I would suggest a call to Trading Standards. Similar happened to me about a warranty with my laptop, it died 6 weeks out of warranty. Trading Standards said to write to them quoting 'sale of goods act 1979' which states that electrical goods should be of long lasting, effective and satisfactory...

I have 2 other tanks that i have never ever had a problem with. I have one set up for goldfish (2 goldfish in a 45l tank and set up with filter and lights etc) and other is a tropical tank which is a community tank. Both other tanks have live plants it that have grown well. But i havent had a...

we might be having the lights on for too long then. My partner turns them on at about 8am and then they go off about 11-12pm. So looks like i will have to clean them out, again, and then visit the fish shop tomorrow about the snails.

Ok, have checked everything. My tank has 7.4 gallons and wattage for lights is 11w. Thats means that the wattage per gallon is 1.5 watts. Is this too much? I had no idea about this. it dont even look like the sort of alge that suckers would eat, it looks odd.

Right, erm, how do i find out that then? Is this likely to be te problem?

Whats wpg? is that the rate the filter is working at? its filtering 60 litres per hour. My tank is about 30 litres.

I have a small tank that has 2 baby angel fish in it. The tank is out of sunlight so i cant be that. there is no plants in there at the moment as when i put plants in there 'brown alge' started growing. There is a rock in the middlw that was from a aquarium shop, but was cleaned before putting...

i have to say my Angels at the moment. just bought a new tank so that i can have them. I have 2 and two and they were 12 weeks old when i got them, they were the size of a 5p. They always hid and never came out and had to serch for them in the tank. Now they are swimming about in the open, wait...

I have tested the raw water for NitrAte, its not as high as in the tank, approx 30ppm. I am testing the water with a liquid testing kit. I havent seen the strips, but the liquid form was advised by my LPS. Any suggestions on how to get the levels down would be appreciated.

jolaf, i'm not sure if you mean the water change or testing water with the fish in the tank. I did a 30% water change and fish was in the tank, but i treated the water and heated it in a different container before transfering. I tested the water in test tubes, without fish obviously cos they...

I did a water test (Ph, Nitrate, Nitrite and Ammonia) yesterday, The Ph, Nitrite and Ammonia levels were very good. But i'm having trouble with the Nitrate levels. Can anyone give me advice on how to lower it, its very high at the moment. I have done 2 water changes (1 yesterday and 1 today) so...

I'm so glad my bro asked now cos i never knew any of that stuff about either the Brita Water filter of the dehumidifier, so it is interesting to know. Thanx everone

lol i wont 4get the fishless cycle platyfreek, the tank has been set up since last week and its gonna stay fishless for about another week since i STILL aint decided what i want. lol I think i'm gonne get a dwarf gourami and cories, MAYBE. Still not made mind up! lol Typical woman! lol

ok. I hate my bro sometimes cos now he has said to use the Water Filter that i use to drink from. I'm gonna give up listening to his stupid ideas and do water changes the way i have always done it. But now he wants to know about the water filter idea! Is he just daft?

I dont mean to sound daft, but what are you all talking about? It all sounds very interesting and everyone seems to rate it, whatever it is. lol

I know this is really odd question, but my brother suggested to me yesterday to use the water out of the dehumidifier. I know it is distilled water once it is collected in the machine, but is it actually safe to use in a tank when doing a water change? I have NEVER used it in a water change and...

Thanx for you help Siamese Fighter05 (or Dan :nod: ) I have now got a sorting tray on my desk with loads of bits of paper in of stuff that i have printed out. I'm going to have a look at all the fish suggested and see what i like. I like the idea of moving fish i have already into new tank once...

My mature tank is a nice community tank! all fish are nice. Perhaps nice is not the correct term to use illusion54, we all have to start our tropical fish hobby somewhere and mine is with 2 reasonable sized tanks. I have printed off the reply you put dwarfgourami because there is a lot of...

its mainly my b/f thats moaning. lol. all he says is that he'll buy the stuff to set the tank up, but only if we get colourful fish, which is why i started with the neons and glowlights etc. but i want the second tank to be MY tank. lol. I've seen the frogs in my local shop, and am a bit put off...

Anyone else with other ideas? itching to get tank set up and to know what sorta fish to get. Also does anyone know of any web sites that let u type in a kind of fish and then it gives u a list of fish suitable, ie type in Neon Tetra and other fish are given in a list that will go well with neons...

i know about the shark, have arranged with step-dad to have the shark if it out grows my tank as he has a 200 gallon tank. the question i wanted answering is what kind of fish i can have, i want to get away from only having tetras. Kelley

It is 54 litres/ 12 gallons

Hiya, i have had a tropical fish tank for a while but was given another tank for free. I would love any advice that anyone could give me about what to put in it. The current tank that i have has :- Neon, Glowlight tetras, adult guppies and numerous baby guppies, penguin tetras, silver tipped...
