Hi all! My AguaStyle 980T powerhead has died this morning, after merely 3 years of work :/ It was pumping the water to the spray bar above the tank, and the water is going down through set of sponges and ceramic rings. I have a small replacement filter that can keep the tank going till I get...

Hi. I have moved house last November, and for few reasons I was not able to use a tap water for the tank. Because the place did come with a massive plastic container for catching rain water (the water is gathered from the gutter and after it's been filled it doesn't take any more, so it's fair...

Do I need to dissolve my peroxide first, or do I squirt my 3% solution straight in? I looked at fertilisers, but they only ship to States... Is it available in the UK by any chance?

My tank is AquaStyle 980T, and the lights are - 2x25W (white) and 1x20W - especially for plants, although to combat algae I turned one of the 25's off. I have just ran out of the fertilisers, but I didn't rush to buy one, as I thought it would benefit the algae more than the plants... Was I...

@aquandrew: As a substrate I have a 'standard' gravel. As for water changes-- every week I clean sponges from filters and change about 10-20% of water; every other week (sometimes once every three weeks, depends on Uni's assignments!) I change about 40-50% of water. As for Nitrates, that is a...

Ever since I got myself "Marian" - a Green Severum - I have those algaes on my plants, and I don't know how to get rid of them... It started, because I put bit more food especially for my fish, as I knew it's gonna be a big one (and indeed, he's eating for a whole tank just himself), but those...

Glad your operation went so well :D Congrats! Great pictures, so much room!

Hi all. I just upgraded my Aquastyle 850 to a bigger model (980T), so it is for grabs :) If you live in the UK, preferably in the Midlands area (but not necessary :D), it might be yours for £210 (o.n.o.) I'll be happy to answer all the questions. Here's the link to the eBay page, should you...

Second to that-- having done a similar operation a week ago, I can say that there's no need for bagging and floating. If you use some water from old tank and just top up with fresh, they'll be fine. I did not use the extra containers also. What I've done: - took the decorations and plants out...

Lol, I'm just speechless. I love all the pipework and undergravel jet/intake/outlet construction! (And the valves!!) - is it all connected to the bathroom or something? How do you change the water exactly? Because I know for sure, that my buckets are killing me already with my 64 gallon...

You may want to check the expiry date as well-- I had some issues with my API test kit, and it turned out to be outdated...

Thanks guys! I'll have a look for all three of them :) Btw-- I just checked today, and it's what I suspected: my telly is 42", my tank... 43" :D

Thank you! I just need to add some tall, not too light-demanding plants to fill up the background . . . Any ideas?

My water reads about 40ppm of Nitrate at the moment, and it has been like that since I started my first tank well over two years ago; no matter what I did and how much water I changed, I always ended up with that number-- I think it has something to do with water in my tap. Having said that, my...

After over 5 hours battle I've upgraded the house of my fishy friends-- they live now in a beautiful 245 litres of Aquastyle 950T :D (My old Aquastyle 850 is up for grabs should anyone in the UK be interested!) I used the filters and gravel from the previous setting, so there shouldn't be any...

I have both Mollies and Guppies in my tank, and I think you need to be careful-- a lot of Guppies I had was dying on me even though "perfect" water conditions, and it took me a long, long time to figure out, that it was because of Mollies. They're just eating/pooping machines, and they were...

Got a new marine-blue lightbulb (the old one has decided to finish its cooperation with me)-- it is still a Tropical tank, I just wanted to have some nice lighting for evenings for my fishes. Also-- changed the water (around 50%), added two Lady Guppies and watched the newborn Mollie-babies...

I'm a happy owner of AquaStyle 850 aquarium by Aqua One. I have always been fond of live plants in the tank, but with original lightning there is not too much green I can grow. What would you guys (and girls, obviously) recommend to switch it to? I can't seem to find any original replacement in...

It does look like his only chasing my Mollies around, but the doesn't seem to bother... Would it be coincidence then that my Guppies are lasting only a few weeks and now my Cardinal Tetra's dead? Seems rather odd for me...

I have always had troubles keeping Guppies in my tank, ever since I started my first one over two years ago. Whenever I took any to the tank, they've been dead after few months, sometimes even weeks. Only recently I talked with "my fish store" lady and she told me about one of her customers...

My Ich adventure is over now. In total I've lost five fishes, including Walter the Betta, that was in separate tank altogether :( I reckon it's my fault, as I didn't get the illness too serious, nor I didn't take any precautions and used the same siphons etc. in both tanks while changing the...

My tap water is testing about 20-25 ppm and rising to around 40ppm in the tank. I tried everything apart from chemicals to get it down, even the nitrate sponges, but to no avail; interestingly enough, my fishes doesn't seem to be bothered and even the shrimps (that suppose to be very sensitive...

I didn't think much of it also, before I lost two fishes and another two are about to give up :( I guess the past "summer" has caused them some troubles... Anyway-- it's day 3 now, the temp is steady 29 degrees. I have treated the tank with Interpet's 'Anti White Spot' and tomorrow will repeat...

Yeah, mine is about that size and feels OK in my tank, as you can see :D Although he might get a bit uncomfortable with my Ich infection :(

Day 1: Recently I've noticed a few white spots on my Black Skirt Tetra, today I see it on a few Neon Tetras and my Guppy :( I think it's an Ich and for now will treat (see what I did there? :D) it that way. I've already lost one Glass Catfish and I hope I won't loose any more of my fishy...
