My ph is going down slowly :) Other tests for today, still no nitrites however my ammonia seems to be lowering :S

We have some residents in the tank! Pond snails, ugh. Suppose I'll leave them there for now :) they can help me make ammonia ;)

Tested the ph again today and it's slightly higher, sitting at about 6.4. I only have a 10w heater that's present to 26 degrees Celsius (78 in Fahrenheit) the lights still on so its still heating, I'll buy a digital thermometer today from work to check how the temp is going :D I didn't want a...

Also added a small heater, it was running off cold water before so hopefully that will help :)

Added some crushed coral, how long until I see a change in ph?

I'll try to get some smaller chunks and I'll replace a sponge chunk with it. :) I wanted to optimise the filter as much as possible haha, it was one of those ****** hob's with the carbon carriage. :P

I'll grab some from work, however it is just coral chunks, not crushed. Does it have to be inside the filter or can it be in a bag on the side of the tank?

Any idea what I can add to raise it? I should have gone with a smaller driftwood :(

Hi guys, a lot of stuff has changed in regards to my tank, I gave all of them away except for my one little 2.5 gallon tank. I am focusing all my money, time and effort into one tank instead of 3-4 :) I am struggling to cycle this tank though!! It has been totally set up & running since the...

So cite! I used to have one myself, he was called mr sharky! He was full grown but I personally never had issues with dominance / territorial stuff, maybe because his tank mate was a 25cm Oscar ;) They are quiet shy though and need things to hide in and under.

Love rams! What would be the minimum tank size for a single fish do you reckon?

It's actually a little over 6 gallons, sorry.

Hi all! I currently have a fully planted 5.5 gallon that's been set up for a little over a year now. It currently houses: 1 male betta 6 nano harlequin rasboras It also has a tiny brisslenose catfish (he's about 3cm's) but he will be rehomed soon. I'm wanting to add some ramshorn snails to...

This is my males tank. It's 21 litres and he shares the tank with 6 nano harlequin rasboras, one guppy fry (that came free with some shrimp) and a few cherry shrimp! I may also add some more cherries if I can find some for a reasonable price! I'm surprised to see a female cherry shrimp...

Her tanks going to be my first attempt at a little more higher quality. Good 36 watt light, ADA Amazonia 2, that kind of thing. I have the hardscape but no idea what plants to use since it's no co2. Do you think those liquid co2's are any good?

This is my male Casper And his girlfriend Boo, they both have ghost related names since they are white ;) Both photos were taken before I bought them by the breeder :) I love them! I do plan to try to get a spawn out of them when I have the time & money / room! And one photo of Caspers...

They look like peacock cichlids to me but don't take my word on it! Better to wait for someone more experienced! Beautiful colour though :)

Hey all! You might have noticed from other posts that I work at my local pet store! I have another question! We have 2 normal tigers and 2 'albino' oscars for sale and one of the albinos fins is interesting! As you can see by the photos his fins have a black pattern to them, I don't think...

By we I meant the employees at our shop, sorry for the confusion! There are 3 of us that were dubbed the 'fish people' me and two others :) I'm not out to sell things but give the correct and honest advice, even if that means saying 'that's too many I wouldn't sell you another'!

I guess he will have to stay there then :/ hopefully someone nice will pick him out. I just don't have the money right now to be putting into another tank since I'm setting a 5gal up for my fighter :) Thanks for the honesty though!

I work at a local pet store and have been eyeing off a cute little 3-4cm ranchu (who has a perfect moustache) who has been in the store tank for a couple weeks now. I have noticed him becoming more lethargic by the day & the urge to save him is becoming very hard to ignore! My only issue is...

It's just at a local pet chain down here in aus, called pet barn. We're smart enough to ask customers about their tank size and set up etc and we do inform everyone that these guys are aggressive. If their tanks are not big enough we don't sell them. The tank is a pretty small one, gonna...

Thanks for the reply (and spelling correction ;) ) It gets light down there :/ and I was under the impression they were a low light plant anyway! No idea of phosphorite levels. Could it just be getting used to the trauma of moving and a new tank (and water conditions) ? It's not just that...

Hi guys! I recently moved my java fern from my shrimp tank into my 5.5 gallon. The tank has the same lighting (just moved everything over to one less tank) and the only thing different was I tied the fern onto a cut piece of driftwood to let it sink (was previously on a river stone) The...

I'll take it tomorrow when I work! :) Thanks for all the help!
