Pas de quoi madame, toujours avec plaisir! I believe your idea with these 2 filters will work well, as you say the tank has not a big biolad. In most cases the L/h declared by the producers aren't the real performance but always a little over-estimated, I've heard that in several forums, I don't...

Last Friday (it was the famous "black" one that is now a big event also in Germany, like halloween etc) I have found a very beautifull tank left in the middle of the street, and I took it to me at home, it is an hexagonal one with a net content of 105 l of water, the bottom is entirely made of...

For me these are gigantic dimensions in terms of aquariums, but I would tend to build a sump for it. The canister- and other filters wont be enough for that size, you will need to have several of them or a very big Eheim classic 1500XL or something similar (this monster swallows 65W !!!) for...

Perhaps it is too warm in the house for this ivy (mine is a cultivated sort for indoor rooms, you can find that everywhere to buy)

It is possible to polish the edges of glass with water sand paper, I've read this today and i need to buy a piece (not more than 80 cents!)

I want to say something about that "Flourish Excel". Are you aware, my dear wgoldfarb, what kind of substance is this actually? In case you don't, I'll say it to you, it's called Glutaraldehyde which is a high toxic stuff and in my opinion shouldn't be used in normal aquariums, it's actually an...

Good luck! I'm waiting for seeing some fish, plants, shrimps and possibly melanoides-snails (give them a try! hahaha). Your current story with the glasses and this dangereous issues produces me an headache, je regrette. I'm neither a biochemist or something like that, just by trying to help some...

Please wgoldfarb can you explain me what "El dosing" means? Happy to hear you are experimented in cycling tanks, that's a useful thing. I would like to give you one more suggestion as for the filter, well you have a canister filter and if you are going to keep shrimps, their little babies will...

Bienvenu (e) !

Dear ClownLurch, can you get this sentence exactly translated into French (I'm la grenouille)? As an old chinese saying explains, "only dead fish swimm with the current", that's wise enough and I don't want to be dead fish.

Hello triple B !

Welcome Vasquez- Jojie!

The ammonia or the ammoniac is the main nutrient for plants, if they "food" nitrates they have first to convert the nitrates in ammonia, which costs them extra energy, so don't be afraid because of this. I hope in the sand for swimming pools there is no weird or non suitable material that could...

I meant "unfortunately you will ALREADY have a...., when puting the plants in the thank, you know my english, and it's logical that the plants will have to fight with the algae that were first there.

The silicon holds where the glasses meet each other, I don't think it will leak at all, you should keep it as a quarentene or emergency tank in any case.

No one of the experts here has come down to give you some advice? That's odd I find, I would have liked, you know my English is comme ci comme ca and I'm not the ultimate expert, though I can tell you some advice but this is still my own point of view and may differ from that of others. First...

I must go out very quikly, I'll rewrite later to you (excuse my English hahaha) just to say I always begin an aquarium with plants from the first (or second) day on, I'll recommend it to you too, now I must leave fast, see you later alligator!

Gaviningram was asking a beginners question, in my eyes it would be possible to keep these fish together in this size if you have one of each in a well stuctured tank with many plants and hides so that they can keep out of the way, if there are some more fishes of different species in the tank...

Hi Eurobeat, I hope I was not to harsh to you and hopenfully you are going well, you know the Earth can be a very dangerous place and there can be at any time some bad invaders from somewhere that want to come to you to destroy you and anythink over their way, don't be too credulous! But maybe...

Oh hello, not really, for some rare fish maybe but not in general, you don't know which fish you would like to have? Your thank is almost at the capacity limit, don't commit the mistake to put much to many fish! I would propose you to take an ancistrus, which is a little pleco species that feed...

Hi Gaviningram, well I don't dare to compete with the very knowledgeable fellows above, they mean it graciously for the fishes of course, but I mean they are too perfectionist and this could be possible to keep these fishes together in 240 l, I hope they wont tear my head off (you know it...

Hi Coraline!

Impressive collection, hello!

Hello!

Hello and good luck!

Hello!

My greetings to you too Jessesun!

May I ask you how old you actually are? There is here no information to deduce your age, you have meant if somebody here is good in mathematics..., well I can't see no information nowhere, for my part I'm 58, next month I will be 59 years old just the 24 of December, it's too late, I feel...

Yes and now to you wgoldfarb, the aquarium looks already fine, you did it. In case I have to clean some tank like this I take it out in the garden and with a powerfull water hose I do the rest (if the thank isn't too big), I do not own a garden but there is a backyard for the tenants, for small...

I'm very curious to understand what "DIO" means!

Count me in!

I'm sorry i never heard the word "Bano" (must be south american), it is something you can smoke?

Well done! Keep it up! And thanks a lot to everybody, I'm learning much of the language and some more other things!

I think the same, don't worry, be happy. I like your fishes, too. To Jenny, who is right of course, I would like to say that the word I had in mind is "skilled" more than "wise" because the latter a little bit stronger is to me (I can't consider myself "wise" at all, I try only!).

Welcome from me too, I think here is no one who is more important or wise than others and this hobby isn't like talking about the relativity theory or so, much easier to learn!, I became disabled too at young years, as well physically as mentally, and in the end you can think it's like having...

Hello and welcome, I'm new here too and a learner of English, excuse me the first thing I have thougth is that if you put some Donald Duck xiphos to the platies they could have a great party altogether in the tank hahaha, excuse me again but I'm really crazy and silly, there is no cure for me...

Hi Maya, your name reminds me of the famous Maya the bee, I loved watching the cartoons on TV being a child and even still now (the old handmade ones from the seventies), I would like to tell you about the Anolis carolinensis I keept during the eighties here in Berlin, the wall of Berlin was...

My dear wgoldfarb, I would like to put you a question, and sorry to the forum because it does not come to the topic, you know I'm learning English and I can't translate this by no means, here the sentence: "Dem ain't goobers, dem's peanuts!" Well it's terrific, isn't it? If you are able to...

Perhaps yes and though they'll never get the Nobel price for this. But I think that theory is completely correct regarding the tank but as for the filter it depends, they can be more or less large filters with its media, I would like to ask, when you are speaking of filter media, do you mean...

Great philosophy, I like that, I'm quite sure we're all living in somewhere that looks as if it were nowhere, that's because the Great One is an eager crook.
