Hi all, Sorry to be a pain, I'm just really struggling to get to grips with the flow rate in regards to what rate is need for the size tank. The tank I'm looking at will be 400 litres... So would the...

Thanks for your advice guys, I am now keen to buy a filter which is capable of maintaining a higher volume of water than our tank is.

Can anyone suggest any models of external filters which they...

Hi all, sorry I haven't posted in a while.

I have never had an experience with external filters before now and would be grateful for any advice please.

Two days ago our Juwel Rio 400 tank...

I have 15 zebra danios and they are such great fun to watch chasing each other!

Hi everyone..
My 7 clowns were doing great, however about 2/3 weeks after introducing them into my tank, they developed white spot. We quickly treated them with Interpret medication but had no...

Hi Everyone!
Just though I'd upload a picture of my new clown loaches. (Its not a great picture)
I have 7 of them! There absolutely amazing fish, always out playing. They know when its lights out...

Thanks for the replies. Both ammonia and nitrites are 0. We only have one female molly now, she seems to be happy enough, although I know we should add more..
I'll read up on the salt factor

I've lost three mollies in the space of a week. At first I thought it was due to a spike in ph, but it has since been stable and we lost another one today. All of which have had red lips, which...

We have the same test, but it just seemed to be reading between 5 and 10. The ph is now 7.0. However it did seem to be constantly falling (below 6) therefore we have put coral rock in our filter (as...

ph 7.0, ammonia 0ppm, nitrites 0ppm and nitrates only 7ppm (not sure what this should be - think higher?)

We think the fish died as a result of low ph as we went on to lose another molly and 2...

All our parameters are showing fine. We also took a water sample to our local store today, and everything was okay. However, Last night we lost another guppy and when we first done a test it was sky...

100 gal tank been running for about 5 weeks now
We have 15 cardinals, 2 bristlenose plecs, 6 glass cats and 4 honey red gouramis. Did have 5 zebra danios (now 4) 6 guppies (now 5) 4 mollies (now 3)....

Plain White sand

I done a water change the day before yesterday and yesterday one of my guppies died. The ph was fine yesterday at 6.6, so we didnt think it was the ph. Today one of my mollies died. A zebra danio...

My two bristlenose eat the wafers and veggies. They seem to really like cucumber!

Tank is 100 gal with live plants and shelter

What other gouramis would get on well with my 4 honey red gouramis? I was thinking about 2 3 spots and another kind.. suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I have the recommened heater which is 300w for the juwel rio 400, but it doesnt seem to be right. I have been struggling to get the temp any higher than 24 and it was on full. We found by lifting the...

I would recommend amazon swords, they look cool, and are doing fine in my tank..

Really sorry to hear about your fish.
I've been having trouble raising the ph in my tank too. I have finally got it stablised and have also put the coral in the filter in a pair of tights. Hopefully...

The plants on the left are amazon swords.

I cant believe this! Thats unbelieveable..you had the guts to do that! Really pleased for you, and glad peru is back to his old self! :19:

Thanks for all comments everyone! The background is from juwel, but we cut it to shape around the filter. You can buy a filter surround, but we made that one from off cuts..and its actually better!...

Hi everyone, thought it would be good to post a couple of videos up so you can see how its looking so far. In there we have..
15 cardinals
