Thanks everyone. Much appreciated!

Hi guys, Hopefully "Cycling" is the right forum as I'm hoping to prevent a new cycle. I have a fully cycled 20 gallon tank running at the moment and the first fish are in there. However, it's running an internal filter that came with the tank and I hate everything about it - it takes up a heap...

I had a similar thing in the UK with a new broadband provider a few years ago. The broadband was supposed to come with a BT email account but they never set it up. All bills were sent to the non-existent email address. Eventually managed to get through on the phone, explain the situation and...

Thanks. Going to do some research into the Hydors now.

Thanks. I'll do some research into the Hydors ?

Morning all, I was wondering if anyone had any experience of in-line heaters? I'm thinking in particular something like the Aquael Flow Inline. They seem like an inherently neat way of heating the aquarium without unsightly heaters in the tank itself, but there seems to be fairly little...

I`ve not used aqadvisor but they certainly look like they do the same job.

That's really annoying. I have a Marina Vue 87 which also came with an integrated light setup and touch control on the top of the hood for the white, blue, white/blue combo. With that one you can still use a timer (or a smart plug in my case) and provided the light is "on" when the plug turns...

My tank uses Dennerle's Diamond Black Crystal Quartz Gravel (https://dennerle.com/en/products/aquaristic/aquarium-bed/crystal-quartz-gravel). Gravel is about 1-2mm size. Rinsed it thoroughly before use and I've had no colour leakage whatsoever. It is very fine and easily disturbed so can be...

It isn't perfect, but thinkfish.co.uk has a tank mate compatibility tool. You can enter the size, volume and filter type of your tank, add fish by species and volume and it flags any compatibility issues as well as giving warnings on stocking levels. Not perfect as I say but useful as a starting...

Thanks Colin, much appreciated. Matt.

Hi all, I have a 20 gallon freshwater tank which is currently cycling and I`ve spent the last couple of months planning its stock. At the moment my plan is to stock it in the following order (with suitable settle-in times in between new additions and monitoring to ensure no ammonia/nitrite...

Morning all, After a little advice. I currently have a 20 gallon tank going through a fishless cycle. Ammonia has started to drop and nitrites have appeared so looking good. My question is about filter media to use in a quarantine tank. My main tank is running an internal filter, picture...

Thank you :)

Good afternoon, New to the aquarium hobby and I have a question about my tropical tank. Over the last couple of weeks there had been a very slow build up of algae on the glass sides. Not much at all and almost invisible unless you caught it at the right angle. I`m dealing with the cause...

Thanks for such a quick and comprehensive response. I've seen before about the lack of API General Cure in the UK due to its classification. I'll have a look at the UK alternatives you've suggested and get right on with the treatment. Thanks so much.

Hi everyone, I`m new to fishkeeping and am currently in the stage of slowly introducing fish to our new tropical tank. Previously it`s had four zebra danio and yesterday we introduced one black molly. At the shop, the fish looked fine and it looked fine when we put it in the tank. However...
