Called them again and said it should be under warranty and they eventually gave in and as the light is all screwed in to the lid with a cover etc they just said just bring in the lid and we will replace it with the one we have on the shop floor. SORTED :good: Your fish tanks sound amazing btw...

Hey all In my 19L Interpet Fishbox Moon I have a high output 15W fluorescent energy saver lamp and on Wednesday morning when I went to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on. Didn't have time to do anything about it as was on way out to work. When I got home I tried to put it on again and it went...

Thanks all :) Will have a good read if the stuff in the morning Gilli thanks for that :)

Yay all four are still alive! There colour is back too :) never been so relieved! So as far as the slime goes do you think I should get an algae eater fish then? And would a fighter be ok with neons?

So sorry for being thick but what does cycle mean just half empty the water and add new water in every couple of days?? Had a look at the links further up in the thread but it really doesn't make sense to a novice. Or to me anyways lol. I did want a Male Fighter Fish, seen a purple one with...

Think my neons might be dead in the morning. Just changed their water for the 1st time and they are not as vivid in colour ! :'(

Looked at them as they have been in the dark and one of the four are lively but the other three seem not as vivid in colour and sooking nearer the filter :sad: Think they may be dead in the morning. By "dechlorinator" do you mean stuff like this Tap Safe?? If they do pass away during the night...

Wow! Your Betta is beautiful!! I want one to go with my neons, seen a really pretty purple one with red fins :D

Well I just cleaned them out, put them in a basin of their own water with the heater, then cleaned everything in the tank, then filled the tank up with a little hot water and the rest cold as the temp on the side of the tank said 26 degrees which is it's usual. Put in the tank safe and left it...

I would have thought neons would be ok in a new tank. So really how often should I clear them out at the moment till all the slinky stuff is gone?? About every third day??

The slime does look horrible though :sad: going to clean them out tomorrow, will they last in a basin of the tank water with the heater in it for 15-20 mins while I give the tank a real clean out and then last for 20 mins while the heater heats the tanks water before putting them back in?

Hey all, I'm new to fish-keeping so I am wondering what could be wrong with my tank. I bought the tank (Fishbox Moon 19L), light is attatched, filter came with it, and bought a heater on Sunday the 20th May and bought 4 Neon Tetra's on the 24th of May. The water was cloudy for a few days after...
