Hi all! I will soon be upgrading my 145litre tank running Fluval 307 to a 375 litre tank. I would appreciate some recommendations in external filter and lighting. For filter I am pretty much settle on Oase Bio master 600 Thermo. Not too sure about the light though. Leaning towards Fluval...

Sorry that was picture of the white film on the surface video below. Looks pretty active but swimming head up and seem to be tilted to the left.

I have lost a neon tetra two weeks ago, it was swimming with head upwards and gasping for air at the surface to I euthanised it. Today I've noticed another neon tetra swimming the same way, although this one looks more active. Colour is normal and I don't notice any inflamation. At the moment it...

Already doing that :) Weekly 50% water change and monthly filter maintenance (tear down, clean pipes, media etc). Also have various live plants in my tank. Ideally I would like my Nitrate levels to be around 10ppm but I don’t think that is possible considering my tap water levels. Tempted by the...

Tried GW many years ago but can’t really gel with it. Feels a bit like Final Fantasy / Monster Hunter world which I can’t really get into. I prefer the options WoW provides. Is it worth giving GW2 a look?

Anyone use this to control Nitrate levels in freshwater tank? My tap water nitrate levels are a little high (16ppm) and Nitrate level in my tank is around 40ppm (it’s very hard to tell accurately using API master kit) Noticed a product called Tetra Nitrateminus and it has good reviews on Amazon.

pH is around 7.

Thanks @Colin_T. Sadly the fish passed away yesterday. I don’t notice any signs of infection other than the fin rot. The other two remaining Panda Corydoras seem to be doing well.

Thanks. Think the other plant is also an Amazon Sword but the leaf looks different. Will it be ok for the roots to be exposed or do I have to bury them? Apologies not really good with plants ...

I’ve bought this some time ago and can’t remember what it’s called. It’s basically now just sitting in top of the substrate with the roots sticking upwards. Will this be ok? Growth wise it’s doing ok, but not as good as it’s neighbour in the second picture. Does this plant requires lots of light?

So the fish is still moving but not eating much. Noticed the fins are rotting away. Will it be more humane to consider euthanasia @Colin_T ?
