Hi guys, Thought I'd make a journal of my tank since I converted to the salty side of life :) The tank itself is a Juwel Lido 120 (120 litres) in black and I originally started it off as a freshwater tropical tank with real plants and driftwood, but I knew I wanted to go marine and I was...

Hi guys, Set up my tank the other day with Tetra plant substrate and black sand (which i rinsed many times until it was clear in the bucket) but the water is just mega cloudy, i can physically see the white hazy cloud moving round the tank - sort of like when you have the hot tap not quite on...

Hi guys and girls, I shall be receiving my new tank later this week so would like to get myself prepared for setting it up for real plants, and i would appreciate it if you could look over my plans and see if you think it would work please :) I dont want to go for a high maintenance tank...

Hi guys, I ordered a new tank yesterday, as titled, a Juwel Lido 120 in Black :cool: Its a bit of a step up from my 30L Clearseal so to say I'm excited is an understatement! I am going to venture into the planted tank world for the first time, so doing a lot of reading up at the minute on...

Hi guys, Had a bit of a change round with my 30L FW so I now want to run it without a lid, but use a drop in sheet of acrylic instead. Which means I will need a new light, where you guys come in :cool: ATM I have a cheap 3 LED jobbie and tbh it doesn't cover the tank how I would like it to, so...

Hi guys, Just witnessed one of my CPDs go into a bit of a state. It was spiralling round the tank with its back completely arched over, it's now lying at the top of the tank struggling to breathe :( Any thoughts on what may have caused it? I did see two of them circling each other again...

Hi guys, I have noticed recently that a pair of my Celestial Pearl Danios often swim in tight circles with each other, nose to tail, for a good couple of minutes at a time. I have had a search on here but couldn't really see if anyone had experienced the same as I guess it may differ between...

Hi guys, I noticed that one of my CPDs swims in an odd manor earlier, sort of like it's out of balance and has to kick its tail to keep it heading in the right direction. I've uploaded a video (excuse the poor iPad quality) to try and shown you what I mean, the fish swims in front of the first...

Hi guys, Hoping to upgrade my 6 gal to a 16 soon and was wondering what extra stock i could home in there. I currently have 9 CPDs in the 6 gal so i am wary of fish that will make them even more timid. Any suggestions? Many thanks Andy :cool:

Hi guys, Wanted to put a few pictures up of my nano FW as i have had a lot of advice from many people off the forums :thumb: As you can see i have tried to go with a natural theme with plenty of cover as the CPDs aren't half shy sometimes so its all about giving them a good environment...

Hi guys and girls, As per my other thread I have recently started my first tank cycle and I wanted to document it on here :) The tank is a small 6G with fresh substrate, plants and foam filter media, but i transferred a fake rock from when the tank was a coldwater into the tank. It is heated...

Hi guys, Wondering if you can reassure me in this matter. I set up my tank on the 21st of this month and upon checking it yesterday (being the 24th) my ammo level had dropped to between 0.5 and 1ppm but no signs of nitrites, so i re-dosed to 4ppm ammo and left it til today where i have just...

Hi guys, Currently at a bit of a standstill with regards to my indoor tank. Its a mere 29L (6gal) Nano tank and it used to hold my 4 goldfish (overstocked i know!) but they are now in the pond so I'm eying up my option on what to do with it. Now i can appreciate it is a very small tank and...

Hi guys and girls! I'm Andy from Birmingham in the UK :) Have just joined the site and found it to be a really friendly place so far :thumb: Hopefully I can get more involved as my fish keeping develops! At present i am living at home with my parents due to it being ridiculously difficult to...
