Hey guys, just got a mates larger filter as it is bigger and has mature media filter. My question - can I plug it in and put it in when there is fish in there and take out the small one? Or can they both run at the same time? How long until I take the smaller one out if I have them both...

ok that makes alot more sense.. I guess I will have to take the fishies back then :(

ok so at least 120L - and can you tell me if my numbers are all correct when I test them myself today then I should be safe to say that this particular tanks cycle is complete?

Yeah that one still hasnt been answered yet - I just keep getting take the fish back - but I already said I would rather go out and buy the right sized tank and get the fish into that as soon as that has had a fishless cycle done. But everyone keeps saying a large one - but I still don't know...

Right.. Thanks heaps again all..

I just want to check - Im not sure if angel fish are the same all over the world but half of the info Im getting is that they will only grow a small amount and then the other half is saying 1 foot. Looking at the ones in my tank now - they are tiny - I really cant imagine them growing that big...

ok so to clarify what the drops of this and the teaspoons of that were haha 8 drops of 'water ager cn' 8 drops of 'biotec amtrite down' and 3 teaspoons of 'tropical conditioner' Also - because our Ph was at 6.5 we got a Ph cake which will rise the Ph to 7 but not let it go over. Hope that...

Thanks guys will have a read of all the links.. But no - that reading was after the first 7 neons had been in and died

hahaha oh yes of course but I will get them to do one last test there so I can compare when I do it at home :) Also - are those numbers what you would consider the end of a cycle process or do they need changing. I know the Ammonia needed to be zero - and apparently was today but I forgot to...

ooo wait I forgot I got a paper with my test results (I just totally forgot and left it in the bag - so from the top to bottom Ph - 7 General hardness - 200 Ammonia - 0.25 Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0 oh and sorry forgot to say that these were my results from last weeks test and today she said...

Question - so when the lady did all the testing on the ammonia and ph and nitra/ite levels and said that everything was perfect - doesnt that mean that the cycling was complete? She didnt advise to get any other fish other than the tetras until it was right. Ive had the tank running for 3...

hmmm thanks guys - this just makes me sad because I said to both stores (one a chain store and the other a fish only aquarium store) that I was happy to take my time and do it right so that they dont die - so Im kinda pi$$ed at them for stuffing me around.. I will go and get a test kit tomorrow...

haha I am currently reading all the beginners advice and no no's.. It is all very interesting but still some info is conflicting.. Im wondering whether I will be more confused after a couple of hours on here.. Has anyone got a good reccommendation of where to find info on Angel fish? The...

Oh and another thing - I have to live plants in there - one is on driftwood and the other is just a bunch of long stems (not sure of the plant name but they are green on one side of the leaf and purple or red on the other) oh and I cant take them back now because its 8.30pm - shops closed at...

Oh really I told the lady I had a 25L tank and she said that I will be more than fine until we move in September where we have a 50L tank waiting (its a friends but they want to get rid of it around then so we are going to have it - if they change their minds we were going to buy a new one then...
