Thanks Wills Its the Mrs tank so I will get her to read this when she gets home, she is obviously glad to finally get some fish in, seems to take for ages to get the tank ready about 6 weeks in the end, we had a mishap or two on the way, so many different bits of advice. I'm watching intently...

Well we finally have some fish, god it seems like ages even the credit card bill for the tank has come and gone :lol: 2 Black Molly's, 2 Silver Moll's and 2 Dalmation Molly's..... all doing well so far :good:

Harlequins you are a total star, thanks very much :good:

Thanks Ash, may give this a go. I did manage to find some plastic test tubes on Ebay and a nice stand/drying stand so will see what there like first.

Thanks but so far cant find a price or uk supplier

I was going to try somthing like that but wanted to get the actual ones if possible, and belive it or not I work at a Hospital and hadnt even thought of trying there !

Hi All Wifey has had an accident and smashed all the test tubes from our API Freshwater Master Test Kit ! Does anyone know where you can get replacements from ? I have trawled the net but cant seem to find any, and we dont want to buy a whole new kit just to get the tubes !

Even mine ?

Assaye Thanks again for the tips, Mrs Tybs has been reading up and is now going to avoid the Malawis, and go for more commons breeds see below, as for Fishless Cycle if the inserted picture below works that is what she is doing. And its intersting what you have said about the Tetra's ! We...

Well gave in and bought the proper stand and changed where we were having the tank. Its now in filled and stocked with ornaments and plants and Fishless cycle started. Looks pretty good, I hope to have some pictures up soon And thought I would give the mrs some ideas of what fish to add...

Thanks all for the comments, will be going out this weekend to see if we can find a suitable tank, and if we do get one pictures and cycling diaries will follow.

Many thanks Assaye for all the comments, I have passed these onto the other half and I think we are now considering an alternative, something more normal, just got to find the right tank for the location we want to put it. Also my wife wante to have some nice plants in the tank and this seems to...

Yes I take your point about a larger tank but at the moment I dont have the room without redesigning the room, the BiOrb we are thinking of is not a bowl but a retangular shape Taller than wider BiOrb Life and if the wife likes it and manages to keep the fish alive I have no doubt we will be...

Gvilleguy & Jenste Many thanks for your comments all taken on board, and I had read on this site about Fish-less cycling and will be doing that too, our local supplier even suggests taking a water sample into them prior to stocking to ensurre all is ok. Just wondered if there are any major...
