This is all so so helpful. Thank you I really appreciate it!! I got two of the superfish aquaflow 400s for £19 to be delivered tomorrow.. so having both I can get twice the media in and twice the help to the tank I’m guessing. Thanks for taking the time to advise on all this. Happy with my plan now!

No gasping or anything of concern… yet :(

Thank you Pic attached, doesn’t quite show the few plants but regardless there aren’t many and I’ve had low success with plants. The surface has a large amount of duckweed. I have a large air stone but have a spare so I’ll add it in I’ve just ordered the aquaflow filter to help tie me over, it...

I have a 240l with the fluval 307. The aquastop has broken and as it’s a public holiday the part can’t be sent until Tuesday. The tank has already gone over 24 hours without filtration. I did a 50% water change last night. How often and how big do I need to do the water changes until next...

Thank you

Does anyone recognise what this little creature is in my tank? I’m assuming he’s hitched a ride with a plant… about 2cm long.

Just popping back to say that the light bulb change fixed the problem within a couple of weeks.. thank you

Sorry if I’m being really thick.. how does this eliminate all cycling issues? Does it not need regular ammonia to cycle and stay cycled? I can’t get my head round QT tanks but really want one.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the help. I’ve been in this hobby for about 9 months now and have learnt loads from this forum and it has been a tough journey at times as I thought it was going to be so easy and it’s been a steep learning curve. It’s really selfless that people give up...

Didn’t think of adding a second nature one - will do thank you

Thank you! So the light - yes I will try that I do regular huge water changes but will vacuum the substrate more. I had worried I was maybe cleaning it too much and so will put that back into a twice weekly routine. In terms of feeding - I typically put in a decent pinch of flakes for the...

Thanks again for advising. I am not sure what is causing the nitrate rise (only aware that it’s an issue to look into thanks to your mention of it - it certainly puts the pressure on me for water changes as I know to keep it low for my mollies) I wonder if it maybe due to some of the plant...

Thank you :)
