Thanks Gruntle.   Re-reading the article, I see where I have gone wrong.   I have done an 80% water change today, hopefully things continue as they should and it's not all toast now.     It's a learning experience, at least I'm doing it without the fish!

Hello,   After my initial attempt at cycling my 125L tank for 33 days without any drop in ammonia, I cleaned out the tank and filter completely and started again.   On the second attempt the only difference was that instead of using water from the tap I filtered if through a Pozzani to remove...

Thanks both for your information.     KittyKat: I have been reading Nitrite almost daily, and it's always at 0.  I have read that it can produce poor results if it's off the scale, I will do a diluted test with 10 ml water and the same amount of reagent tonight and see if it reads anything.  ...

Hello All,   I am sorry to be having to ask a fishless cycle question when there is so much information available online, but here goes again…   My tank is a newly set up 125 L Fluval with an Eheim Professional 3 filter.  I measured the water going in and there is 112 L.  There is a 1 cm think...

OK, will test the tap water when I get home, thanks for the re-assurance that it's OK so far.

Hello All,   I have a new setup as follows:   Roma 125 tank Eheim Professional 3 250 filter   I put 1 cm of Tropica Plant Substrate in a couple of days ago, then 3-4 cm of gravel that came supplied with the tank over this, a medium piece of washed in fresh water bogwood from Petsathome and a...

That's great, thanks both, it makes sense.   And apologies this was posted yesterday as well  as today, I did not think that this had posted correctly (new to the forum thing)...

Hello,   I have recently taken delivery of a Roma 125 tank with external Eheim 2071 Professional 250 filter.   I see on the spec of the Eheim that it is for aquariums of about 120 L and up to 250 L.  On the filter, I can slide the on / off lever and this increases and decreases the flow of...
