I am using the API master test kit. I have tested ammonia with both with the same result. It seems that I am getting no fluctuations in levels of my reading which is making me think that Stress Zyme is may be the cause

I am now in the 5th day of my fish cycle. I bought the ammonia alert by seachem and am currently trying it out. I am cycling my tank with the use of stress zyme to make things easier on the fish. I , till this day have had zero readings on ammonia, nitrite and very very low readings on the...

Thanks Fishyfanatic, When I said community tank I actually meant a community of malawi cichlids. Sorr my fault. I new there are several species of Malawi's and was wondering if it was safe to mix within this species? The LFS has 30 in their tank which is about 65G and they recommended aroung...

Higuys, It has taken a while to respond, sorry about that. I have done more research on cichlids and have a couple of questions: I am looking at cichlids from lake malawi, I have a 55G tank in the cycle process and the questions I have are: 1. How many cichlids can I sock with this tank...

Hi guys, Went to the LFS today. They showed me this new T5 light and was wondering if anyone had suggestions. This light had twin globes, 1 blue and 1 white and the affect was brilliant in the cichlid tank they had on display. Much better then a standard single. BTW the light was about $270...

Hi guys, I am wondering if any body knows of or has themselves built a mobile cabinet for their fish tank. What I means is wheels that can obviously take the weight so that a fish tank and cabinet can be relocated when and if you chose. I am starting construction of my cabinet shortly and...

Thanks all. Apprecite your assistance.

Can you use sand stone as a decorative stone in a FW tank? Thanks

Hi, The tanks are 90cm x 30cm deep x 45 cm H and approx 125L

Hi all, Bad News: Turns out my 55L hex tank that I was bringing back from the dead has died. Its got a leak. Good News: What a great excuse to go for a new rectangular 2 for or 3 foot tank. I live in Sydney and have been quoted around $75 for a 2 foot and $130 for a 3 foot. Was wondering...

Hi All, When I get home I will let you know specific of what the products do. Thank you for your input anyway. I definitely will not cycle the tank with fish (even though it was suggested by the LFS to do so). I have read several posts in some forums that suggest a raw untreated prawn from...

Hi all, Just want to give a big thankyou to everyone who has taken the time to help. My 15g hexagonal tank has finally started to take form. This is what I have purchesaed today: 1. Eheim 2213 canister filter 2. Hydor inline heater 3. API MAster test kit 4. Cycle by Nutrafin (reduces...

I think the eheim 2213 does 115gph at a head of over 4 foot. This is the smoallest eheim available i think.

Jchillin, Thanks, what I meant was I havent filled the tank and tested anything yet. I am just getting setup and ready so I can do it right the first time.

Hi All, This is probably a sill y question but I shall ask it anyway. I went to the LFS here in sydney and they had some beautiful short grass which I was interested in planting through my tank. Also adding larger plants at the back. Looking at the photos in some of the forums on planted...

Hi, Would love your advise on fish types: My tank will be a 55L hexagonal with more than likely eheim 2213 cannister for filtration. I am looking at fine gravel o accomodate a combination of live and plastic plants. I have not setup the PH as I am still deciding on the fish. So I will need...

Thanks guys, My main concern was that because of the capacity of the canister I may be causing too muach turbulance for the fish. Thanks

Hi all, I have a 55 Litre hexagonal tank and am tossing up my options for a freshwater tank filter. My preference is to use a canister filter eg eheim 2213. The reasons for this are: 1. The HOB filters dont look good as I want the filter concealed 2. Internal filters take oo much room...
