    New Aquarium Owner - Help Needed

    The only thing I've managed to do today is change the white bulb to a blue bulb and I bought some nice rock (I think it's Tufa Rock?) but that's about it.    I spoke to a couple of aquarium stores and they was helpful, they did a full test on my water and both the places come back good, they...

    I get the picture    Also.. what about adding snails? Something to do with turning the sand over so I wouldn't have to do it myself? I'm not sure the Malawi's would get along with them though and I heard some snails can just keep multiplying!      Also.. do you have any tips or techniques on...

    Thanks for the tips I may give it a go :)   I was wondering if you could help me on the gravel > sand conversion as I'm looking online and some people say they get cloud for a few days? Which is what I don't want, but then again most of the people who have said that have used play sand or some...

    We all know I will probably end up with another tank soon, just a matter of time ;)      The most recent ones, they look very good, and just what I had in mind for my set up but I doubt I could find anything like that on eBay!

      My tank feels empty, I have around 9 Malawis at the moment and the Featherfin and the Parrot, I think the problem is.... I need a bigger tank ;)    Also my filter is a Fluval 206, any good? And which part of the filter do I remove to keep damp?

    I have just had another read, I actually like the look of the Synodontis multipunctatus, I just done a quick Google (man's best friend) and it's best to keep them in groups of 3+ to avoid competition between 2 apparently.    If I rehomed the Featherfin and got 3 of the Synodontis multipunctatus...

    What about the Catfish Pellets, if I put them in the tank should I be worried about the Malawis eating them before the Featherfin does?    I think the plan is to get the tank sorted and then go from there, once I put the sand, live rock, and plants in and re arrange the whole tank with a 100%...

    Thanks to you both    And just regarding the Featherfin Squeaker (Synodontis Eupterus) I have done a little research and found that the minimum tank size is 110L where my tank is 190L so should I still rehome it or should I be ok? I also have read it should be fed Catfish Pellets but if I place...

Anything else or would I be good to go with testing the water myself?    I will run the airstone and the filter media in a large bucket whilst I re...

    No I don't have any kits, I just usually take my water to the Aquarium store and they test my water for me? If you could recommend a kit then I would look into it :) Also when buying a kit how many times can you test the water with that kit? If that makes sense    I knew about cleaning the...
