Thank you. Last night was Jan 26th - before water change Ammonia - Trace (between 0 and 0.2) Nitrite - 0.6 Nitrate - 30 So we performed a 40% change to be on the safe side. Hopefully it would have gone down tonight.

Oh ok thank you very much. That's good news as I was a bit worried about a peak as I think both the swordtail females are pregnant. :good:

Jan 22nd - got fish (6 platys, 3 swordtails) pH - 8 Ammonia - 0 - 0.6 Jan 23rd - Before water change pH - 8 Ammonia - 0.6 Nitrite - 0.6 Nitrate - 15 Jan 25th - Before water change Ammonia - 0.2 Nitrite - 0.3 Nitrate - 12 We are doing a 10 - 20% water change daily, just wondering if things are...

Hey you have fish, looks great. :) Hey you have fish, looks great. :)

So sorry to hear what she did. I hope she grows up soon for the sake of your children.

World of Water - Bicester, Oxfordshire Variety: 8 Quality: 6 (Saw more than 7 dead fish and a dead shrimp being cleaned by his buddies on last visit alone) Staff: 7 (Depends who you get) The Goldfish Bowl - Oxford Variety: 9.5 Quality: 10 Staff: 10 (We had Barry serve us, excellent chap)

Thank you (again) :) I only put the bubbles on to see what they would look like, haven't had them on since, but my other half rang the fish shop to make sure it's normal and he said it's trapped air and to tilt it up, then back down and it should all come out. I'll get him to mess about with the...

Thank you both, will change the filter over as soon as. I hope we can find a smaller walking stick as I really don't want to try and cut it and break it! :unsure: Also noted about the circulation, makes perfect sense. :good: In the bottom isn't actually a sand, it's really tiny perfectly...

Thank you. Sorry, i'm just getting used to all these sections! Can I also add that the filter occasionally (every few minutes) spits out a bursts of tiny bubbles, is this because it is new or have we done something wrong? :crazy:

Do I need to change anything? Are the plants ok by the heater? Ignore the diagonal filter input, I think we need to trim it with a hack saw? (read that somewhere on google) as it's too long for the tank. Is it ok diagonal for now? There will be a background and more plants added next week. Good...

Sorry, another newbie question... We have an Aqua One Aquis 1250 and have just come across a couple of hickups setting it up. There are 2 walking stick arms, one short, one long. The long one is really quite long and if used as an inlet is actually just about touching the gravel. If we used the...

Thank you so much for all the advice, it saved me £75 today already! We had initially brought the big coloured gravel in a goldish colour, then we decided to go more natural so this morning swap it for a sandy coloured fine gravel. But when we got home I noticed it looked incredibly rough, so...

Thanks for this, just connecting it now, really great advice. :)

Thank you. I didn't want anymore delays in setting it up, i've already changed the gravel twice as I have now found the catfish friendly fine grain I was after all along.

We are just about to set up our tank, but the instructions on the tub don't seem to be in English. We have DeponitMix professional by Dennerle. Do we just layer it under the gravel? If so how thinkly? There is also a perfect plant system set with E15 feractiv, V30 complete and S7 Vitamix if...
