Cheers guy's - appreciate your help. So I tried selling the 107 without success so as I currently have nothing to do with it I opted to put it in. Maybe I will use it later for another smaller tank, (MTS is starting to take affect with me) so I might as well have it working and cycled...:) The...

Thanks for your response, If i were to put on the 2nd one, How would you go about the positioning of the inlet outlet? I currently have the 1 inlet and outlet on the same side, with the outlet pointing away and towards the side of the tank to create a circular stream from the back left to...

Hey all So I have a 243 litter rimless planted tank, 90X60X45 Been set for a few months and is completely cycled and balanced. It has a 1,450 LPH canister filter - Fluval 407 But I have an additional Fluval 107 (550 litters per hour) without use, should I add it to the tank or is that...

Thanks, Kind of got the felling they just want me to eventually need to buy more fish..... Any way, gout shecam prime and gave the tank a nice dose, I understand it detoxifies the bad **** so it's harmless to the fish until the renewed tank in fully cycled...

That's pretty much what I thought. However, would like your insight, as my LFS told me that after the initial water change, I should be adding the liquid beneficial bacteria every other day but NOT to do an additional water change for at least a couple of weeks... Is this good advice? I feel...

Hey - Quick help!!! Just did a water check - Ammonia 0, Nitrite roughly 5 MG/L!!! Nitrate 40PPM Did a 50% water change what else do i need to do??

Thanks man:) Appreciate it I think pretty well, loads of room for them, gave them some blood worms - ate it in a frenzy as always, all seems well, knock on wood

It's done! :) So just wanted to give a quick update - the tank arrived and the switch has been done! It was quite a process! It took the better part of 4 hours in total - I had to construct the cabinet and also took my time with the hardscape - I think it turned out quit well! There is...

As mentioned below, somebody else said not to rinse... lol any way decided to go ahead and just put in a bucket with tank water (did a water change anyway) and will let it soak there until the new tank arrives Tuesday I'm told. Didn't want to quote all you wrote - as it was too long :) Thanks...

Can any body shed some light regarding the transfer of the substrate? I have only a active aqua soil substrate - Is there anything specific I should or shouldn't do when transferring it from the small tank to the new larger one? Thanks

LOL I will definitely hit them up But I think I got a new variation of the syndrome, NTS - new tank syndrome... Don't think I have it in me to have more than 1 - and the MRS. would kill me... But as I know me - will probably want an even bigger one later on...lol Yes, sizes are...

Hey, What is the MTS support group? Yeah, as it is relatively new - don't see a reason to not use them... I am trading in the smaller one back to the store I bought it from + paying the difference and getting the new one To that end, I will have to give the old one back to the store the...
