Do you clean your filter media regularly? I suggest doing a bit of research and purchasing a new filter and run them in conjunction with each other for a week or two then simply take the old filter out and solely run the new one.

I bought my first tank as a kit so the filter and heater was included. The filter was pretty cheap and just about done the job. I have since upgraded my tank and bought a Fluval U2 filter. I have noticed a huge difference. Have you done any water tests? Do you treat your water, and if so what...

Hi budified, the first fish I purchased to start my tank was 2 mollies but one sadly passed away a few months back. I understand they like a little salt in the water but could not change the water conditions for one fish. My molly does seem pretty calm but a little lonely as the other fish group...

I experienced similar issues with my old filter which came with my starter tank. This was a relatively cheap filter and would occasionally make a soft buzzing noise. Unplugging it for about a minute and plugging it back in seemed to work a treat.

Hi guys, Just thought I would introduce myself to the Forum. I am pretty new to fish keeping having only had my tropical tank for less than half a year. I have recently upgraded my tank from a 40 litre to a Fluval 90 litre tank. It contains a Molly, 2 Male Guppies, 5 Neon Tetras, a Bristlenose...
