Hey just letting you know I had to give it a good pull as it's on suckers! The amount of sludge was unbelievable! Glad to report the water output is perfect now [emoji4]. Thanks for your help!
Sorry I think I'm being a bit thick (complete novice!). Do I need to pull out that tube as well because it looks filthy! It's a really small gap and even my child couldn't reach inside to pull out the pump :-/
My daughter has an internet 19l Nani tank. The filter flow has dropped considerably and the manual says to check the impellor. I have no idea how to do this, can anyone advise?
Thanks in advance
Hi I need to dose my neon tetras with anti fungus and fin rot, how long should I leave the filter cartridge (Interpet service pack) out of the filter tank area for?
Many thanks
Sorry for my late reply!
The fish are doing well, thanks. I think I'm getting the hang of the siphon and using it to vacuum the gravel substrate.
Up until now I was using test strips to check the water parameters, but I've heard it's not the most accurate method?
Hello, just letting you know that this morning all the fish have improved colour, looks like the 25-30% water change helped plus the anti white spot treatment is working very well, I'll be sure to give the second dose in a few days as recommended on the bottle. I'm going to get two small plants...

Thanks so much for your reply!
I've tested for nitrates and nitrites and pH everything is ok, and I use tap safe whenever I've added water. My tank is 19 litres, I think that's 5 US gallons? As for the filter, I've got Interpet service pack life support. I notice that a number of food flakes...
Hello from London!
My 10 year old child did a lot of research and told me all about cycling tanks, nitrate levels and so on, and was patient enough to wait about 2 months before we bought our neon tetras :)
Looking forward to learning more about fish-keeping from you all :)
Hi all,
I have a tank that was cycled for several weeks before getting our new neon tetras. We had 6, sadly one died near the filter after about 3 days (we've now had the fish for just 9 days). One developed a white spot/lump under the mouth around the same time and I've given a dose of...
