Hello, these are my api masterkit liquid results from this morning: Amonia 0 (more or less) Nitrite 0 (completely blue, no purple at all) Nitrate 40-80ppm This was about an hour or so after a 30% water change. The same tests i did yesterday were exactly the same, only the nitrates were a lot...

Thanks again for your help, it's really appreciated. Ive been reading more about (R)UGF's tonight and i've decided against them. I'll instead use an EC, would the one below be ok? http://www.allpondsolutions.co.uk/aquarium-external-filter-150-l-h-5696-0.html The filter listed above states...

Thanks for all the comments guys! I did have a quick look through the Beginners Section, in fact i've been reading about tropical aquariums in general for about 2 days now (literally). I just wanted to get your opinion's before i bought anything more. Waterdrop - you said other filters would...

Really?

Hi all, Ive just bought a 24x12x12 ~55ltrs, i'm wanting to build up a tropical aquarium over the course of the next month or so. I would like to use a combination of allpondsolutions.co.uk and my local pet supplier, (due to free delivery and supporting my local shop respectively). Anyway onto...
