I will stop using the liquid co2 in that case. Is there any ferilisers you would recommend over profito? I have looked into EI on this website: http://www.aquariumplantfood.co.uk/fertilisers/dry-chemicals/starter-kits/ei-starter-kit.html Do you have any experience of using this?

I am fairly familier with RO and RO/DI water. My plan long term is to get an RO unit and produce the water myself at home. I'm currently cycling a new tank for my a Betta and was considering using RO water for this but after consulting this forum I was informed that locally bred Betta fish...

Thankyou for this info I'm aware that my water isn't ideal for some of the species I have. I wish I was aware of this at the time I got them. I wasn't very clued up and went on the advice of my LFS (bad idea) Long term I want to get the soft water species into a separate tank and have my 180...

Thankyou Byron that was amazingly informative. The angels are both female - there was a male but due to aggression he was re-homed. I think I will rehome the Rams - my GH is 15. PH is 7

Hence the "up until now"

I do! It's a lot less mixed than it used to be believe it or not. Up until now all fish seem to have been thriving though

Done a 50% water change. Not too much difference in the angel really. Rest of the fish are still very perky. Tank is a Juwel Rio 180. I have the internal Juwel filter as well as an external APS 1400EF+ which pumps 1400 litres an hour. 30-40% change every Thursday. Stocking: 2 angels 6...

One of my albino neon tetras and one of my blue rams have died in the last 24 hours. My angelfish is also looking very very sick. He is floating around very lethargic and is near enough being sucked into the filter because he's so lethargic. Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 40ppm Temp 25-26 My...

Brilliant I'll have a look thanks :)

I am planning on using real plants yes - trying to decide which to go for. I was planning on taking snippets from my community tank but they are medium to high tech and this new tank doesn't have the correct amount of light I believe. I'm also using a co2 system in my main tank where as I'm...

Yes, Seachem Prime

Hello, I've just bought an aquanano 40 which I plan to house a male Betta in. I've added my gravel and water and I'm going to start my fishless cycle tomorrow. I'm using tap water at the moment. My tap water is very hard with a GH of 15 and PH of 7.8. I'm wondering if I need to use RO...

Hello, Struggling to decide which tank to get! I like the Juwel Primo 110 as it has LED's and I hear that Juwel tanks are very good. Is there anything that the Rio 125 has that would make it better than the Primo? Would anybody recommend any other tanks around this size/price. I'm looking to...
