Hi,   Would anyone recommend a good quality uv steriliser and advise on which wattage to have for a 150 litre reef set up?   Thanks.

Exactly my concern. I have checked all parameters and everything is good so nothing untoward. But I closed down my smaller tank two weeks ago to make way for a marine/reef tank arriving next week - always said I wouldn't go down that road but I've given in and I'm really excited about the...

Thanks kashifmasud. Sadly I've had to euthanise both fish after giving the treatment and salt a go. I couldn't bear to watch ten suffer any longer. The clove oil method is so humane.

Did I do something wrong? Not a single response from 111 views???

Hi. Never had this before, but two fish, a big angel and a red tailed tetra have gone down with swim bladder problems. Interpet do a treatment - should I treat the whole tank and all fish to prevent further casualties or transfer to another tank. The Interpet instructions say the treatment works...

Thanks!

Hi. I haven't been on the site for several months due to all sorts going on in life - particularly arrival of twin girl grandchildren (gorgeous). I am really impressed with the new look of the forum and I kept my fingers crossed that my email alerts, which had stopped and I had  posted about...

Hello in Minesota. It's made by Fluval and it's called 'Fluval LAB SERIES Phosphate Remover'. The tub has many languages on it suggesting that it's available across Europe so i would have thought you could get it in the states. Fluval is a very well known aquarist company over here - is it in...
