Do you think the nozzle shoudl be out of the water, creating a 'waterfall' effect?

As an update , i moved the filter output so its now inline with the water level and spraying horizontal. It doesnt seem to be creating as much surface disruption as when i had it pointing upwards at the surface, but im assing this is fine?

Yea, i think mine is the model below: https://www.fishkeeper.co.uk/aqua-range-aqua-eco-heater?queryID=74c05238d9246f3618fbfd0e24ad7d32&objectID=41003&indexName=magento2_livedefault_products

Yea, i have bought bog wood as its meant to reduce PH. Have used forms of PH reducer's before which did nothing

the long thin black 'pipe' with the slits is the heater :)

Hi, There may be a bit of confusion here (or ive misunderstood). so the tank has one filter with sponge media and ceramic rings (the white media you can see) (Superfish Aqua-Flow 300 Aquarium Filter). The other item is then a heater, so shouldnt really be messign with the intake as this is the...

does this work?

As mentioned here is the video. Water change was done on Saturday( 5 days ago). Nothing has been added apart from a pinch of food daily. If ore the green tint, it is due to medication added last week which changes the waters colour.

Will do, but i can confirm from the past few weeks that ive limitted adding everything, other than daily flakes and the film will return :lol:

Yea no problem, I do my water changes on a saturday, so ill video next week so you can see what its like (none visible at the moment). The balls seem a solid product, and its not as if the issue started as soon as i used them, it was more of a general thought if excess bacteria can cause the...

this i think - AquaCare Tropical Flakes At one point as stated, i was feeding every other day incase it was the food, but it still made no difference. i also feed them some garlic shrimp once a week

I only recently swapped to it in the hopes that it would stop the oil, so it had existed before the flakes to

Bio balls (again, havent actually added any new ones for a while) - EVOLUTION AQUA PURE AQUARIUM 50 BALLS FISH TANK START UP CLEAR WATER TREATMENT | eBay This is my water conditioner, and have the same brand Bio booster (will usually add a small top up each water change) - Fluval AquaPlus...

Hi, I did som e online research a while back, so made sure there were no sprays,candles, scents etc in the room, and it is away from the kitchen (and with a lid on). I even tried buying new fish flakes, and reduced the amount they were given, and even tried feeding once every other day. I also...

Hi, so i have a filter with an output nozzle, its currently pointed at a 45 degree angle close to the surface, so creates surface dension and some firectional flow. there a gap aroun the nozzle with no oil due to the distrubed water, but thats it. Im assuming its what ever is causing the oily...

Firstly, apologies as I know I have asked questions about an oily surface before. Nothing I do gets rid of it. I have tried the kitchen towel/skimming techniques, as well as dipping a cup just below the surface to collect it, but within a few days/weeks it returns. So just now live with it...

Perfect, will do! out of curiosity, what is the slime/cause of it? may do some reading around it just to up my knowledge

Change every week between 10/20%. aim for 10% (is one bucket) but then may do another small amount if needed e.g. more debris. Did a chance saturday and havent medicated since (didnt want to over medicate) but it may seeem like its okay now due to the reflection mark, rather than a fungus mark

Hi, Thanks for this. It wasnt until i read your comment that i saw the blue marking you refernced. in Reality it isnt blue (it may have just caught the reflection) but is more of a white/grey colour (will try to get another photo. This was where the previous whitespot was, but im wondering if...

Is this fish ill with Whitespot/fungus, or just discoloured? Got 6 harlequin rasboras (now 5 as one died) on 18th of Feb to join 3 tetras in my 60L tank. I noticed one had a white mark and frail looking top fin (didn’t look severe enough toi be fin rot). I have treated with Whitespot and fungus...

As you say, i think its obvious that quarantine is necessary, but how long would you say these needs to be done for? i have had frequent issues with my existing tank, and am still just tryiong to get it up and running and stocked, where it can jsut be left to enjoy. As a result ive been a bit...

Hi, Over the past few months ive had a range of issues in the tank. When ive had a major issue ive done water tests which all give fine water readings. A few times ive even taken a sample to the fish store to do more detailed tests, and these also come back fine. Are there some generic things I...

Thank you for that! Very helpful and alot for me to take away. Appreciate it :)

im assuming then theres nothing i really need to do here, and just let nature take its course, and then wait to see if she lays eggs and if they ever end up hatching or not? ive had them in for 2 years or so and was under the assumption they were all the same sex, so was abit surprised by this...

oh amazing. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but shouild i be expectingm baby tetras, or will she just lay non-fertalised eggs? i usually give them a pinch of flakes every other day ( have a bit of a snail and debris issue, which i read can be countere dby lowerign the feeding, and...
