Hi, Can you let me know the size of the tank and stand please. Cheers

I use the Eheim Air pump and would say that it is totally silent. I tried the tetratec and a few others untill I found one that I couldn't hear, like your husband I will not put up with any unnecesary noise. Hope this helps. Scott http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Eheim-3702-Air-Pump-...A1%7C240%3A1318...

I think that if you change them to greem tubing that they will not suffer from this problem, I think it's something to do with not letting the light in. I don't know how to stop it from appearing in the "over-tank shoulder connector", if it is to do with the light you could colour them or coat...

I was reading on another forum an idea for a DIY Nitrate Filter, it was made by cuting a hole in the bottom and lid of a tub of SEACHEM DE NITRATE REMOVAL FILTER MEDIA, inserting a pipe to the bottom and top of the tub and connecting the lower pipe up to a maxijet 400 to provide the flow and...

I have the Eheim 3702 air pump and it is silent, I had the Tetratec APS50 and found it to noisy. The Eheim has a twin outlet and comes with 2m air hose and 2 diffusers and adjustable outputs for both lines which produce 2x 100lph output. It is a bit dearer than the tetratec but I would say it is...

Thanks very much :good:

I am looking to buy a new external filter (Teratec EX600) to replace my eheim aquaball internal filter and was wondering what the best method of changing the filters was. Do I just swap over or is it best to run both for a while to let the bacteria to establish in the new filter or squeeze the...

Does having a larger filter than is required for your tank enable you to stock more fish than would normally be recomended.

Sorry it's a Sponge

I have a eheim aquaball internal filter and have been given a second one from a friend, I want to use the basket and media from the new one and add it to the one I have already in the tank, what is the best way to clean the new filter media to ensure it is clean and safe to use in my tank as it...

Thanks for the help people :good: , I will keep an eye on them. Just one more thing, do I just wash the veg in water and put in the tank or do you have to do anything to it before you give it to them. again cheers.

I've had them 6 days now, they are about 2" long. I do see them at night swimming around and up the glass of the tank, they look ok but i'm just worried that they aren't getting enough to eat. How long should I leave the zucchini or cucumber in for before I take it out. thanks

I have finished cycling my 60l tank :good: and have added my fish, some neons a betta and 2 clown plecs. I feed the neons flake in the morning and frozen brize shrimp in the evening, the betta gets "Hikari Betta Bio-Gold" morning and night and also seems to like the frozed brine shrimp. I...

I have just finished my first fishless cycle and I was adding ammonia morning and night, but just at the end of the cycle, initially it was added and then I waited for it to reach below 1ppm and then raised it again to 5ppm. It was only added when it was needed, the more ammonia eating bacteria...

I have just finished a fishless cycle last week, it took me 11 days with no mature filter material. I would recomend testing twice a day, I found that the ammonia was being processed in about 8-12 hours and was adding ammonia morning and night, the nitrite spiked and then fell almost overnight...

I am currently doing my fishless cycle of my 14G tank (24"x12"x15") and I am looking at possible stock for it. I was thinking of the following 2x Pitbull Plec 5x Cardinal Tetra 5x Male Guppies Would these be ok together thanks in advance

I am by no means an expert on this subject but I am currently doing a fishless cycle at the moment, you can see my table of test results at the following http://www.fishforums.net/Fishless-Cycle-Q...on-t192879.html my nitrite levels droped to 0ppm 2 days after the last result in the table. As...

Looking in my snail infested tank this morning and I noticed that I now have 2 different kinds of snails, I now have what looks like Planorbids, Ramshorn Snails in addition to the pouch snails that I mentioned before. Are these as bad as the pouch snails. :crazy:

IT isn't due to overfeeding as I am doing a fishless cycle at the moment. Will they just die off as there isn't any food being added or will they feed on the plants I have in the tank.

thanks for the advice, I'll try and get them out. It was my local Pets at Home store.

I'm fairly sure it is the Bladder/Tadpole/Pouch Snails. They are very small so I could be mistaken. Would you keep them or would you try and get rid of this type, are there any advantages in keeping them. Cheers

Cheers GoldLenny I will do that.

I added plants to my aquarium during my fishless cycle and I now have snails apearing in my tank. Do I leave them or do I get rid of them before I add fish. Cheers

I Tested first thing this morning and My readings are looking good: Ammonia= 0ppm Nitrate= 80ppm Nitrite= 0ppm PH= 7.4 do you think that is me cycled and ready for some fish. I will get tests for GH & KH for future Again, thanks for the advice.

I will do, My tapwater bseline test is the results at the top of my spreadsheet. it is only a 22ltr tank for my wee lass. How much Baking Soda do you recomend adding or should I wait till I get a GH & KH test kit first. again thanks for the advice

How do I test the KH, do I need to buy another test kit as I only have the API test kit that does PH, Nitrate, Nitrite and Ammonia. thanks for the help.

I have been doing a fishless cycle for 3 weeks now and my test results have been the same for the past 5 days:- Nitrate = 40+ppm Nitrite= >2<5 ppm PH = 7.4 Ammonia reads 0.25ppm I add ammonia daily to a level of 4ppm. My question is, when should I have a nitrite spike and how long should the...
