Hi, I'm still relatively new to fish keeping but have acquired an Aqua One Equience cube tank that I believe holds 160 or 165 litres. I'm upgrading from my current biggest tank which is around 70 litres. I have only used internal filters before but as this is a larger quantity I'm thinking I...

Yes I know it's not ideal, but it's bigger than the tank they are in. I did have them in a small but tall tank and I had intended to get a bigger and tall tank, the big square type but at the moment I have been given this one for free. They are only small angels at the moment so my intention...

Oh that's good thanks. I am hoping it might go down with the addition of the plants too. I have 2 little angel fish that I was hoping to put in but have put it off because of this nitrate reading. So I guess it should be fine to put them in?. It will free up a little tank for two baby...

I have tested it with the kit and it's saying over 40 ppm.

I have always been fine with the strips before as they have worked for me. I did test another tank to check it gave a different reading and that was fine. I was given a liquid test kit among the bits and pieces with the tank and I will give it another go, I've not used one before and I did try...

Well, I might have thought that, however, I used up one tub and started on another so it was tested with two different ones. Thanks,

Hi, I am new on here and have already asked a couple of questions. I have acquired a tank, with a plec, a silver dollar a flying fox and a swordtail. The whole thing had to be transported and we managed to put back about a third of the original water. The tank was filthy and the deep layer of...

Thanks for the replies. When relocating this bigger tank at home I obviously replaced a lot of the water. I have RO water so not too much of a problem however, the tank is still very dirty. It has a good 3 inches of gravel in the bottom which seems a lot to me, but is very dirty. The Nitrate...

Thanks, well maybe I could put just one of the three pieces of wood in, I just don't like the brown water. Not sure what to do about the silver dollar then. He has been in this tank for a while I believe.

Hi, I'm really new on here and you were so helpful with my last question I have another if you don't mind. I have just been kindly given a much bigger tank as I was after one for my two angels which were in a small tank and were fighting. I think the tank is about 70 litres (UK) and it came...

Thank you for the replies. Well it turned out there was more than one, I counted about 4! I bought a breeding trap but have only managed to catch one. The bottom of the tank is filled with the ceramic stones that came with the tank so lots of gaps in which they can hide, which is a good thing...

Hi, I have just joined this forum as I wanted to ask something. I am new to tropical fish keeping and have a biube set up, the cylindrical shaped 35 litre tank. I have 3 platies and two large tetras in it and this morning we noticed a single baby platy swimming around down the bottom. How do...
