Hi there I may need to empty my tank for a few months. Due to some re decorating. What should I do? I hear the silicone can dry out and fail once it is really filled. How should I avoid this.

Here are some amateur pics of my recently cycled tank. What u think

How about a keyhole cichlid and maybee a kribensis. How would that work

Ok so to my 55 gal tall I have added 6 peppered Cory's. 6 diamond tetras. 2 Otto's. And 3 Armano shrimp. Now for a centre piece. I don't want an angel discus or gourami. So my choices are pretty limited. Some colour would be good too. Any ideas thanks

I would love to get a black ghost nife. I think they look awesome. Sadly my 55 gallon is to small. I would totally get a 120 if I had the spare cash sand space. I hope to some day. Might have to sneek it past the missus first ha ha

Thankyou. I no longer use my magazine float. Just a lot of Otto's and a scraper. Ha ha.

Thanks. Do your scratches look as I described. Sorry to be a wimp but I don't want a disaster lol

Some parts of the scratches look wider than others. I don't know if they are chipping or if it is algae or not. Any ideas what would chipping look like

Just noticed after using my may float I have scratched my tank in the bottom corners and up the left hand side. They look like hairs on the inside. I can feel the with my nail. My questions is. Is my tank in danger. What can I do. Is it a big deal. Can anyone calm my mind. Thanks

ha ha, thanks for all the info people, i think i might go with some angels, i want two, is it nescessary to get male and female?, what type of angels should i go for, new to this thanks

Today I bought 6 diamond tetras. They look awesome. Could I add some angels. Or would dwarf gouramis be better?

Thanks. Never thought about discus before. I like rosy barbs. There're are so many choices. What about barbs and cardinal tetras

hi there, i have just recently cycled my 55 gallon cube, after moving house, currently i have 6 peppered corys, one otto, and 3 amano shrimp, could anyone recommend a good schooling fish, also what else could i have, just after a bit of freindly advice. this is the best palce to get it

hi there, hope i can help, i seeded my tank after i moved house, after adding filter media from lfs, i saw a nitrite spike nearly straight away, this after dosing with ammonia to 4ppm, all i did after that was to keep dosing to around 4ppm, then test, then test next dayb before i added ammonia...

I had some in my tetra hob a few years back. I hear it is a perfect environment for them to live damp and warm. Mine were kept under control by my golden panchax Lillie fish. Other than cleaning it regularly I don't know a way of getting rid of them
