Thanks its just to have so can look at it more for health and disease :) mainly as back up support sort of thing. Thanks for the advice on books :).

I want some quite detailed books, to keep and read over as this is my first time and my partner has offered to buy some for my birthday. obviously i want some suggestions as i don't want my first pet fish xD or get some cheap rubbish books. is there any really good ones you used or read that can...

Awesome,Thanks for that was a bit worried cause the fluval 2 thats in there atm was a new pump what i had lying around :) had a horrible time last night with everything spiking, all sorted and no fish loss few :)

I've just ordered a new filter a fluval 1 and atm have my fluval 2 in there way too big for there tank. My question is my fluval 2 was a brand new one as am currently cycling the other tank, when i put this new filter in do i just do water changes to keep the ammonia and nitrate levels down...

The adding ammonia method just looked a bit confusing i'm not too great with numbers so food looked easier lol I'll give the ammonia one a try will get some from boots on Thursday =) Thanks.

Just done a 45% water change so hopefully this will bring the nitrate levels down a bit :( poor fishies

Awesome i will do this now then, I've been putting the filter media into the water and trying to get some bacteria into it :( silly filter dying will never buy a stingray again!

So my filter in my tropical tank wouldn't pump so i put a unused and uncycled pump in the tank. Now i'm getting really high readings i need some advice asap :( never had this happen first time. My Readings for my tank is: Ph- 7.2 High Ph- 8.8 Nitrite- 0ppm Ammonia-1.0 ppm Nitrate- 10-20ppm...

Hello, So have had my tropical tank been sitting in my living room filled with aquatic sand and water. It's been like this for quite a while due to money so i thought i would post a diary to try get this tank rolling along. Here are the Readings for Week 1: PH- 7.6 High Ph-7.4 Nitrate-0-5.0ppm...

Wooopsy my bad on the Siamese Flying Fox, didn't realize i put 1.2" that was size they shop was selling them in :) thanks for pointing that out. I have sand in my tank after reading an article about it, although i do have a little bit of gravel on one side of the tank.
