one of my biggest fears is going blind and I know round worm can cause Toxocariasis, so very concerned if i ever got round worms in my tank would they effect me?

I like it here as people give good advice and are not annoyed by me asking newb questions XD I have anxiety and ocd so worry I'm doing things wrong and coming here is good for peace of mind :) I also don't have any friends accept my bf who is into the hobby, but he is also a newb like me XD

Ok awesome thanks gonna go and get some today :D

I found this Beadalon Supplemax Clear 50M | Hobbycraft hope that would be safe?

Ok thanks, I'll see if I can find that in the UK, hopefully I can. :)

What brand of fishing line? There's some that are probably toxic.

Someone told me that would hurt the rhizome and cut into it :( I have 0 experience so really don't know, also if fishing line is ok, what brand?? I did really want to use thread though no idea what type and what would be safe

So I really need to know, theres no straight answer, one person says this is safe then someone else says its not. :L One person said i should use black but then I'm worried that the dies will leach.

Thanks guys I worry to much probably haha, but glad I can talk to people with fish keeping experience as that helps me a lot!

So a few weeks ago, before i set everything up, I remember my bf cleaning my tanks stand with detergent before we used it. Everything's set up now and I have been using my stands shelves to store my fish stuff on. I'm worried about the stuff on it, most things are in bottles but my extra...

Thanks for all your replies guys, I have recently purchased a fluval E 50 Watt as think my 100watt was to powerful for my tank anyways, plus the fluval is submersible! So thats great.

I hope your right, so worried for my plants ahaha, I don't have any fish in there yet but the plants are still very important to me.

Thanks for all your replies, I do have some bubbles, not sure how to tell if they're soap bubbles or not?

Bit of a dumb question, but I am new to keeping fish and already know soap is bad for fish, right now i have just plants in my tank, and I do wash my hands with antibacterial soap after using the toilet etc. but always rinse thoroughly with cold water before putting my hands in the tank. Though...

It does say, I've attached a image :L

OMG just found out that you need to keep the head out of water!! The guy at LFS said its fully submersible...I am out raged. I have now just taken the head out so slightly but fear its just gonna fall down. Ordering new heater asap. What a waste of £30

I hope it will be ok, apparently Juwel heaters switch off if the water level drops so hopefully that goes for my Juwel heater XD This is the one i have https://www.juwel-aquarium.co.uk/Products/Accessories/AquaHeat-adjustable-heater/

I just realized that yesterday when i was doing my water change i forgot to un plug my heater..at least i think, I took it out today to check for cracks and can't see any, its a juwel 100 watt submersible with that 'water must stay at this level!!' thing, I have bad anxiety so just looking for...

Thanks for replying I'm trying to find out what some of them are also might taken out the Rubin as it grows huge apparently here are some more pics

I wish I had just ordered my plants online now, then i could of got better suited ones for my tank, but thought it would be better asking at my LFS, welp not doing that again XD

Thats awesome! I want to get more tanks soon, my current one is turning out to be a disaster though, the guy at my LFS sold me all the wrong plants! Guess what, they're all planted in my tank now, so upset, its just one mistake after another, if anyone could give me some advice I'd really...

found out what two of my plants are 1.Lobelia Cardinalis 2.Echinodorus Rubin Looked them up and the need 2-4watt per gallon! My 15 gallon is only got a 10.8 wat 7500 :(

Ok thanks will do, was gonna have just a few other fish with the Betta as my tank's only 15 gallon, don't want to over stock it XD

Haven't got one yet, only set this tank up with plants yesterday :P But if the plants do well im gonna get one, I have to wait fo the tank to cycle a bit, it says with eco complete you don't but i think i should really

This is my tank, bad picture took it with the lights off XD
