Loool I had to go to work that day so didn't have time to think really. Thanks Livewire. Yeah the cable is quite tight to the tank because it's so short. Will try what you've suggested. Thanks :)

Thanks for all your help guys. On closer inspection I realised that the noise is actually my new powerhead (Koralia 1600 l/ph). What I don't understand is that it was completely silent for thr first few days, then started making this noise. I've taken it out and checked the impeller etc but...

When you say turn them back on fully, do you mean turn them both round to totally open before I adjust the flow? Yeah I did that. Or do you mean with the key? Because I get confused with the key, when it says turn it I'm never sure which way and in what position you're supposed to leave it...

Hi, I think I have a problem with my filter. I've had it running since August/Sep when I got my new tank. It's never been silent which has always annoyed me because I've heard they are supposed to be. But it's always been a very low quiet hum that I got used to (it's in my bedroom). On...

Thanks :)

Yeah that's the one but I'm unsure about dosing because the guidline is in gallons. I don't know if it's UK or US? I think it's prob UK but I don't know how many UK gallons 125l is. Do I really have to dose it every day?

BBA was in my old tank. I got rid of it by getting a new tank and all new wood/plants/equipment :lol: I had some green algae in the new one the other night. Is that what you mean? I wiped it off, adjusted the flow and it hasn't come back yet. Finger crossed that's it :)

Lol Sammy, other way round here My LFS has a lovely selection of GBRs and Golden Rams :)

Where are you both? Not that I can get any right now anyway but it'll be nice to find them when I can lol.

Has anyone noticed Bolivian Rams not being very available (in the UK) at the moment? Or is it just everywhere I look/go?

That's not to do with how I set the flow though is it? That's to do with the filter size/stats?

I had the start of some algae issues just below where the spray bar finished(and where I couldn't see much flow) so I've added the other piece now. The only thing is, it seems like some plants are moving a lot more than others. I'm worried I'll damage the plants with more flow, trying to get...

lol thanks, will give it a go :)

My spray bar finishes just above where the algae is on the heater. Probably the plants next to it are the ones i cant really see swaying. I don't know how to tell with the glass at the front though? Do you think I don't have enough flow?

I tried but it's not that clear. It came off very easily. It's hair rather than spotty.
