I've just been researching this very issue. I've had my Oase 600 set up around 2 months and air is constantly going through the system and as others have said it's noisy and annoying. There are no water leaks which to me would indicate a poorly fitted or damaged unit seal. Also no leaks from the...

Hi folks I seem to have acquired a number of squatters !! in the way of trumpets snails. At the moment it's not to bad they are all pretty small. However I don't want to encourage them. What are my options to keep them under control? I was thinking of an assassin snail? would that work in my...

Thanks I've noticed the auratus getting fiesty! I might try and replace the Demasoni although I really like them, with some rusty Cichlid. This would bring the stock levels down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Colin thanks for your reply I'm hoping to use seachem prime to lock away the remaining ammonia dosing every 24 hours my filtration is adequate for probably 20 fish and I'll only be adding maybe 6 or 8 initially. I think the test kit is accurate it's a new api master kit bought when I started the...
