Hi guys ordered some pool filter sand and the bag says dried industrial sand. Is that the same thing?

Hi guys, I've had my tank set up for around 4 years now and I'm gradually losing the fish I started out with (to old age I hope!). The tanks 55g, lightly planted with 2 canister filters and: 5 silver hatchets (lfs have 3 marbled hatchets which I might get) 6 black phantom tetras (only 2 female...

Hey guys, been thinking about changing my gravel to pool filter sand for a long time now. Just got a question or two I can't seem to get answered through Google :P I guess the main one is that I know I should turn the filters off (have 2 canisters) when changing it but how long can the bacteria...

I've got a small leak at the top corner of my juwel rio 240. I've lowered the water level and it seems to have stopped. What should I do next?! It's going to worry me all the time now :(

Hey guys just wondering if any of you had advice for me and my new shrimp :) The tanks 10g, full of wood and moss along with around 20 shrimp and two little filters. I have some knowledge on these guys from some researching but they were sold to me with the tank on a whim so I don't want to do...

Ok so I just noticed this, it's kind of bent in the middle, very strange and none of the ther are like it so far. It's a flame tetra in a 55g with 5 other tetras, 8 rummynose, a few honey gouramis, 6 hatchetfish and a few amanos and is fairly heavily planted. The tanks been up for a couple...

Hey guys what's the black dots on the airline tube I'm using for my diy co2? Some form of algae? It's not anywhere else in the tank.

Hey guys, thought I'd give it a go as it was on sale, however.... The middle part that changes colour to indicate ph has come off and must be somewhere in the tank and I was wondering if any of you knew if it might be harmful to the fish if I can't find it? There is a little bit of the colour...

Hey guys just a quick question. Got a juwel rio 240 second hand which is about 4 years old and was just wondering if anyone knew if it would be t5 or t8 lights? The bulbs in there at the moment are aquaglo 40w 107cm which apparently haven't been changed in years :/ and I can't read the...

Hey, I'm upgrading from a 180litre tank to a 240. Was just wondering if it would need cycling? I've had the previous tank for just over a year including the decorations and filters. Is it healthy for the fish to just put them in the new tank with the old filters? As they already cope with the...

Hey guys, so my parents surprised me with a juwel rio 300 second hand for £225 my 21st as Ive been meaning to upgrade from my 180 for a while. First off the measurements of the tank match the rio240 not 300 and when I phoned the seller he refused to believe me and wouldn't refund any money and...

Hi guys, bought a second hand tank today that came with a fluval 405 external but the part that covers the impeller has two clips holding it on and one of the has broken off. Just wondering if its still safe to use or if this might cause any problems?? The guys dropping off the tank in a hour so...
