Unfortunately I can't post a pic at the moment as I'v just done another large water change and it looks more or less clean. All I can tell you is it looks like a snow flurry. The bits are of a fluffy looking nature with no particular shape or size. When I turn the pump off for a few minutes to...

Anybody?

Hi all, I have a problem in my 40ltre tank with what looks like some kind of floating algae. I recently added an air stone and since then I have all this detrits floating around and hazing the water. It's not green but whitish. As I have had great sucess removing all kinds of algae from my 3ft...

Happy shopping! :)

Hi Akasha, yes I do know that...didn't know that when I bought them though, but I can't add anymore at the moment as I will be horribly overstocked. The tanks are only 30ltrs each but I have a much larger one waiting for a space to set it up. I'll stop worrying about them as it sounds like it's...

Obviously that was my first thought but the differences between them sort of threw me because whilst the leopard cory looks fit to burst she's not that much bigger than the male but with the peppered, the male looks like a miniature version of the female, she's enormous, more than twice his...

I have two questions regarding my Corys. 1. I have two peppered corys that I bought together and they were both the same size, 8mths later one hasn't grown at all but the other is huge. The little one feeds well and I can see no obvious symptoms of ill health, does anyone know why this might...

The tank has really good flow, it keeps the sand spotless so I'm assuming bottom flow is not the problem. I'm going to go with oxy levels first off and try to correct that before trying the H202. Does it matter what strength it is? I bought 3%.

Thanks Sanket, this is some information I can understand, lol! I will get an air pump today and will also try the hydrogen peroxide. I don't care about the plants as they are all nearly done for anyway, but is it safe for the fish or should I remove them first? Thanks to everyone else for your...

Sounds like the best idea is to dismantle completely. The substrate is sand and is always spotless but the bga is even under the sand! The tank is near a window but is completely covered up with a blanket until it's dark outside. The bogwood is completely smothered, as are all the plants so I...

Thanks Westwood but already done all of that, it got rid of all the other types but nothing light wise has worked. I'v tested the nitrates and they're around 40 so I don't think it's due to a nitrate problem either. It's driving me insane and costing me a fortune in plants! :angry:

Having got rid of all the other algae problems in my cold water tank I am now stuck with blue green algae which is now covering everything! I have the tank blacked out during the day and don't put the lights on 'till about midday, in total the tank gets about 10hrs a day from the tube. Before I...

Can you still do water changes whilst treating it? I thought I read somewhere not to do a water change 'till the medication period was finished (7 days) :unsure: I'v just noticed, your cat has tabby whiskers! :D I have never seen that before! :lol:

It's ok, I'v found some and ordered it. Would like to know how effective it is, has anyone had any success with this treatment?

Thanks HayzH. Where can I get some and does it seem to be working?
