fish hobby as been quite interesting so far, i bought a platy fish, put it in my 27 litre and it developed ich within a week, i took it out...

hi, thanks for the idea, my 27 litre as a fluval mini wich just as one relatively small sponge and a marina i25 filter in there which arent sponges, its a slim cartridge. should i take the sponge out of the fluval mini and squeeze it in the new tank filter. the filter in new tank is a bioflow...

hi thanks for youre reply. no i have not done a fishless cycle. i bought the tetra safestart and was told it is safe to cycle the tank with fish this way and not to change the water for 10 days after adding it. although this does seem a little extensive. my nitrate is 5, just realised i wrote...

hi all. im relatively new to fish keeping and looking for a little info from more knowledable people than myself :-) a couple of months ago i set up a 27 litre tank, waited a few days then added a few goldfish as advised by my local pet store. needless to say they died :( i knew nothing about...
