Yes a biorb- will make sure I just rinse sponge in tank water next time, thank you for the tip. Shop tested for nitrite, amonia, nitrates and ph, so i think the full compliment. They were going to retest next week, but as it seems I may have upset balance a bit by changing filter I will get a...

Thank you. They did 4 tests and compared colours to the ones on walls. they were lovely and spent a good 20 mins on it with me, but I didnt think to ask for numbers,just followed their advice of 25% water change today, another 20-25% on Wednesday and another next Saturday before a repeat water...

Oh well this is all VERY confusing!! The Biorb website says it should be replaced every 4-8 weeks?

Well I went down and got water tested The levels were all spot on, which is weird, but good I suppose. I have done a 30% change then added some swim bladder infection treatment, plus changed the filter which was looking a bit brown. I guess i will just have to wait and see now- Thanks

So sorry if this is in wrong place, but I am very worried about one of my fish He is at top of tank, and seems really lethargic- the other 2 keep coming and butting/nipping him a little then he swims a little but soon comes back to the top Is he dying? is there anything I can do for him?
