I like this very much!

I've got Fluval 305... First basket I've got coarse sponge, second basket, bags of black stick things? (Looks like chocolate sprinkles, lol) and top basket is ceramic rings/tubes... I obviously need to improve my setup, what should I go out to the store and buy?

Thanks guys, I  did a 50% water change, cleaned filters and ran ALL my filters, including my spare ones, just to try and get them levels down! Back down to 1 filter again, will go to get my water tested tomorrow afternoon I recon..

Hello :D

Got a betta in there now with about 8 guppies, all seems good so far... The betta looks quite happy swimming around..

Argh! Help! Just had a water test done by the local pet shop... Ammonia is fine, Nitrite is fine BUT Nitrate... Nitrate showed up dangerously high... Between 80 and 120PPM!!! The guy at the shop said I should do a 20% water change, is there anything else I can do to get this level down??

Bit silly, but I don't have any way of testing the water as of yet... I need to pick up a testing kit..

Hi,   Will Cherry and Amano Shrimps live together well? Are there any risks involved?

Hello,   Just wondering, how can I help enhance the colour of my fish? A couple of my fish are starting to look a little dull :(

It's likely to be the heater... Mine clicks when it comes on and clicks when it goes off

Went to the store today and took back my Bala sharks :( but I brought home a Betta, 3x Glowlight Tetras, 3x Harlequins and a Plec :D   The Betta is settling in well, seems to be getting along with the guppies quite well!

Why get rid of it? I quite like the little guy

So last night, I went to have a quick look at my fish tank. Out of nowhere, this little tiny baby snail appeared on the glass! My question is, where the hell did it come from?!

Maybe spooky ornaments? No idea :P

So apparently, the 205 cannot be trusted... Started as a few drops then a big stream, would have flooded my room if I didn't catch it in time!
