Hi all I've just noticed that one of my mollies has ich & i just want a bit more information on the best form of treatment for my tank please. Currently i have a 50g freshwater planted tank with the following fish; 8 mollies (3 adult & 5 smaller ones) - Only 1 molly currently has the disease...

I dont but a lot of folks on here do. Or do what i did & do some google image searches for freshwater tanks to get get some ideas etc.

Im pretty new so my advice probably isnt the best but ill try anyway! I guess it depends on the type of fish you have & the kind of look you want to got for...natural or weird! Natural rocks & caves are good as it gives the fish somewhere to hide from light & the other fish. I really love my...

So i went to my LFS yesterday & on a whim bought 4 green spotted puffers that were on offer....probably because they looked really cute. I usually read up on fish that im going to buy but in this case i didnt...big mistake. This is the species i got. I really like these fish & they’re probably...

So i added a large piece of lettuce to the bottom of my tak last night but when i got up this morning there were no snails on it at all. I know there's at least 20 small snails in the tank minimum. So do my snails not like a round british lettuce? Do they have a preferred type of lettuce? Or...

Same thing has happened to me! I thought it was cool at 1st when i saw one or 2 snails. I got some zebra loaches when i noticed their numbers were increasing but i dont think they will tackle snails until they're fully grown. Now last night i counted about 18 without even looking hard. Think...

Yeppers. I thinks its approx 55 (US) gallons.

Hi all. Im still pretty new to the aquarist hobby so my knowledge is still pretty limited which is why im hoping you guys could give me some help please. My tank is 36x18x20 which i think is about 200 litres approx. Got live plants, rocks, caves & driftwood. Currently i have the following...

Thank you for the advice. Ive not started the cycle yet. Im going to order my water test kit off ebay (API Tesk Kit) as its about £10 cheaper than my lfs. Another quick question i have is with regards to the filter inlet & outlet. I've got a duck bill set up but the instructions didnt cover...

Should i change the water in the tank too? Just to update im back home now & i'd describe it as a musky smell...

I'd say stagnent. I was concerned about leaving the water for 3 days but i had my air stones running in the tank...i didnt even think about the water sat in the filter. I dont mind doing a water change but ive already used most of my water treatment (dechlorinator) filling up the tank so i'd...

Hi all. Im a complete noob so im not sure if i need to take any action on this... Im currently just setting up. I have a 2nd hand external filter (aqua one cf 1000) that i filled up but when i switched it on i discovered that it had a leak. I got some O rings which fixed the tap leak but when...

Thanks eco23 (and eveyone else)...your guide looks brilliant. Had a quick read of it last night & i think this will become my official cycle guide! Thank you.

Hi all.. Ive got a few questions with regards to my new tank. Been trying to do my research but there's a heck of a lot of info out there! 1st question is gravel/substrate related. Ive got some pea gravel which my LFS said i would be able to grow plants in. Do i need to get any additional...

Thanks for the reply...ive got another quick question though. I've got an air pump (cant believe they sell them without tubing!) & ive now plugged that in & fed it into the tank...it looks nice. :D Please excuse my ignorance but is the air being supplied by the tube ok to provide oxygen or do i...

Sup people. I'm a complete newbie! Got a pretty large tank from my neighbour that was moving out & ive decided to try & get it all set up. I paid £20 & got a 36 inch tank, stand, a heater, protein skimmer & an external filter. Pretty good deal! My neighbour was doing a marine set up but i...
