HI Colin, My guess is that it is not the disk. Verbatim are some of the best disks on the market. They use a proper ink that does not degrade like most of the other brands. Getting the drivers is as simple as going to the support forum on the manufacturers site and you will also find informtion...

Never heard of that one. I use the tetra aquasafe and have found it quite good. It gets rid of you chlorine/chloramines and heavy metals. I also tried a few other types and did not find them as good. What ever conditioner you decide to use just make sure that it gets rid of all 3. If it does it...

What is the solution called

Hi Rewlyn, I would recommend using the tetra aquasafe for getting the chlorine out of your water. I had problems with my fish in cycle and only noticed a difference when i changed to this. What i liked about it is it has a blueish tint so that you know that it is evenly mixing with the water...

Hi All, Thanks for all your kind words. I was pissed but what can you do. My daughter was so happy that i could not take that away from her. Rewlyn, Keep up with your water changes. I noticed mine about two weeks in for one day and after that they stayed a 0. This is very enjoyable now but i do...

Assuming that you have removed the tank from the cabinet you should easily be able to tilt the tank on its side and get it through. This is also assuming the the tank is empty. Also be very careful that you do not break the glass as this would be very dangerous. And make sure that you have...

HI All, I started my aquarium just over 4 weeks ago. I planned on doing a fishless cycle but surprisingly it did not work out the way i wanted. I had the tank setup a few days when i had to go away for the weekend. While i was away my wife and 2 1/2 year old daughter decided to fully stock my...

Hi Kath, I am a newbie as well and also experiance this. From what i understand it could be because of a few things. Make sure you thourghly washed the inside of the tank, Gravel and all ornaments before putting them in. Also on any condition do not add any fish or they will not survive. Go to...

Hi Rabbut, In the job that i work i can get the best filter media that money can buy. I work for a pharmceutical company that process a few hundred thousand liters of water a day. As i do maintenance on a daily basis of industrial pumps the one i will have to do at home will be like a holiday...

Hi, I new but i have put up a thread in the newbie section regarding a fluval 405 and the media that i have put in it. I know the 404 and the 405 are different models but i think the spec might be the same. I do not have any experiance in this and my tank is only running for 2 weeks but 1 hour...

I have a 190 litre Juwel corner tank and have finally got all the sand wood and plants that i would like n it. I removed the internal filter that came with the tank and installed an...

Hi, I received my filter today Fluval 405. This thing is a beast. Up and running in no time. Extremely easy to set up and had it running in 5 mins after tank was full. The tank is running away at the moment with crushed coral sand in it and all the water was dechlorinated. Could be waiting until...

I think i will lean more towards the black graver as i am a newbie and it will help for me to get the experiance. If it comes to it i can always change it in the future. I am going with the fake silk plants as ithis also comes down to an experiance thing.

HI Again, Could you lease let me know if it is ok to use sand in the tank. I was contemplating using sand with driftwood and some fake plants and maybe a few volcanic rocks if i can get my hands on them.

I read somewhere that to take out the carbon and replace it with a blue filter as it catches more of the good bacteria. Is this correct.
