Hey, today my fully cycled established aquariums heater and filter lost power for an unknown amount of time, it was a localised issue and not a whole house power cut so we're not sure how long it was off. We turned the light off at 10pm last night and when we went to turn the light on again at...

Fed the tank for the first time since noticing it and have observed it getting food that has sunk past the melee of larger fish feeding so it must be eating. Hasn't came far off the gravel yet, when it moves around it stays low but it must be doing a good job of hiding if we haven't noticed it...

Last night I was amazed to find a little baby platy, I assume its a platy as all the fish I've had in the tank have been male except a female platy. This platy died about a month ago though so I wasn't expecting to find this. Its got plenty of hiding places it likes hiding in the live plants and...

Thanks! I haven't lobbed anything in thankfully and will try what you said tonight. The plan is to vary between flake and pellets as the staple diet and do the bloodworms a couple of times a week.

Hi, Looking for advice for a first time user of frozen bloodworm for feeding. So far we've just used flake but our latest additions 'glass catfish' never seem that bothered with it, I've bought some pellets but also read that they (and a few others in the tank) like bloodworms as an addition /...

Went out for an hour came back and it was dead. All other fish seem fine, parameters are fine but will do a water change in the morning as it wont hurt. Thanks for the advice everyone.

I don't have a gauge on what's heavy, but it does look quite fast actually. Would take a video but I don't think the quality will be good enough.

This is the tank Its right at the back on its side at the moment so I can only get this badly zoomed in one at the moment. I has the water tested yesterday at the local specialist shop and all levels were good.

Hey All, we have a female platy in our tank that has started acting odd in the last two days and we're not sure if it could be ill or just be due to pregnancy. Yesterday we noticed the platy lay on the floor of the tank in various spots moving slowly from spot to spot, I did some googling and...

Hey! I'm Tom, my parents got a 125L tank about 2 months but I've been doing all the maintenance for them etc, found this forum coming up a lot whilst I was searching for tips so thought I'd just join. They had a tank when I was a child but this is the first time any of us has had one for 15-20...

Sorted it, ended up having to take the whole wall/attachment thing off like this Then managed to pull it off the inlet, took a bit more force than I expected. Whether that's normal or the seal was unusually tight I'm not sure, but I imagine I'd be able to do it without lifting the whole...

Not sure about sucker feet cant remember seeing anything like that when we put it together, I gave it a bit of a tug but not too hard as didn't want to risk breaking anything. I'll have another look tomorrow. Thanks!

Hey thanks for replying, I can get the top off its the actual pump that I cant lift out of the casing. I detach the outlet pipe, but I cant lift it out it seems to be latched in.

Hi, my parents got a Juwel Rio 125 about 2 months ago, but I do all the maintenance and cleaning, I found that they recommend cleaning the pump once a month but I cant figure out how to remove it from the casing. I saw a video of a guy and it appears he just lifted it out using the plastic tab...
