Panic over.....the bacteria have landed :hyper: Checked tonight and ammoia hit pretty much zero whilst nitrite went off the chart. Got about 20ppm nitrate as well :) Topped up the ammonia again and will start doing the regular checks.

Just the biOrb pump in there at the moment. Think it goes up to 8.4? It's the API master test kit. Yep, lr is in and ammonia is currently at 5ppm. I've made a cock up haven't I? Cheers for all of the input. I'll try and do some more reading over the next few days :rolleyes: I thought I'd...

Not a problem. Running forums can be a PITA at times :) I co-run my own vB place and these hicups happen.

Yep, put it in last Saturday :)

I appreciate they're not the best of tanks, but it was given to us by a family member who found it too big for their needs. We've added a few things like the heater, etc to go marine [:)] We picked up some live rock last weekend from our lfs. It's cured. We only want to keep one or two fish and...

Cheers BTT :) Once I'm validated I'll request it to be moved back.

Guys, can somebody help validate my account please? :) I've tried multiple email addresses and some don't get the email at all but some do. Those that do have a validation code that just will not work :( I've emailed the address twice in the sticky but with no luck. Only reason I'm in a rush...

Seems there are two people in my town on the list...Braintree :D Think I'll try this on my own though for the moment as I like to learn these things as I go :) If I really start to struggle, I'll maybe give them a shout. OK, cheers FHM :)

Ah yeah, should have said I'm going marine :) I'll turn the temp up a little and see how we go. Just wanted to make sure I'd not done anything silly. Cheers guys. Just another note, I'm looking to pop in a Fire Shrimp or two and either a couple of clown or humbugs. Ideally I'd like some of...

Hi guys, wonder if I can run this by you :) I've got a 30L biOrb that I'm trying to cycle but nothing seems to be happening yet. I started 25th April by adding ammonia. I got my measurements all correct and it's sitting at around 5ppm. But it's been stuck there all week and I'm not sure if I'm...

I think we'll stick with what we have for the moment and see where we go from there. We don't really have the room for a bigger tank right now. Appreciate the comments so far though :)

Yeah, I appreciate it might not be the best of tanks but we're only starting :) Think we'll stick to just a couple of fish in there then. Who knows, maybe we'll upgrade in the future.

Hi all, first post here so go easy on me :blush: We're new to keeping fish having never had anything before. Whilst looking around our LFS (Fins in a Wyevale centre) we saw some of the biOrb tanks and thought they looked nice. We then went off to my sisters and mentioned them only to find out...
