ok im a total beginner, set my tank up a week ago...my levels at the moment are... nitrite p.p.m 0.05, PH 8.0, alkalinity high 2.9-3.6 i dont know if these are good or bad and what to do if they are bad??? thanks

ok thanks for the advice...just to clarify...the whole black top compartment fills with water...covering the entire power head...then the water emptys back into the tank like a waterfall???

ok thanks. also i have a freshwater tank already set up and the filter has been playing up even though its a week old, its now packed up completely, will my fish be ok till morning when i get a replacement?

its a 190litre tank, and its in my bedroom upstairs, im picturing leaks and the floor falling through! yeah the main connections were installed already, its just a matter of connecting the piping.

i have the cabinet built and the tank in place, now its connecting the filter system and pipes to the tank....worried about things not being fitted correct and water spillage when the tank is filled!!
