    That's cool. I was just reading through some of your threads and as I was heavily into reefing until recently, I thought I'd offer a bit of advice. Absolutely do move onto saltwater, but only once you have a very good handle on freshies. Salt is a whole different ballgame and you need a really...

    Bonjour from Norfolk, UK.

    Hello hello... New member. I've been immersed (deliberate pun) in reefing for the last few years and am a mod on a popular reefing forum... The reef was closed down recently and now I'm looking for a home for my freshwater ramblings (although the reefing forum have kindly allowed me to start a...

    Oddities... so there's a few things about this tank which aren't quite run of the mill. First up, the shopping trolley... in my research I kept coming across articles about how we are destroying the rift lakes and it really made me think. There is very little a hobbyist in a sleepy county in...

    Livestock... I started off with a fishless cycle - which much to my surprise only took 2 weeks to reduce 2ppm ammonia to zero in 24 hours - I'm guessing some particularly resilient strain of bacteria hung on from when it was salty. There was only a matter of days between removing the livestock...

    Right... water chemistry. As mentioned, I am a former (reformed??) reefer... so quite used to messing about with water chemistry. So, whilst researching before setting this tank up, I came across an article on the actual water parameters of lake Malawi. Admittedly the readings were just a...

    Hello, first post so go easy on me :) I've been keeping fish - fresh and salty - since I was 6... I'm now 38 and don't know half of anything really! What I have learned, in the main, is that big tanks are easier and more or less, how to keep fish alive :) Current tank has only been set up...
