Update on fish I have had the filter going and lights on for 8 hours fish are doing well and feeding well. The only difference from previous is that the heater is no longer in tank.

Hello all. Sorry for the delay in getting back with the water test results, they were as follows: Tap water Ammonia 0.25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 PH7. Tank Water Ammonia 1 Nitrite 0 Nitrates 5 PH 8 although I was not convinced enough time was given for the tests to be accurate. I have stripped the...

At the moment I use Nutrafin Aqua plus previously it was King British safe guard and safe water I was also sold Interpet Ammonia remover by the LFS and that gives me satisfactory ammonia readings but fish still don't live. I have read that it is not good to use ammonia remover so have not done...

Thanks all for your replies. Its as I thought that the voltage may be interfering with the fishless cycle as I have tried to do it a number of times. The filter and lights are integrated the lampholders are not near the water and are 2 x 12 volt 10 watt halogens, the heater was bought after I...

Hello again everybody. I have previously asked a question on this site and I am still trying to resolve my aquarium issue, I have a Fluval Edge 23L it was running okay for almost 2 years but then I lost all the fish either by overstocking or changing too much water at once and cleaning filter...

My filtration is part of the fluval edge and consists of sponge then carbon finally biomax all have been renewed at various stages. My decor is some plastic plants and some resin and terracotta ornaments they were all in the tank for 2 years with no problems. New this time round is bronze effect...

Sorry no one seems to be able to offer a solution. This is a update of more info that might help. I today took a sample of tank water to LFS they tested it in front of me water was perfect no ammonia no nitrite and a ph of 6.5. Bought 2 rosy barbs acclimatised them and apart from initial hour...

I have read a number of articles on fishless cycling had great difficulty getting the correct ammonia but got some built ammonia levels to 4 got it down but not below1 added again to get 4 but still only drops to 1 lowest it has been is .5 with the ammonia blocker. Recently I have not added...

I thought I was doing a fishless cycle for the past 6 weeks that makes me think I am getting something wrong that it is taking so much time for such a small tank. Do you think it would be safe to add a couple of Danios now? Whe I first set my tank up 2 years ago all I did was add the 2 small...

Sorry forgot to say I add the dechlorinator to the water that I am adding to the tank when I do a pwc. This always worked for the 2 years previously.

Thanks AquaKai Yes I was using test strips then I got a API ammonia test kit and that is what I use to test my tank water for ammonia and my tap water both read 1 on the colour scale. Water company confirm ammonia added to water it is safe for humans but not fish. I had bought the test strips...

Hello to everyone hoping to get some advice on a Fluval Edge 23litre tank I have had the tank for 2 years now and had no problems until the end of November when all my fish died off at first I thought it was a disease but the more I read I think it was over stocked and when the fish were clearly...
