I don't have any corals in my tank but currently have an infestation of some kind of nudibranch. Is there anyway to get rid of them or any fish that will devour these? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi I want to add a couple of damsels to the tank but I don't have a clean up crew in, is it necessary to have them first or will the fish cope ok for a week or so until I add them? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm about 1 week into the cycle and I've started to find green hair algae growing on rocks and my sand bed. I haven't got a phosphate test kit yet but I think there is something wrong? Is this a normal part of the cycle or a sign that my levels are just finding their balance? Also how long...

Hey I currently have 2 tanks a fluval Vicenza 180 and a fluval m90 and I want to make one of them a marine tank. Would it be better to convert the 180 litre with a hob skimmer and the external filter or use the smaller m90 which has a 40 litre sump? I was told a sump is always better but the 180...

Hey, I've recently bought a new tank with rock but it's all dried out how long will it take to make the rock live again? It's a brand new tank so I won't have anything cycled. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I've kept tropical fish for a few years now and I'm thinking of switching over to marines, I was at my LFS and saw a fluval m60 for £399. I've done some research and I know bigger is better for novices so I was looking at the m90 which is 36 gallons, does anybody have any reviews of these tanks...

My female panduro is lying on the floor of tank breathing very heavily. She has got worse and worse over the past few days and I have no clue what's wrong with her. She rarely moves unless it's to move to a different hiding place. My tank is fully cycled and water parameters are all good so only...

Iv just upgraded my tank from a 75l to a 180 litres. Approx 40gal. I have an external filter unit built in but no sump. Will an external filter full of small pieces of live rock, a hob protein skimmer and plenty live rock in the tank be an okay way to run a marine tank? I really want to swap...

Iv just bought a new 40 gallon (47USgallon) tank and I'm thinking about setting it up as a marine tank. Would I need live rock to cycle the tank? Would I need some extra filtration? I have an internal filter and an external filter doing 200lph? Also what kind of fish are good starter fish? I've...

I am setting up a 180 litre tank and want some convicts. Which others will be able to handle living with them because I know they are agressive, especially when breeding. I was thinking maybe firemouths and jack dempseys. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi I have a 180litre well planted tank and I want some American and South American cichlids. Which ones are best suited?? Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm looking to upgrade from my community tank to a new world cichlid tank. The tank is a well planted 180litre tank. I want new world cichlids but don't really want anything bigger than 6 inches due to my tank size. Any suggestions!? Cheers!

How often should I change my carbon filters? I have 2 in my 75 litre tank.

I keep ram cichlids and the recommended ph is around 6.5, what's the best ways to lower the ph as mine is about 7.4 from the tap. Thanks!

I want to setup a ram/cichlid tank, will a firemouth cichlid and a blue ram cichlid be okay in a tank together?

What is the smallest size tank recommended for starting a cichlid tank?

I had 11 fish in my tank, 2 Odessa barbs, 5 cherry barbs 1 Cory catfish, 2 loaches and a German blue ram. Yesterday I added one more Cory catfish yesterday and ever since fish have slowly been dying. All the fish seem very lazy, not swimming and eventually floating around the tank and dying. I...

I have 2 Cory's in my 75l tank, both are very slow moving, they are hiding beneath plants and sort of floating against them. When I move the plant they swim away and start again in a different spot. Is this a sign of disease? I checked my water and everything reading 0 with a ph of 7.

I have a tank with a German blue ram cichlid and I'm looking to add more cichlids. What is the best type? I really like the yellow lab cichlid, but they are from a different area, however I've read that they are a less aggressive cichlid. Help!

I have just added a male German blue ram to my tank and I'm going to add one female next week. Is there anything I can do to encourage breeding? And anything special I will need to ensure some of the fry survive. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

I have just added a German blue ram to my tank and I want them to be the centre piece fish of of my aquarium. Which fish are the best tank mates to add with them? I already have cherry barbs, Cory catfish and Plecos. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
