Using API Master, but I also have a seachem PH and ammonia patches which match the api results

Fishless cycle add and wait method, there is a link to the log in my sig

Help, I had 19 rummynose tetra in my RIO 400 but 2 have died in the last 2 days. They have no signs of disease and water conditions are good (PH 7.4, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 40, Temp 25) The tank has only finished cycling before the weekend and I had introduced the Rummynose over this...

I will take the 2nd batch please.

payment sent

Are the salifert ones the marine ones? They seem to be the only ones I can find

How many portions do you have left? I will take 3 or 4 if available Might be able to collect as well, save on postage

Cool let me know if they still do

Livestock Wanted: Pair or Trio (1M 2F) Apistogramma cacatuoides (Cockatoo Cichlid) I am based in Croydon, happy to collect if reasonable distance or pay for postage.

I dropped my dosing to 2ppm after the first zero for ammonia untill I got a zero for nitrite as well. When that happens remember to build the dose back up slowly (I brought it up another 1ppm everytime it was all cleared in 24 hours) I would also keep an eye on your ph even though, high Nitrate...

No worries, hope he enjoys them

Been a busy few days so not been able to update the thread, but its all looking good. First plants arrived today (was not expecting them yet!) so have set them up with sand in the bottom of some coke bottles, should give them a hand until I can do the aquascaping in the next couple of days. I...

OK so bought one of the 20 plants for a few quid things on ebay, arrived earlier than I expected but improvised with some washed coke bottle bottoms until I can aquascape properly (over the next couple of days). Anyway not 100% sure what I have got! So please identify if possible

Hey, Are the Bristlenose Plecs still available? If so PM me and I will take them. Cheers

Whats the PH like in tank 2? Nitrates that high might cause a PH crash and stall the cycle

Lol hayley thats what comes of cycling 3 tanks at once!

Crazy couple of days, Nitrites bounced and PH crashed and Nitrate went off the chart, I suspect the Nitrite bounce was related to the PH crash and high Nitrates so did a 100% water change, and while I was at it fitted the 405 with spray bar and changed the powerhead. Things look to be back on...

The editor and the submitted post are not identical, it took me some fiddeling about to get it right, also why I use the ~ on my log to seperate things

make sure you keep changing the water in the bucket regularly, and get another bucket for the platy

What car do you have! Still you get the idea how it might be done?

Does a little red light not go on when you are low on fuel? There is your alarm, could be audible if it was a buzzer or speaker instead of a light

As you may be aware I have an Eagle Aquatic HW-304 running as part of the set up on my Rio 400 tank which has almost finished cycling. Well I thought I would share my experience with it, when I first set it up the flow did not look that great and it was a bit noisy. I had picked up a new power...

Thanks Tolak and Kittykat, to live is to learn

I am guessing fuel gauge

Would not be surprised if there was, if not would not be an impossible build. Just look at how the valves in cistern for your toilet work, hard part would be how to have it alert you when triggered

I can't help with most of your questions, but with regard to the filter I would give this advice. I am assuming the "Parents Tank" and "Growing out Tank" are going to be separate versions of the units you are highlighting, not just sections within the one unit? and if you mean a 1000 l/h filter...

I thought it was the Nitrate that tended to form Nitric Acid to lower ph?

I would have thought this would be the cause, it might be very small particals you cant see that are breaking down

You will get there hayley, your doing everything right just need to give it time

The only thing you can do to control the ammonia untill you get a filter and cycle it is water changes.

I use the API Freshwater Master kit, it has PH, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate which covers most of what you would need to check

:hi: Well sorry to be the bearer of bad news but any tank with fish in will need a filter. In the mean time you need to be changing the water in your tank a lot!! (probably daily as a minimum, if not multiple times a day) I am guessing that you do not have a water test kit? After a filter...

Does not surprise me, bacteria colonies grow exponentially, so the more you have the faster they grow. It why the Nitrite reading spike really high (often off the scale of the test kits) then drop really fast. One thing I would recommend is only dosing back to 2ppm of ammonia until you get your...

Thanks Tom, I am sure it will. Got 3 months to sort something out

Did not know about that one, will have to add it to my visit list. My side of Croydon as well!

Got to love ancient Greek technology
