Yeah it was cheap but i was told to get a larger filter. I only had a 200 in a 180 litre tank.... :sad: Thanks for the post funkyhoney.

Hi ppls. I have just fitted an Internal 1200 lph filter to my 180 litre tank and i've noticed its making more noise than my old external hanging filter. I have made sure its not touching the glass or the substrate. :unsure: . Its making a constant umming noise, and almost vibrates the floor...

Hi all. I just bought a new filter for my 160 litre tank. Its an 1200 aquaone with spraybar attachment. I've noticed there is no way of making it any quieter. Its not overly loud but loud enough to make me wonder if its annoying for the fish.Its a medium humming/buzz. :shout: Has anyone been...

WOW!! Thanks for all the info goldlenny. With the filter i do clean it like once a week. It gets clogged pretty quickly. So i clean it as often as possible. i haven't cleaned the gravel in a long time, i have alot of rocks and decoration in my tank and its extremely hard to clean it as often...

thanks for the reply goldlenny. She floats nose up virtically and sometimes loses control near the filter and falls to her side horizontal. Im medicating with "pimafix" and simply adding to the water. Im meding the entire main tank. I dont own another tank to medicate in. Ive fed her a few peas...

My comet goldfish is aprox 5 years old. Lately she's ben having lapses of virtical floating. She floats virtically and on side then fixes herself and continues smimming normally. This has been going on for a week or two now. She seems well, normal apitite. etc. I have been treating her for a...

Thanks for the reply wiggle. I do maybe a third once every couple weeks. and yeah i clean the gravel as well as i can then too. I know i should be tending to them alot more than i do. But its hard to find the time. How do you suggest i lower the levels?? Tankyou :good:

Hi all. i have a nitrate reading somewhere between 40 and 80. Too high?? I havent had any troubles with this before it normally stays around 20. I have a few large river rocks i just put in couple weeks ago and i havent done a gravel clean since. What to do?? thanks guys. -_- -_-

Hi all. I just have a question about one of my black widows. I have 4 black widow tetra. 3 are new to the tank and one is about a year old. The older one is maturing and greying off, but is being he bullied by the new three. I noticed this the other night , and it has continued.(especially...

Thanks alot for your indepth post. I have just purchased a master test kit and all conditions are spot on. I was in the local aquarium and the owner informed me that the fluff on the new silver dollars is most likely stress coat. After doing all the tests, and finding all is spot on i have...

Hi all. Can ppl please post on the best way to put a fish to rest....Thanks :no:

Thanks for the reply Wilder. Ill put her aside deffinately. None of the other fish seem effected at all. But i dont know how long that will last. I can only hope for the best from teh rest of them. Thanks for all your help wilder......

Thanks Wilder. Yer she does swim to one side. I dont think there is much i can do for her. They are mid tank fish but she is hiding up top in one corner. The black stuff is in side her gills on that same side also. Her gill is flaring. Should i worry about meds. Or just let her pass??

Thanks for your reply Paula. The tank isnt near a heater, it does get morning sun tho. Ill limit the amount of natural light they get and post in the near future. Thankyou

If anyone can help me , why does my tetra (30w i think??) heater not keep my tank at a nominal temp. I need a 25 degree but set it at 23 to allow for the difference. Any given day the temperature can fluctuate 2 degrees +/-. I have it set in the center with moving water and the thermo at one...
