That is absolutely fantastic, thank you so much, I'm off to look for some Boraras brigittae I have 4 male and 2 female Phantoms atm as o a couple more females too

Aww thank you, I may only be a month in but I'm totally addicted and saving for a bigger tank lol. Java moss, java fern (Windelov?), anubias mini - but I can't remember the name of the big ones at the back lol. So how will I know when my tank is ready for more fish. I'd love to get some blue...

I know I've got quite a bit of moss the ones at the back are growing like wildfire....

My plants are growing well, so hopefully that will be why, I'd definitely like the name of a good conditioner please

Oh at last, some information that makes sense . My plants are growing incredibly well, so that fits. My only question then is that I've been told I need to wait for a nitrite spike then nitrates before my tank is considered cyvled and I can therefore add more fish?

I've been told I need to use Aquadur. I am doing a 'fish in' cycle, 4 weeks in. 60l tank 6 Black Phantom Tetras Various live plants Temp 78° Ammonia is reading 0.2 every day (in tank but also from tap!) Doing a 20l water change daily Adding Seachem Prime and bottled bacteria with every...

It's the fact my tap water levels are so low?

Sorry, yet another question! I have been advised that due to my KH, GH readings being low my tank will never cycle and I should start using JBK Aquadur? Is this something that you think will help without hurting the fish?

That's fabulous, thank you so much

So if my tank tests the same as my tap water should I wait for it to rise slightly before a water change?

NT Labs, pretty simple just adding drops to test tubes??

Tested my tap water after leaving it out overnight and the readings are the same as the tank??? Am I actually doing anything by these water changes?? Multiple test pic is tap water, individual ones are the tank....

Ah that makes sense, I've just tested the water ammonia is at 0.2, so I'm planning on a 50% water change, does that sound right?

Managed to upload a picture, all apart from the tall plant on the left are real, they've been added slowly over the 3 weeks.

Wow, thank you, lots of information to digest. I have an Interpet F2 filter, I will have to look into that and see what it contains etc. I'm realising that I should have done a ton of research before I started this I've tried to upload a photo of my tank but it tells me it's too big? Will...

Hi all, thank you for adding me. 3 weeks ago I was duped into a fish in cycle by a pet shop chain . I have a 60l tank 6 Black Phantoms and numerous live plants. After getting some (late) advice I have been doing 10% water changes every other day and have just received a liquid test kit. It...
