Thank you! I'll try that next time I test

Anyone? Level has still dropped to 5.00ppm

Hi again, back with some more strange test kit results. I'm currently on my 11th day of cycling and it was going pretty well. I'm converting 2.00ppm of ammonia to 0.5ppm within 24 hours. My nitrites have been over 5.00ppm since the third day of cycling and haven't changed since. For the past...

Hello everyone, I set up my 200l/55 gallon aquarium three days ago, and added ammonia up to around 3.0ppm two days ago. I also added Tetra Safestart because it was cheap and apparently it can speed up my fishless cycle slightly. Today I tested my water and saw that the ammonia has decreased to...

I'm getting ready to fishless cycle my 200l/55 gallon aquarium using seeded filter media, but I need an ammonia source. I last kept fish 3+ years ago, and I still have the food from then. Would I be able to use this fish food as an ammonia source, or should I buy some cheap, new fish food or...

Brilliant, thank you so much. It's great news that I can keep so many. Could I ask how many shells you keep per shelldweller?

Hi all, I'm looking at getting a Juwel Primo 70 soon, and would like some advice on stocking. It is 61 cm long, 31 cm wide and 44 cm tall, and it's volume is 70l or 18 US Gallons. I'm planning on having a species-only tank, and I think I've decided on either neolamprologus multifasciatus...

If that's a concern, you could always just get one male gourami if you're not that bothered about breeding them.

I personally like Crested Dwarf Cichlids, but German Blue Rams are nice as well. Crested Dwarf Cichlids are best kept with 1 male and a few females. Also, if you intend to keep Pearl Gouramis, just note that male Pearl Gouramis can be aggressive to eachother, so I'd suggest 1 male and a few...

I recommend Otocinclus as your suckermouth catfish, they get to 2", so a little smaller than you wanted, and need to be kept in schools, but are great for eating algae. A school of them look very effective. Sterbai Cories are nice, good choice. For the schooling fish, Tetras such as Neons are...

Hello again everyone, I'm looking at converting a Fluval Roma 200 into a reef tank and would like some opinions on my current planned stocking list. The tank is 100cm long, 55cm tall and 40cm deep. I'm thinking of getting a pair of Ocellaris, 6 Green Chromis, a Firefish Goby and a Royal Gramma...

I saw this setup online recently and I love it, but I'm not sure what corals they are. I realise there is a large variety in the pictures, but any help at all will be greatly appreciated. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Brilliant! I'm looking at getting pygmaeus corys I think. What food is appropriate for them? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Okay, what about cherry shrimp? And I've decided upon getting the 12 gallon version of the tank.

Hi again everyone, Just wanted to ask if anyone could tell me what food to buy for this stocking list, I'm thinking flakes, sinking pellets and algae wafers. Also, does anyone know or can estimate how much it would cost to feed this stocking list a month? Sent from my iPod touch using...

I recently saw this aquascape that I quite like, but I'm not sure what plants have been used. If anyone could identify them, that'd be very helpful. Thanks :) Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Thanks so much, this was very helpful :) Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

This isn't going to help with your post, but what did you think about your Fluval Edge and what did you stock it with? I'm very interested on purchasing one myself and would love some thoughts from previous owners. Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Would I be able to add any Celestial Pearl Danios to this setup? I was thinking about 8, which takes the overall stocking level to 96% apparently. As they're so small, would they be attacked? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

Hello again everyone, Using all of your advice and a lot of time spent on aqadvisor, I think I've come up with some quantities. Here's what I'm thinking; • 2 Dwarf Gourami • 8 Guppy • 5 Wood Shrimp • 5 Pygmy Cory Aqadvice is saying that the stocking level is 86%. Do you think this amount of...

Hello again. I've posted before about getting a Fluval Edge and what stocking possibilities there are. I was previously unaware of the larger size available in this range, it is 12G instead of 6G. I hope this gives me more possibilities with stocking combinations. I've pretty much decided the...

Hi everyone, Thanks so much for all of your feedback, it's been very useful. I've just found out that Fluval actually do a bigger Edge, which is 46L/12G. Does this make any difference to the type of fish I can get and the quantities? The tank itself is twice as big as the smaller version, and...

Hello again everyone, I've posted before regarding the Fluval Edge 6G/23L and I think I've decided that's the tank I want. I've also pretty much decided the kind of fish/invertebrates I'd like, I just need some help in dealing with the quantities. I want to make sure I don't overstock such a...

I do like the dwarf puffers, but are they good in a community tank with other fish? Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice

I've just googled ember tetra, and they're gorgeous. Thanks :) Sent from my iPod touch using Aquarium Advice
