Hi some advise please! i'm thinking about changing the filter on my fish box 40, if i do what would be the best one? I have 4 pygmy puffer fish.... thanks in advance!

looks lovely, but your heater should be at an angle for best results

Ok that sounds easy enough! I'll let you know how it goes

It's a hair algae I think, it's clinging to the side of the tank and well everywhere really! I've been cleaning every 3-4 days, tank needs to be moved, it's not in direct sunlight but i think the area is just too bright... The Betta is a happy chap, got some snails, shrimp and a frog with him...

Hi, I've got a tank with a terrible algae problem, I was thinking about putting the fish from there in to another tank, but I have a Betta in there will they be ok? it's 4 neon tetra's and 3 Chili rasboras...don't want them to get hurt! Any advise would be great

sorted! shoved some cardboard underneath, thanks very much!

Have tried adding water, will check to make sure it's level... thank you! no chili rasboras, bumble bee gobbies and a killi fish

Hi, my fluvial edge is driving me nuts! I keep getting bubbles on the top, but only on one side, I sweep them away with a magnetic cleaner, but within a few hours there back! How do I stop this happening? Any advise would be hugely appreciated I seem to have posted this 3 times! god knows...

your lfc should have them if not try ebay.... failing that squish them! the fish will soon hoover them up..

Their a pain in the bum! get some assassin snails, they will sort them out, look pretty too!

Hi there, I'm no expert but I think your corys will suffer in the orb, I assume you have the Bio orb media in the bottom? it will damage their barbs, they really need sand or smooth gravel... you could modify the orb so you can put sand or gravel in, it's very easy to do

blimey....think my computer had a moment then! only meant to do that once!

brilliant! thanks for your help

Is a 40cm tank too deep for aquatic frogs?

Is a 40cm tank too deep for aquatic frogs?

I see, thanks for the info, I'll see how I go with it...best of luck with yours

really?...puft...don't really want to change it again....all my shrimp have had babies since I put it in there, so it must be doing something good....

Hello.. I've got fluval stratum substrate in my shrimp tank which is great but i'm unsure of the best way to clean it....when I do my water changes I get all the bubbles out but end up just making mucky water....the gravel cleaner just sucks it up (as you would expect) but then it just cloggs...

thanks, i thought as much but just wanted to check!

I've recently changed the substrate in my shrimp tank to the fluval shrimp substrate along with a new filter, I did put some of the old media in, but I now have a lovely cloudy tank! is this a bloom? if so what do I do? So far (I hope this is not wrong!) I've cleaned the substrate as best i...

Hi, I've taken some pic's, can I send them direct to you or do I have to post them on the forum?

they will often do that, put some blanched courgette in and see what happens! PAH will give you a refund/replacement if it is dead...

nice to get good feed back! I (for my sins) work at PAH!

keep the biorb pump and buy a airstone ...

yeah, just ripped out the middle thingy, turned it upside down and filled the hole with sealant... the fluval mini sticks fine to the side but it's only good for up to 45 ltrs, so maybe the Fluval 1? not sure, anyhow it suckers fine on to the bowl!

I've put a fluval mini in my 30ltr orb, sticks to the side just fine! Changed the substrate to sand as well....

Thanks I'll do a big water change and see what happens

no the light is on for 6 hours, off the rest of the time, not in direct sunlight either...

it's on at night for about 6 hours..

Help please! My 30ltr biorb has very green foamy water.. I keep doing water changes and tests (which are fine), but it's still the same, what an I doing wrong?? I have 4 corys, 4 snails and some cherry shrimp in there, they all seem fine. Abbie

thank you both for your help

so should I just rinse it in tank water when I do a change and not worry about the carbon?

Hi, I have a Aqua Flow 200 in my tank, and it's recommended that the filter be changed every month...should I do this? will it not get rid of all the good bacteria? it does have carbon pieces inside, will they still work? Thanks in advance!

yes i've 4 live plants, it's only a very small tank 19ltr, it's open at the top with a little waterfall type thing ( it was a return at work, I paid £1 for it! ) not sure i would fit a power head in it.. the light is LED, not the faintest what the wattage is! I might try taking the waterfall...

It's not near the window but it is in a light room, it's a Fluval Chi so there is not too much flow, how would I increase it?, I only have the light on for about 4-5 hours a day..

I've suddenly got lots of green 'hairy' stuff in my shrimp tank, it's appeared overnight almost, what the best thing to do? The shrimp are all hanging about on the filter at the top of the tank, they all look ok, still red! Should I just do a water change and clean? I've done a water test and...

Yes that fine, where were you thinking of meeting? Around lunch 1pm would suit me if that's ok? Would I be best to bag them together?
