I have currently had my tank set up for 4 months and all the water tests have been fine till now. My ammonia level has rocketed in the pass couple of days. The test is a 'urine' yellow (between 2.4 - 4.9 when using the colour chart). I dont know what these figures mean but i know that they are...

Thanks for the info :good:

Thanks for all the advice :good:

Wondering if anyone could recommend any good websites for buying tropical fish in the UK ? Can only find tropicalfish4u site. Also is there any fish which shouldnt even be considered for posting e.g would posting clown loach cause them to get stressed and therefore have whitespot. Thanks...

Were gonna turn up the temperature but i cant increase the aeration in the tank. Yeah sorry :blush: did just mean the carbon media

About two weeks ago i noticed that two of my fish had white spot so i started to use protozin, i followed the instructions but it didnt clear up, so i restarted the treatment but it still isnt working. Today i noticed that it is now spreading and about 5 of my other fish now have white spot...

The tank is 84 W x 58 H x 44 D cm 165 litres I am totally useless at maths, hence i dont know how to work out how the gallons. :blush:

This happened to me ages ago with a blue goldfish, didnt notice at first coz i had a blue carpet at the time. Was so upset when i realised !!! Happened when doin a water change, learnt my lesson though to keep the lid closed when not watching the tank :rip:
