Hi, I've got an Oase BioPlus Thermo 100 filter and recently it has started making a weird buzzing noise. I did a water change and it was doing it even straight after the water change so I'm not really sure whats going on, it started happening recently and didn't happen before and I've not made...

Ok thanks. So do you recommend getting some live plants as well then? I wanted to go and get some more at the weekend as just took one non-live one as it started to get very ugly but may opt for some live ones instead if it'll help. Will also buy the ammonia detofixier that the booklet...

It's in the booklet that came with the testing kit, although it doesn't say that up to 4ppm is OK, but more that anything over 0 may affect the fish and to buy the anti-ammonia thing if it's over 4ppm. I had some live plants in the very beginning but took them out months ago, currently just have...

I have yes, did the tests as in the Api test kit. Results are: pH - 7.6 High pH - 7.8 Ammonia - 1.5 ppm Nitrite - 0 ppm Nitrate - 10 ppm From what I read, Ammonia and Nitrate should be at 0 and Ammonia especially can cause respiratory issues which is what the angelfish seems to be experiencing...

Alright thanks. Yeah I'm in the UK. Bought some of the API Tap Water Conditioner, would I need to do another water change now that I've added the JBL stuff? As for other fish I've got a few mollies, neons, a few cory catfish and guppies. All of them are fine and don't show any signs of anything...

Ok thanks. I have added the dechlorifier and the water isn't that bad so should be OK. Is there any estimated time on how long it may take for it to start working? As the angelfish is still doing what it did before, understandable that it's not gonna work instantly. The one I've got is called...

Alright will do that then, bit of a stupid question but can adding the dechlorinator affect any other fish at all? No worries all good :) Thank you, appreciate the help

Exactly 2 weeks yesterday was when I changed it, will be planning a change in the next few days again. Did not dechlorinate, I think I've got the solution for this to just add to water but last time I added it the water got very murky. Will this go away if I add it? Started pretty much straight...

I've got an angelfish that has always been pretty lively, would always come up to the glass whenever it saw me and was pretty eager to eat, but since the last water change something has happened to it and it's very inactive. It just sort of sits in the same few spots and doesn't move around very...
