Unfortunately I wont be able to get to a lfs until wednesday/thursday. Will he be ok till then? Would the other fish get it? The white spots are like a grain of salt - how did I manage to get this? I havent introduced new fish since about 5 weeks ago. I actually done a 20% water change this...

My swordtail is all white spots, like tiny deposits on his body (not in his skin), and his tail fin is all tethered. How do I know it this is 'whitespot' and how do I treat it. None of my other fish are showing any signs of this.

ok, you are now my best friend, lol -- Please guide me - where is your thread. drop me a u2u about this, and your advice.

I hear what you are saying, but im in Northern Ireland therefore very few people keep saltwater fish here. Im trying to think out how to do this all myself to make it cheaper. I really have 900 max to spend, to try and get some live rock, sand etc all in that price. If I could see a similar...

okay......... are there any pics on threads here showing this? I was going to buy the tank as a tropical freshwater tank off the net, and buy the sump, skimmer ets seperate. My lfs is offering this tank, with stand, sump, skimmer etc - no rock/sand, for £920. Thought I could build it cheaper...

The tank will come with standard lighting, so I suppose I will have to change the bulbs just for marine bulbs. Why do you mention drilling the tank, what for? I was under the impression the pipes came into the tank through the back part of the cover at the top......?

Has anyone ever converted a Juwel vision 260 for marines? I was going to buy the tank and cabinet and puta sump in the bottom also. Do you use the original Juwel filter box for anything, do holes have to be drilled in the cover for pipes etc etc. All help appreciated as im new to marines...

I have a couple of vans and plenty of help at the ready for all this, but im still negotiating the price with the guy. Fish and corals are sold, as are the lights. He wont sell the RO unit he has, the MV computer and ozone thingy, and will only sell 65% of the rock. Not looking like im going to...

I have an offer on it at well less than 1k at the minute. I know it is worth a bit, but where we are I dont imagine many people keep salt water fish therefore who would want it, apart from myself of course. Should know over the weekend if im taking it or not.

I've decided to try marines and am looking at this set up. I was wondering if some of you could give me an idea what this is worth as it is second hand. I understand the equipment is really expensive to buy new. Description by owner: The tank is aqua medic anthies 120 4' 5" x 2'3" x...

Freswater/saltwater aquariums for dummies books I was thinking of buying these two books for added reading, i currently have tropical freshwater fishies but would like to have a marine set up by the end of the year. Anyone ever read these, are they any good. The reason im looking at these...

I've just bought a Juwel Rekord 120 tank, as a second tank (second hand). My main tank being one of the new Rekord 800's. Point is, I need a filter for it. I was think of keeping it internal, something like the Juwel one in my main tank. I would also like to incorporate the heater inside it...

There's no way 2 Gibiceps would eat that much, would they? Do you slice it or leave it whole and the skin on it? What way will this affect nitrites/ammonia/PH?

How much cucumber? They are about 3 inches long each (2 of them)

Ok ill try that, thanks!

I cant get my Gibiceps to get to the algae wafers before the other fish get to it. I've tried placing it when they are set in a particular place but wont go for it. Any ideas?

Can someone help?

anyone?

Part 1 of previous topic My two thick lipped gouramis were getting bullied by one of my mollies. One had quite a lot of lumps taken out of it dorsal fin and tail and it subsequently died. Also, they wont fight for food when I feed flake or bloodworm and im afraid of them starving. Also I have...

Ok just tested my water there. The results from last friday till today are: 23/01/2009 PH 7 - 7.2, ammonia 0, nitrite 1, nitrate 5 29/01/2009 PH 7 - 7.2, ammonia 0, nitrite 1, nitrate 5 - 10 I lost 2 small PLATYS yesterday, and another 1 today. I have just noticed this evening...

Tank is set up about 2 months, will post test results tonight.

The plecs are only 3 inches long at the moment, but as soon as they reach 5 or 6 they will go to a bigger home. Most of the fish are eating, but when I feed flake the Gouramis wont swim to the top or to flake that sinks to eat it. Plecs dont seem to worried about food either. Havent tested...

I got a 110 litre tank, small platys, black neons, mollies,.... in my sig.

Oh right, so leave the two large sponges where they are? I read that the carbon pad and white pad on top (assuming this is the floss) need to be changed every 4 weeks, so I got replacements at the weekend but never put them in yet. P.S. I really appreciate your help!!!

Okay.......stupid me, i have never rinsed them yet. Will do first thing tomorrow evening. When I remove the filter sponges it will create a sandstorm of particles though wont it? Also if there is anything stuck to the inside of the filter housing will I clean it off too?

My powerhead doesnt seem to be displacing the same amount of water the past few days. The tank is only running about 6 weeks so I cant see how it could be clogged. The output pipe is showing very little flow, e.g. very few ripples in the water as what there used to be. Any ideas?

One of the Gouramis died today :(

anyone at all?

Thats the way I have mine set in my rekord 800

Ah right, get it now. Thanks for the advice!

Oh right - my worries are over then. The air stone does put oxygen into the water also doesnt it?

if not then, how does the water get the oxygen in it? (Sorry if this is a stupid question but im new to this)

Ok forget that then. Ive got a divers helmet with an airstone but i have it on a timer to come on at three intervals, 2 hours at a time. Is six hours enough in the day?

Ive got a juwel rekord 800, and it has the standard filter. But, the powerhead/pump doesnt really agitate the surface of the water, even with the nozel turned up to the surface. The powerhead is a bioflow 400, which came with the tank. Can I put a bigger powerhead in the filter housing - are...

Not a bad idea there, maybe like a thick rubber line (2mm thick). Will give it a try. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I will add the items, T's, flow valve and more air stones and see what way it goes first. One thing im having a problem with is the hose kinking where it goes in under the lid. Ive got a JUWEL REKORD 800 by the way. There is small outshots at the corners for...

I have one of those old diver helmets in my tank, with a single airstone. I have a small elite 800 air pump. I was going to add an old ship and possible one more air operated item, but I dont think the air pump I have is powerful enough. Anyone recommend one, that also is not to noisy. Thanks...
