hi,
recently ordered a Eheim thrmocontrol heater for the aquarium. This product has a 2 pin US plug, 120 Volt. Will this work in the United Kingdom?
Thanks

Finally added the fish to the little tank. White Cloud mountain minnows and Gold minnows. i guess the nitrates will take care of itself after going up and down past few days. Added a few plants like pothos and lucky bamboo. Wish me luck!
Yes, all through.....I'm scared to loose any fish...that's all:)
I think i'm getting there.....i;m focusing more on the nitrates right now ....bought lucky bamboo, maybe duck weed as floating plants ....let you know.
Fishless cycle experiment!
Hi Aiken
These are my tests results for 2 weeks. I cannot figure out what is happening here...
Whether I'm on the right track or no... I really do not know. Thanks!
Day 4 (29 01/2022)
PH: 7.6
AMMONIA: 1.0 - 2.0 PPM
NITRITE: 2.0 - 5.0 PPM
NITRATES: 40 - 80 PPM...
first fishless cycle experiment!
Hi Aiken,
Thanks for your reply. I'm doing a fishless cycle with fish food flakes. Do I need to buy sperate ammonia for the tank or it will work with fish food too?
thanks!
Hi, I'm new to the aquarium hobby. Recently bought the API master test kit. I'm planning on doing a fishless cycle. After adding API tap dechlorinator, waited for 24hrs and added tetra safe start. After 4 days I have tested the water and these are the results...
PH:7.2-7.6,
Ammonia...
