Best i could get. They're a bugger to get to keep still.

Had this when i first set up my 10g tank and did 5 litre water changes for 3 days or so and it cleared up as quick as it came.

Yeah. Ive dropped it to between 5 and 6 hours now. Hopefully at the very least itll slow it right down until i can get it cycled and some fish in to sort it out.

I was overlighting. I had light on for 12 hoirs a day to try and help the live plants take. Ive cut that right down. Ive also started doing 10% water changes daily. Thing i dont want to do is be fighting a losing battle with it once stocked, want to cause as little disturbance as possible once...

Waiting for my tank to cycle and have got a bit of a problem with algae, its not on the glass but growing from the plants (both plastic at the back and live at the front) was wondering 2 things: 1 The best way to get rid of this whilst im cycling 2 what would be the best fis/invert to get to...

Are they on their own or with fish?

this is what the web stuff looks like.

Filter is an aquael asap 300 cartridge with sponge.

Just done my first water change. After pouring the new water in i noticed some white cotton like material floating about and a 'web' like substance on the plants at the front. Is this anything to be worried about or is it the bacteria forming? There are no fish and just ran a test and...

Never seen embers before. Quite a pretty little thing. Ill check out that website when im not meant to be working.

Was just thinking of what to put in my 54 litre (11g) tank and knoww i am going to get maybe 5/6 tetras, but was just wondering on what others thought would go well with them. Like the idea of a few shrimp, have a few hiding places at the moment, but will get more if the sword grass takes ok...

No fish yet. Was going to leave it cycle for a week then get maybe a few tetra to help it along a bit. Ive been adding aquacare bio boost to it as stated on bottle.
