Carrying on from previous post if you have got a newish fuse board say 10yrs or younger it could be rcd and mcb protected if it has and the circuit supplying your skts is on it you don't need another rcd adaptor in circuit. If you haven't it wouldn't be a bad idea to get an electrician to quote...

In short no it shouldn't get hot with the loading your running. Check all connections to make sure they are all sound. I would take it back or bin it. I have seen an rcd get hot and a go up in smoke. I take it your fuseboard is just that and hasn't got trip switches?

Now now lets not detract from the question asked which was pH levels being high and would they be harmful? Choose your fish carefully and if your lfs stocks locally bred fish stocks they should already be acclimatised to your local water so shouldn't cause a problem. You could add a diy co2 kit...

Great idea will def look into it thankyou

That's ok! Guess what my dalmation mollie gave birth also this morning now it's interesting.

I couldn't do that how do you explain to a five year old that the new babies are fish food! I have bought a tank that night and taken filter media from my matured tank and plants and water and put it in new tank along with water from my freshly cycled tank and combined them into new tank. I have...

I am tottally not ready and have just got back from work to see her wriggling and out pops fry. I don't have a tank or room for one what should I do. I have rocks and plants in the tank at moment will see if my local shop open for net but what do I do now. Should I get the fry out now and risk...

Could you use nutrafin co2 system with the sugar and yeast mixture instead of buying their tablet refils. Also whilst in my lfs I saw a jbl cheap co2 kit which uses fermentation so I guess you could use this if you didn't want to make your own. Any thoughts on this.

Thanks dj it's amazing how many varied responses you get and that's just from the fish stockists. Now I was told to remove the carbon from the tank and only put it in after using medication others say to remove carbon before putting in medicine, I am now well confused. Carbon in and leave in or...

Thanks will do I asked them if I could use something like snail remover before I add fish or would it knacker my cycle. No real response but was given suggestion of couple of fish that if were not over fed would eat the snails eggs not what I asked lol.

Have been back to Maidenhead aquatics and have been told it's bacterial and if I had algae eaters it would be eaten even though I told them I am 1 week into a fishless cycle. So have been told to remove bogwood boil it in heavy salted water.

I have had mine in soak for a week with regular boiling water changes and scrubbing has slowed down the tanning so put it back in the tank now have a funny milky jelly fish looking stuff all over it. Been back to Maidenhead aquatics and was told it's a bacterial growth and if I were to put a...

Would a snail or two snails be able to lay that many eggs to completely cover an 18" long piece of bogwood in 4 hours? They don't look like eggs but then that's why I am asking.

I am 7 days into the cycling process. I have soaked and scrubbed the bogwood for 5 days with regular water changes in a bucket before placing it in the tank. It has been in the tank 2 days all was going well when I noticed a strange substance growing enveloping the bogwood. I looks a bit like a...
