Just wanted to say, added the shells shortly after posting on here and my tank's cycling again (getting there!) and now doing much less water changes because ammonia's staying at .25 or less which is great (no idea what nitrites are though which is worrying as the bottles went missing when i...

Unfortunately, can't get my hands on seeded filter fabric. Adding prime to water before it goes in the tank. Very informative! It's 20g roughly. Didn't want to crush my pretty seashells haha but oh well, will get out the pestle 'n' mortar. Thanks a lot for that.

Right, been trying to cycle tank for over two months, started early june. Still have no joy with it. Tried fishless cycling for a month of it, thought all was going well, ammonia dropping and stuff but then it just stalled and my pH plummeted. So I did a huge water change to bring ammonia to...

Thank you for the input! I did phone the vet yesterday and they said he needed to come in today for an injection (which he unfortunately did not make). So scared the others will start showing signs. I have one cory that's eyes look larger than the other guys and his scales look diff too but...

Thanks for saying. And he just passed =( Was lying on his side for a while. Felt so bad for him. :(

So came home from work today to find my shark sitting on the big leaves of one of my plants. With closer inspection his scales are protruding, stomach really bloated and eyes look puffier. LFS has told me its dropsy and has never seen this cured as its an internal infection, that my fish will...

It's got two corys and a red tail black shark. At first one Cody always followed the other. Now one of them sits in the pyramid and doesn't move whilst the other swims madly up and down the glass and then noses through the sand. I feed them pellets and the shark flakes. Levels: ammonia .25 Ph...

Sand! Looks natural. Although the stuff I got took me absolute ages to clean before I put it in my tank. And it still slightly clouded the water :(

I managed to get mine for £10, was quite chuffed as LFS sells them for £33 :O

He looks blindingly blue haha Lovely colour

Love the stump with all the twisted roots and that head thing, looks great

Yeah read that guide on this forum, found the top link great info too, today my tanks a lot clearer anyway, thanks again guys.

I think Corals. They just look so rewarding to maintain. Hopefully will own a reef somewhere in the far future ... I put plants in my tank yesterday but my aquascaping is rubbish haha.

Ah, I will do, thanks for the advice butterfly_koi

Thanks guys! By prepare do you mean scrubbing the hell out of it in the sink before dumping it in?
