I think it is about 120l

Thanks for the advice everyone. I only have 7 fish to transport (one of my Blue Gourami died last week! He must have been scared about the move...). Anyway, I'm going to put the fish and some of the water into a bucket with the heater/filter in whilst I put the rest of the water into bottles I...

Hi all, I'm moving house in several house to an area about 4 hours away. Can anyone offer any advice how to move a fish tank with several danios and a blue gourami. Many thanks, Amnesia

Hi All, Just a bit of an update... We still have diatoms in the tank, it doesn't seem to be getting worse but it's still there. Roughly how long do you think it will take to clear? Yesterday, I picked up a couple of shrimp (amoto/algae eaters) and they seem to be loving jumping infront of the...

Thanks again, Terry. Not sure on the type of filter... it's quite a large box with a small dial on the top to adjust the speed. I'll just leave it for now then and watch it disappear :-) Thanks again the rest of you for reassuring this is "normal".

Yes, this is a new tank. I had left it sitting with mature media for about 10 days. It has 6 danios in it. Would you suggest cleaning it? I need to do a water change this weekend anyway.

Last one... Thanks, Terry. I'll get cleaning tonight... I've got one of those hoses with a section that collects the gravel and just takes away the muck, so I'll see if that helps at all. If I got a couple of shrimps, would they help keep the algae down? A quick question regarding the...

Hi All, I'm unsure what this is growing ont he gravel, I've attached a couple of pictures. It has appeared overnight (as it was not there when I turned the light off last night. The fish don't seem to be stressed, and it seems that something has "settled" on the gravel in just a particular...

We have a large DIY box I could fill with water. But I feel the filter won't be powerful enough for it? We did add a rather large bridge to the tank, so I think he feels cramped because of that (The person who had him before us kept him in the same tank and he always seemed fine). I'm going to...

Hi, I'll do a test this afternoon and let you know. We took the tank off a relative who was just waiting for it to die. We cleaned it out, done it up etc. Looks like it may have been kinder to let it die than keep it in the tiny tank.

Hi All, I inherited a tank several weeks ago, with a goldfish in it. The tank is just over 12 inches and he has seemed fairly happy until yesterday. He seems to enjoy swimming (but he wobbles, a lot!). And today, I saw him hiding underneath the bridge that is in there. He only just fits in...

Hi All, My tank has been running a little over a week now, and I've beed to the LFS a few times for water tests etc, each time there has been a change in levels but the Ph has remaided consistent. I'm happy my tank was mature (we reused water, along with a used filter, gravel, ornaments etc)...
