I fish in cycled? I dont think you are correct there when i introduced my 2 mollies my ammonia was 0 and nitrites at the most minimal they could get, and my tank had been cycling for a long time fishless without them, you need to get your facts right. But yes you're quite right, this post now...

Grief is not what I would exactly call a comment on a forum, its merely the truth so that part of the equation doesn't make a difference. Yeah you are doing everything in your power to make them comfortable, responsible fish keeping, that is great. Of course people on here are going to help...

To be quite honest, there is no reason whatsoever to use fish whilst cycling a tank, its cruel. Its perfectly feasible to do so without stock and there is plenty of information available to guide you through fishless cycling. Im not trying to be harsh or undermining but its unnecessary.

That looks beautiful, such a well thought out and desgined scape. Brilliant job there. I love how the plants have attached themselves to the wood, think it looks far more effective than just bare wood poking out. Im gonna keep an eye on your scapes from now on, possibly get some ideas for my own!

LOL well I hope luigi is happy with his name, we'll soon see!

That tank is something thats been lifted straight from my dreams...absolutely beautiful tank. Im jealous!! One question, are you ground floor? I am soo biased when it comes to plants, do a little research and get some real ones, yeah they take some maintainence and a little knowledge, maybe a...

I would really prefer to see that ray left where he naturally belongs, no offence to you on that. I know this is a touchy subject as someone might say that all fish should be left in their natural habitat...but i think its easier and more accessible to create a good home for less demanding...

you have a lovely tank their, getting a natural yet groomed and attractive aquscape isnt easy but you've done a great job. I like to see tanks which show that their keepers have put their brains into the layout. I love the use of spacing and the curvature used to create little recesses in your...

Talking of fish names, I used to live in sweden and we were eating at a thai restaurant called koh phangan, this restaurant has a pond running under the entire floor, anyway we decided that we'd name one of the fish in the pond luigi as my italian friend said she'd like to eat it :( I tolf her...

this thread has obviously been going for a while and ive been following looking at the progress. I love your choice of fish, very beautiful, i think they are a welcome addition to anyones tank. However, I think the aquascaping could do with alot of work, in my mere opinion, it looks a bit messy...

Okay well im not an expert but my tank now is planted and is doing well with the addition of co2 injection, but as aaronnorth said think about your lighting first and what plants you want. My substrate is sand and have had a few issues with it compacting and crushing the roots of some of my...

Its mine and my mums tank so we have to share stocking! 3 Clowns 1 Ram cichlid ...did have a few more but have to be taken out due to bullying 4 Candy stripe loaches 4 Phantom tetras 1 Ruby Barb 5 Cardinals 2 Dwarf gouramis 2 Danios (like bigger groups i know but some died in my mums old tank)...

i got a 205 as i mentioned in another post and its fantasic, clarity and water quality top notch. go for 205 id say.

obviously bigger if you can afford it and there realy isnt a huge gap between 205 and 305 but for knowledge purposes i have a 205 on my aquarium which is approx 200L and my water is like glass, sometimes it doesnt even look like there is water in there its that clear lol!

I understand that. Ive setup my co2 and all is going well, my first bottle has been running for 2 days, im going to add the 2nd bottle in about another 3 days so making a 5 day run for the first when the 2nd has been introduced. However im not going to change the first bottle after day five, ill...
