I've just purchased this and hoping someone with experience with this unit can answer some of my questions please. Can it be mounted at an angle? Should it be connected to the outflow pipe? Should the bulb be replaced every 6 months or 12 months? When replacing the bulb do the pipes need...

Quick question. Does Furan2 kill off the biological filtration? The API website says it doesn't but I've heard people say it does

Hey guys. Looking for a bit of advice on what's wrong with my angel. I know he has fin rot which I am treating but I believe that is a secondary infection. The the only symptom he has shown has been a grey slimey patch on his body. I've been treating with an anti slime and velvet medication as I...

Couple of questions. Firstly what would be the minimum tank size for a pair of GBR? Secondly, would they be able to share a tank with a dwarf gourami. I'm guessing probably not but thought I would ask anyway

I've been thinking about getting some of this repashy superfood for a while now and before I do I wanted to see what everyone else thought of it. Also I would like to get one kind that most of my fish would feed on rather than several different, so which ones would you recommend. I have a...

So after having my new fish for almost a week they have finally settled in and let me approach the tank without darting off terrified I was going to eat them. They are actually quite outgoing now. So here they are, my new pearl gourami ?

So this morning I was watching my tank from across the room and noticed the rainbows acting unusual. I went over to check on them and they have the vivid yellow line on their "foreheads" so I guess they're trying to breed. It's fascinating to watch but they're in a community tank and j don't...

So I want to paint the back of my tank black but this is something I have never done before. Previously I've glued black plastic on the back but that didn't look good for this tank as the glass is frosted (I'm not a fan of the frosted glass look either). My question is what paint do I use? Or...

I have a fairly heavily planted tank and it's my first ever properly planted tank so I'm very new to this. I've not done a water change in two weeks because of ich treatment and I've just tested my nitrates which comes out at 5-10 ppm. My question is should I do a water change despite the...

So I think everyone who has ever kept fish know they all have different personalities and some are just plain jerks. Let me see your jerk. Here's mine (the red tailed shark)

Hey everyone. So I picked up some new plants today and I'm unsure what a couple of them are. The shop guy advised me they should do fine in my medium light system but I like to do my research so I was hoping someone would be able to ID them. For some unknown reason I didn't bother asking...

I currently have 2 juvenile angelfish in my 55 gallon tank, one platinum and one black. I bought them as very young/small fish but they were the same size. Unfortunately, since then the black one has become more dominant and bullies the platinum to the point it hasn't grown at all in the two...

I have a planted aquarium that close with liquid ferts once a week and liquid carbon 4 times a week yet I still seem to get quite a lot of algae. Any suggestions to help reduce it would be greatly appreciated. The light is on for 9 hours currently would reducing this period make much of a...

Three new honey gourami, although you can only see two ?

So today my new bigger tank arrives. I have to break down my old one, move the fish out, set up the new one and move the fish in. It might take me a few hours but it will be worth it. The new tank is a Ciano Emotions Pro 100. The reviews I've read on this look positive, the only down side...

Hi I’ve been keeping fish for over 20 years so I’m not a beginner, however I’ve never experienced the trouble I’m having with my latest aquarium. I set up a 125 litre aquarium in April. My first mistake was trusting the shop employee when she sold me some bacteria in a bottle and said stock...

Hi, So my betta has been very sick with parasites and popeye. He didn't move from his leaf for two days and stopped eating. I really didn't think he would make it through the night. However, after treatment, the swelling to his eye/face has greatly reduced, there's no signs of any more...

Has anyone ever had any success with bacteria in a bottle products? I've been doing a fish in cycle for about 8 weeks (I couldn't find any pure ammonia here in the UK) and I'm still only registering ammonia in the tank. I'm a fairly patient person but to not even have even nitrite readings...

Hi, Do you guys know how long the bacteria in my filter could live for if there has been no flow due to a power outage? A family member unplugged it by mistake and it was roughly 24 hours before I noticed. I really don't want to go through a full cycle with a tank full of fish!!!

Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice, my betta keeps flicking himself against his tank ornaments. He has been under treatment for parasites with a combination of salt and an anti parasite medication after developing grey patches of slime in his tail. After two doses he was looking better so I...

Are these baby shrimp?

I have been looking for a black angelfish for so long. I went to the LFS yesterday and spotted this guy, I had to have him. I introduced him to the tank yesterday and despite a bit of bullying from the larger angels at first he has settled in well. He seems to have even paired up with one of the...

The heater has stopped working in my betta tank, without it the tank stays around 73-74. It's gonna be a couple of weeks until I can get another heater. Will he be alright in his tank or would he be better in a breeding net in my community tank????

My betta, Roy, has fin rot :-( He has been really lethargic and lost quite alot of his fins overnight. He is currently in a 17 litre tank with a filter and heater. I did a 100% water change today and added melafix and 3 teaspoons of aquarium salt. I plan on doing another 100% water change...

This is my first attempt at aqua scraping my tank
