Ok thank you.

Hi is this the one that's fine to use please? https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3650574?clickSR=slp:term:play%20sand:1:1:1 Thanks

Hi my 60 lt tank has gotten a population of planaria. I moved all the fish out. All thats in there is sand, filter, heater and small plant and a population of trumpet snails. I wanted to get all of the snails out as much as i can into a small tank. Will planaria try to eat or attack the...

There's one called amazon puffer which are very social between each other and i think they do alright in community with fast moving fish, but best doing a bit of research on this.

How about a small tank in big tank with half cut cucumber?

I found this which i think will be a good read. https://www.fishkeepingworld.com/peacock-gudgeon/

Thanks i think i might give them a try if these don't plan out right.

I bought it for £45 free postage. They allowed me to keep the first unit that seems to be faulty, but to be honest i was going to send it back if second one worked alright.

I think they are getting damaged on delivery.

Oh sorry by the way it is second hand. They have quite a few of them on for sale. Has anyone used them before as one thing i want to find out, in the listing it mentions the plug is jammed into the driver so these i can't plug out easily. I haven't really tried it with force yet. Can the driver...

Hi i have bought one of these as link below but second hand from ebay. https://www.petplanet.co.uk/p11053/arcadia_eco_aqua_daylight_32w_1147mm.aspx?&pf_id=56345 They sent one out but it wasn't working. The switch on the driver was loose but can still slide on and off. I emailed them and they...

I am really sorry to hear.

I don't have experience in keeping aquatic frogs, but if it is general bloat, from what i have read people tried bathing them in epsom salt. They have mentioned not to add the salt to the main aquarium, as it may be lethal but a salt bath may be fine to do. I'm hoping someone can confirm this...

I made a thread about mud fertilizer and they mentioned that it may only be good for planted only tanks or with plants and only a few fish in as it can be harmful to fish.I'm assuming the aquasoil is basically mud fertilizer?

Thanks, i'll find the one i like post it to check if its okay. I'm trying to find finest and softest sand. I've seen that you've mentioned about play sand in another thread, if i've seen correctly. Would any play sand be fine? Is that the softest sand we can get?

That's a really nice looking fish. Sorry not sure on ID. Looks pretty relaxed in there.

Hi, i'm really sorry to hear that. Did the company add a heat pack, or was it a case if temps are already high from one location to the next, heat pack would not have been suitable? Maybe if you can find out how long it took from the company sending it to arriving at your place? There might be...

Thanks for this. I'm going to leave out the idea of mud fertilizer. As long as it says aquarium sand, is it okay? I'm looking for one that doesn't raise the ph.

I don't know many plant names but any easy going plants.

Thanks i'll look into that one. I'm not sure how to upload pics through phone yet, but the tab i have, on the ingredients it says it has 0.025% copper which i was surprised. I don't have shrimp in my tank but i do have lots of snails. I won't be using these tabs anymore.

Thanks for the reply. I read on another thread that they release ammonia if i read correctly, which did concern me. Are they not very good these products? I do have some tablet plant fertilizers. If its not worth going through mud fertilizers route i can carry on with tab form. I thought while...

Hi i am looking into these. What would you suggest will be a good one to go for please and brand wise? I'm changing from gravel to sand and wanted to add some fertilizer underneath the sand. I have seen some gravel type fertilizer i thought will be best as when i syphon the sand don't want it to...

O Oh yeah the one with chip i know is long gone lol. I'll see if i can get pics of the fluval. I'll be giving fluval away but it'll be good to check for next person.

One of the tanks has a chip in corner eventually looks like the glass has cracked around chip. I checked the silicon and its still quite soft. The other one is fluval tank and they usually have a lot of silicon on and its rounded but that one feels quite soft still. They've been through a lot...

Thanks i'll check it out tomorrow

Okay thank you.

Hi, If they have been left outside for over a year, do they have to be re-siliconed? Thanks

That was a nice and really informative read. Thanks

Thanks so much for this. I am going to carry on with bucket route atm to see how much quicker it is. Hopefully eventually i'll get round to using pipe method. Thanks everyone for all the informative input given, you've given so many ideas of ways to make it convenient for us all. I feel like...

I have found out that i have a combi boiler. From what it sounds am i okay to use water straight from the tap? If i run half cold and hot at same time to get right temp. When you say add dechlorinator to tank does that mean mix it in a bucket first with some water the amount needed for all the...

Yikes are they bad to have? I'm not gonna lie they creeped me out lol. They stay under the sand as i never seen them out. Do leeches stay under sand? Thanks i'll try to do some research to see which one they might be.

Hi are there any such thing as freshwater slugs as i can't find any info on them? The reason i ask because i have a 60 liter full of snails and when i syphoned out the sand i found like 0.5-1cm in length and 0.5-1mm slug type creatures at the bottom of the bucket. They are like brown in colour...

Hi i am sorry if this thread has been made before but just thought there may be new ways or equipment people are using. I have a 230 liter tank which has been running around few months and first time i have ran a tank this big. I have only been doing around 15-20% water changes a week and...

If the net goes in okay what if you placed some food in the net like sinking pellets or anything you know they may like to eat and leave the net in there at an angle. When they go in the net for the food then pull it up quite quickly but carefully. Might be a good idea to place it near the...

That's a really nice setup. Are those plants easy to keep?

Thanks that's an idea, yeah when you go to a fish store and see thermometers up for sale you tend to find odd one or two with one degree difference.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up buying a 300w heater just in case. We set it to 31 degrees but thermometer is showing 30 which is not bad. I might add another thermometer to make sure its not a bit off. If so i'll try the suggestions above.

Thanks. I'm just hoping one running heater on its own will get it to 30.

Hi. I am battling against ick and its first time i've had a tank running this size. I'm trying to get temp running to 30 degrees to remove the ick. I have a 150w heater and a 100w in there. At the moment i can only seem to get it to 28/29 degrees max. I'm looking to buy a new heater and just...

I'll find out about the scales. Thank you
