Thanks really appreciate it only thing I hated on my 200 was my aquamanta filter meant I had to cut slots in the hood but no big deal if plan on letting the supplied 307 cycle then switch the manta for another new one

Thanks for the reply, my Roma 200 is about 8 years old now i thought the lids on these would have been made a bit better on the LEDs but seem the same but I suppose this is to be expected for the price range it falls in. I seen the eheim has the sliding more solid hood but was unsure if this is...

Hi folks I'm in the market for a 240l tank and have narrowed it down to the roma 240 and vivaline 240, I know the eheim vivaline is more expensive but is it worth it quality wise over the roma, I have a 200 Roma at moment and can't fault it apart from the lids on the tank and the cabinet is...

Hey thanks for the reply, yeh it's a beauty tank I love it :D. Thought about adding to the otto numbers was just wary with having enough algae at first but currently getting them ust to the wafers also. The keyholes are lovely and peaceful I've asked around about putting 2 Bolivian rams in there...

Hi people just wondering if anyone can tell me how stocked i am and if i have any space for more fish, my tank is a fluval roma 200 which i have running with 2 filters, a aquamanta 1000u external and a fluval u4 and my current stock is as follows :   10 x Harlequin 6 x Dwarf Neon Rainbow 2 x...

Thanks a lot ;) good to hear

Lovely stuff thanks :D so is a PH drop normal occurance for end of cycles ?

Thank you i dosed 1ppm at 8 this evening will i be ok tested 8 tomorrow morning if all good big water change temp down and fish time :D ?

So is it because im cycled and the adding of 3ppm of ammonia each time drops to 0 the cause for the low ph, its only recently dropping this low back end of cycle would be around 7.4-7.6 when i started ! or would you keep testing but keep to say 2ppm ammonia ? my tap water is 7.6 ppm thanks :)

Just a quick question hope i aint stealing the thread people :) my cycle is showing 0 on ammonia and nitrite after 24hr after dosing around 3-4ppm im in the stage of doing this a few times but i have a problem with my ph dropping badly from around 7.6 down to 6.4 is this down to nirates been so...

Thanks for the response :) ive fancied some dwarf gouramis but have heard from a few now that they are suspect to health problems ! As one of my other posts say id love a ram if my chemistry is correct the bolivian rams are a lot more hardy are they not ?

Im leaning towards a shoal of harlequin, shoal of tetras (not sure which yet would some of the bigger tetras go well with harlequins ?), few corys but i would also like something a bit larger in there anyone reccommend me something with a bit of size in a community tank ?

Cracking stuff thanks for the replies and advice much appreciated ;) could you recommend another fish if i didnt go for the gourami say as a centre piece for the tank ? also would any of the bigger tetras do well with the corys cherry barbs and a centre piece ? If i went the other way with a...

haha thanks well ive been on my water supplier website with my pstcode and has come back as moderately soft :) would love some advice if this is good enough to go off ;)

Does going on my local water supplier website an putting in my postcode to find my hardness enough or do i need a test of sorts ?
