Sorry, I think there was somewhat of a mis-understanding caused by my really poor wording there. I understand that we can't nescessarily see external factors and since I started the hobby with next to no knowledge and lost 2 platys I'm CONSTANTLY worrying that things are wrong in the tank, I've...

Thanks for the link, having hard water has definitely made it more difficult to find ideas for stocking but I think I'll go with Endlers, would you have any recommendations for the amount that would suit my tank? If these boxes of glass weren't so expensive I'd buy a much bigger tank right away haha

yeah, I'm definitely not going to try and touch the PH, just trying to find a decent list of hard water fish now!

2 Peppered and 2 Albino

Luckily I don't have the tetras yet, the corys came from a local LFS with the same water hardness that I use and as I've had them for about half a year I think they're doing OK in my tank, I'm always learning so all the responses are things I'll remember in the future.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I don't think I'll be able to make the change to RO at the moment, a shame but I'll keep it in mind for future tanks. When I started out I was painfully ignorant on how to keep fish and had some serious trial and error before I got to where I am, turns out I'm still...

That's a shame, although I didn't want to add more cories due to the size of the floor for them. The cories have been in the tank for almost 6 months now and I haven't seen any issues, they've grown well and seem to be doing fine, is there anything I can do to make the tank suitable for Tetras...

I have just tested the KH & GH using an API test and it took 14 drops for the KH to change and 17 for the GH - from what the instrutions are telling me this is over 214.8 ppm - using a water hardness map is saying it's over 276ppm. I have 2 peppered corys and 2 albino

Thanks for responding, the PH is around 7.6 using the API Master test. It was a user over on an aquarium reddit forum, I have just tested the KH & GH using an API test and it took 14 drops for the KH to change and 17 for the GH - from what the instrutions are telling me this is ober 214.8 ppm...

Hi all, I have a Tetra AquaArt Explorer 60L that's been running for about 6 months https://www.swelluk.com/tetra-aquaart-explorer-tropical-tank-60l/ prior to that I had a fluval chi 25L also running for about 6 months before I upgraded and kept the filter and decor before upgrading the filter...

Thanks for the warm welcome :) I'm not sure of my exact PH but it was at least 7, I last tested it a week and a half ago. My tank is fully cycled with safe levels of ammonia and nitrate now both registering as 0, we also purchased our guppies from a reputable aquatics store who make sure to...

Hey everyone, I'm new to the hobby and just started my second tank - hadn't completed my cycle on the first and have to start over. I'm running a 25L fluval chi with heater set to 26c stocked with 5 male guppies and 1 male Endler. They seem to be having a good time, waters clean and I've run a...
