    My first tropical freshwater tank! :)

    Absolutely LOVE my new jungle! Can I just say it was a pain in the bum to do though!! Took me nearly an hour and a half in total with the water change as well! But the fish seem to love it!

    Thanks for your advice! :) I know it’s just frustrating isn’t it! And I know I need to leave the filter alone now I need to get a thin wire brush for the spray bar so it doesn’t affect the water agitation! :) just done my results and it’s the same as yesterday... Ammo: between 0-0.2 Nitrite...

    Update after 3 days!! :fish: Things have been a bit mental so didn’t post after Wednesday! Anyway, woke up Thursday morning and did my water checks and the Ammo still hadn’t dropped back down to 0 (it’s always 0 once Iv done my water change) even after not feeding the previous night! These...

    Would you say the K rating is too much then!? And yeah I suppose I could look for just a red LED or message him and ask him to tell me as soon as the full spectrum lights come for the measurement of my tank!

    Oh god I don’t know what to do because all the full spectrum LED lights were too big for my tank! It didn’t tell me the K rating on them, iv put two pics underneath here of all the details of the light see what ya think.. I can send it back but I’m really struggling on finding a full spec one...

    Lighting Advice needed please!!

    It has been a nightmare I agree. Iv just purchased a 5w blue and white LED, 650 lumens for my 25l tank, I’m hoping that’s more than enough for my plants to grow nicely along with my liquid and tab fertilisers!

    Daily journal update! :) Did my usual water parameter check and the Ammo results hadn’t gone down as much as expected actually considering I didn’t feed the fish yesterday! But hey ho keep plodding! The results were: Ammo: between 0-0.2 (same as yesterday but colour was slightly lighter but...
