This is great! I didn’t think about storing the extra amounts in bottles in the garage. I’ll be sure to check out the diy filter too. Thank you!

Thanks for explaining so clearly. I’ll test the parameters and find a good level for what I need.

Hello, As you’ve read; I’m now keen to take the shift into introducing rainwater into my water changes for my 200l freshwater planted tank. I live in a very hard water area. The GH (20) and KH (16) are way over the comfortable limit. Would greatly appreciate any feedback on my plan here: -...

It’s just green water. I’ll be testing them tomorrow. But don’t understand why the water changes aren’t helping the issue. I’m afraid I don’t know the light data. Had the tank for almost s year and haven’t changed the lighting system.

Thanks guys. I will be returning the unused aquarium salt, and will be buying pure magnesium sulphate Epsom salt, to give my guppy a soak in. Stomach bloat - I’m fearing dropsy.....

So, has anyone tried aquarium salt for their tropical tank? I’ve heard good things, and that it can be used for water changes as well as medicating a fish. But I wonder if it’s safe for plecos?? :( Anyone had any success or tips for using this salt? - API Aquarium Salt is the product I’ve...

Hi Guys :) Slightly concerned about my Platy. I’ve had her for a good two years now, and she seems fine at the moment, but have noticed her belly has recently gotten ‘bigger’. I moved her into my 200 litre tank 3 days ago. Her eating and swimming habits haven’t changed and her scales and gills...
