Will do that tonight, thanks again, really appreciate the help

Hi thanks so much for the advice it is invaluable, they don't tell you much at all do they when you go into the shop and ask for info!!!!! Do you think I should do a water change now???? And if so, what percentage should I change and do I leave the fish in the tank when I do this?

I filled up the tank added tap safe and filter start and as directed on the filter start leaflet have been testing for nitrates and adding more filter start, all of the water tests again and the ph is at 7.5, the nitrate is at 0.1 and th ammonia is at 0.25 all of which it says are good levels...

I have just set up my first tropical tank and yesterday bought four femaly platys. Am very concerned as they are very inactive and mostly just kind of hanging around at the top of the tank????? Is this normal or do I have a problem????
