Covers the front of the glass with a small green film, and on the fake plants there is some hair algae 

Thanks bud, moved a few over to my second tank. I don't mind an invavsion of snails at the moment due to the huge algae problem i have in that tank

Looked at the glass and seen at least 6 little snails from when i must have put live plants in the tank, but i did replace the live plants with silk a month or two ago.   The shell almost looks slightly clear and rounded shells.

From the advice i've had on here with dealing with high paramaters i'd do a large water change to remove the nitrate from the water.    Do not clean the inside of your filters or the sponges until your cycle has finished.   I recommend using something like fluval cycle will decrease the time...

Tank has seemed to stabilise again, Did the big water change and let everything settle for a few days as i was busy at work and everything is back down to 0 

No abnormal fish behaviour, I did a test seen ammonia was high and started dosing with ammolock and only seen a rise.   I did a big water change yesterday didn't have time to post results as I had to head off to work. But It dropped down to 4ppm inside 10 minutes which was a relief at least...

Amonia, nitrite and nitrate were all a dead 0 up until i cleaned the filters and used ammo lock.   I tested there again this morning and the amonia test is so green it's almost a dark blue.   the nitrite looks like it's at least 2ppm    nitrate looks 20ppm    so something has really upset the...

Ph is 7.0 as i keep it at that   amonnia is at least 8,0ppm bearing in mind i've used ammo lock which aparently gives false readings as well. It's after i used it that i noticed the jump too maybe it's partly to blame Nitrite 0.25ppm has been for the past 4-5 days nitrate 0   I haven't replaced...

I'll keep testing the water and doing daily water changes just to try and keep some levels down. I'll do them on alternate weeks just to make sure im not killing off bacteria. Should have thought of that myself /slap   Cheers :p

I have two filters on the tank, cleaned them both in the tank water because the insides of them were quite gunked up, also had some plant parts inside.

Last Saturday i gave the filters a good clean, syphoned the water into the tank and then i cleaned the insides of my filters inside the tank water with a filter sponge...    Ever since my ammonia has been spiking and it looks like the tank is cycling again as the nitrites are starting to rise as...

It's a very small white coned snail :) cheers for the info!

I spotted a baby snail on the glass a few minutes ago. I have three netrite snails kept in freshwater.   I did put in a few plants today also could there be a possibility that it came from the plants?   Plants were purchased from pets at home.

You said it XD anyone have a clue what this is?

Opened up the lid as im going to do a water change etc today and found this sludge all over my filter.. any idea what it is? the filters are only max 3 weeks old
