Thanks for all your suggestions fellow boardies! :good: Took back the Elite 802 - no problems - and bought a Tetratec APS50 - a lot, LOT better - still the vibration noise but immensly quiet compared to the Elite and the fishies love it!!!!!! :hyper: I knew I could rely on you guys and...

Just want it to add in a bit of a "feature" so bubbles only really. Did have 2 filters in due to a mass production of fry but no longer need and wanted to treat the fish to something for a change.

Think I'm gonna have to - thanks for your advice adam! :good:

Thanks for your reply germ - i've placed it on carpet, a scarf, TV padded wrapping, blu-tac (as advised by the shop), even shut it in the cupboard under the tank and it's still as noisy as noisy can be - took it back and was quiet in the shop (but then again shops are noisy ain't they) they even...

Hey everyone! :) Just wanted to ask a quick question regarding installing a new filter. Have a 56 litre tank and the current filter is doing nothing more than a trickle despite there being no blockage. Have just bought a Fluval 2 plus and just wanted to check that because there is no...

Unfortunately, 6 tetra deaths since Monday - poor little bggers. The 4 remaining and plec are in good health now - white spot all cleared up and feeding normally. Going to do a water change tomorrow and full maintenance. Thanks for all your info and help!!! Stram

Thanks for the info Wilder - will update. What a pain that pet shops aren't 24 hours!!!!! :(

Hi all! New to the board and new to fishkeeping and have my first worry!!!!! I have got 10 tetras in my aquarium and have noticed that a few of them have, what appears to be, white spot. Only noticed today. Also along with this, the ones that appear to have white spot also have droopy dorsal...
