Thank you. It means a lot. :)

Honestly it's been cycled etc. It did once have raised nitrite levels. But nothing bad since. I don't know how/why the levels are like that. They just are. Must be doing something good. :)

Id give it more than a few days. Took a month of soaking to do our driftwood piece. Even now it still discolourates the water.

Would use pellets for sharks. They usually feed at the bottom of the tank.

Actually just had a thought and could and most likely be wrong but it's a thought ... If your filter has 3 different components such as White filter, carbon filter and the block filters... Could the block filters be the cause? In my filter they are creamy White in colour a bit like chalk. Could...

I dont know about the dust. Hope you get some answers. :)

My answer to question 1. I clean my filters by dipping them in tank water during pwc. Then giving them a good few squeezes in the water. Does the job for me.

The main tank has some form of problem going on. Have had some deaths and sick fish the since yesterday. I've taken the filter from finding nemo (goldfish) tank and put that in. He has always been a healthy fish. A few weeks ago we went away for a week. I forgot to leave the filter on. He was...

At the moment nope. The moral of the story is don't buy fish from pets at home.

I got a proper tank today instead of the bucket for quarantine purposes. It's on and cycling at the minute. But my question is ... What happens if you don't need to put fish in it for a while? Do you need to then recycle? And as obviously fish won't be in it all the time will it mean the...

Sorry. I didn't mean to sound like I was having ago at you. I had been asked once before whether it was cycled when I got the water tested. Lol. Whatever were doing must be good news on the water conditions front. One of the other guppies rear fin is slightly curved at the bottom. I did...

Thanks. Lost a guppy this morning too. Hoping the rest will pull through. How are yours doing now your betta has been removed?

The tank is most certainly cycled! I assure you of that. There has never been a problem since the guppies moved in. Just since the sharks did. I'm wondering if they were a 'bad batch' from store. But whatever was wrong with them has upset the guppies now too. I've put in some health guard...

Am 0.0 Ph 7.1 Nitrates 0.0 Nitrites 0.1

Checked today. Water is just fine. No raised levels whatsoever. BB died whilst I was out. :(
